Corporate Security Services in Southern California

If you are searching for guard staffing or uniformed security officers, Pentagon is not the right fit. What we provide is different: intelligence-led corporate security consulting and protection program design for organizations that need to prevent threats, not just respond to them.

Pentagon Executive Protection designs corporate security programs for corporations, executive teams, and boards throughout Southern California. Founded in 2000 by former U.S. Army Recon Scout and LA County Sheriff's Deputy David S. Boone, our firm brings Secret Service methodology, behavioral science expertise, and 25 years of operational experience to every corporate engagement. Our team is comprised of agents and consultants from the Secret Service, FBI, SWAT, Special Operations, and Diplomatic Security Service.

Prevention is the highest form of protection. That principle drives every corporate security program we design.

What Corporate Security Services Actually Mean

Corporate security is frequently misunderstood as a staffing function. Organizations call a guard company, deploy uniformed officers to a lobby, and consider the box checked. Pentagon operates differently. We approach corporate security as a strategic discipline: assessing the organization's full threat exposure, designing programs that address risk at the source, and integrating protection into operations without disrupting them.

The result is a fundamentally different outcome. Organizations that work with Pentagon experience fewer incidents, lower liability exposure, stronger duty-of-care compliance, and protection programs that hold up to board-level scrutiny.

If your needs fall into a specific category within corporate security, these pages may be a better fit:

• For ongoing C-suite and executive protection: Executive Protection Services
• For a long-term retainer relationship: Corporate Security Retainer
• For a pending high-risk employee separation: Hostile Termination Security
• For a formal organizational threat evaluation: Threat Assessment and Intelligence

Corporate Security Services Pentagon Provides

Security Risk Assessment

Effective corporate security begins with an honest evaluation of where your organization is exposed. Pentagon conducts comprehensive security assessments of corporate facilities and operational environments throughout Southern California, evaluating physical security measures, access control systems, threat posture, and emergency response capabilities. The output is actionable intelligence, not a generic checklist.

Workplace Violence Prevention

Workplace violence is rarely random. It develops from identifiable patterns that go unaddressed. Pentagon's workplace violence prevention programs include behavioral threat assessment, security awareness protocols, and response procedures designed for corporate environments. Our threat assessment methodology draws from the U.S. Secret Service model, identifying warning signs and managing threatening situations before they escalate to incidents.

Access Control and Physical Security Design

Pentagon designs access control frameworks and physical security programs for corporate facilities that control exposure without impeding operations. We assess visitor management, credentialing systems, surveillance architecture, and perimeter security, then develop recommendations that integrate with your existing infrastructure and operational culture.

Executive Protection Integration

Corporate security programs are most effective when they extend beyond the facility to protect the individuals who lead the organization. Pentagon integrates executive protection into broader corporate security programs, ensuring the threat assessment work done at the organizational level directly informs how individual principals are protected.

Crisis Management Planning

Corporate security planning must prepare for scenarios that fall outside daily operations. Pentagon develops crisis response frameworks for corporate clients covering active threat scenarios, executive targeting incidents, workplace violence events, and reputational security situations. Programs include tabletop exercises, coordination with local law enforcement, and clear command structures for the moments that matter most.

Active Shooter Preparedness

Pentagon delivers corporate active shooter preparedness programs developed by agents who have operated in high-threat federal environments. Programs are tailored to your facilities, workforce size, and industry, giving leadership and employees the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively rather than freeze.

Industries Pentagon Serves

Corporate security risk varies significantly by industry. Pentagon has designed programs for organizations across Southern California's most complex operating environments:

• Entertainment and media companies managing executive visibility, production security, and talent protection
• Technology firms facing employee disputes involving sensitive data access or intellectual property
• Financial institutions and family offices with executives whose access to client assets creates elevated personal risk
• Healthcare organizations navigating high-stress workforce environments and patient-facing security challenges
• Professional services firms managing partners and senior personnel with significant public profiles
• Corporations managing workforce reductions requiring integrated hostile termination and executive protection support

The Pentagon Difference

Strategy Before Deployment

Most corporate security engagements begin with staffing decisions. Pentagon begins with intelligence. We assess the full threat picture before recommending any protective measure, ensuring resources are deployed where they have the greatest impact rather than where they are most visible.

Owner-Led Accountability

As a boutique firm, founder David S. Boone personally oversees every corporate security engagement. You are not handed to a junior account manager or a rotating team of unfamiliar faces. The strategic thinking behind your program comes directly from 25 years of operational experience at the highest levels of protection work.

Behavioral Science Foundation

Our past partnership with Dr. Paul Ekman, a pioneer in the study of behavior, emotion, and deception, shaped the behavioral science methodology embedded in every corporate security assessment we conduct. Our specialists identify threat indicators that conventional security approaches miss because they understand the human factors that drive dangerous behavior.
