Protecting Critical Infrastructure 

 Anti-Terror, Crime and Insider Threat Risk Assessment and Mitigation 

Meet our team of crime prevention experts

What we deliver

The ATRiM Group offers an effective, multi-disciplinary approach for identifying and reducing terror and other crime-related threats that is based in prevention science. 

RISK ASSESSMENTS

Our anti-terror and other crime threat risk identification matrix (ATRiM) is the only one of its kind that is based in 2nd Generation Crime Prevention through Environmental Design. We apply solutions that are based in prevention science practice.

Learning and consulting

  ATRiM E-learning improves your organization's capacity to detect a ruse at the point-of-contact with illegitimately obtained and falsified identification; and other types of bogus documents that attest to the declarations people make.  

Are acts of terror, other crimes and insider threats impulsive or rational?

​How we use behavioral science

For generations, security has relied on detection and prevention strategies. Recent science tells a much more complete and complex security story about why people behave the way they do, and on what influences their behavior. 
​

​Behavioral science can assist frontline workers in detecting outlier patterns of deception. It can be applied to influence insiders towards honest choices. Understanding why people behave the way they do, and learning how to discretely assess if someone is being truthful, can save your company millions of dollars per year.

Here's we how we do it

Who we work with

 Frontline Employees

Frontline employees play a huge role in identifying outsider attacks with new competencies and skills to identify aberrant patterns of human behavior. They need the personal confidence to follow up on their concerns  when  something doesn't feel quite right about a person, or their story; and do so so in polite, respectful and unbias ways.
 

Supervisors & Managers

Managers of frontline employees need to be well informed on how mood influences perception; and how emotions inform intuition, judgment and complex decision making. 

They need knowledge and skills for assuring that front line employees who depend on documentation are in working in environments for making the right judgments and decisions. ​

The Roots of our Services

 Acts of Terror and Other Crime Threats

​The ATRiM Group offers a multi-disciplinary approach for identifying and reducing crime-related threats. It was developed with a grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It  introduces crime prevention science to the critical infrastructure risk assessment process.
​ 
Urban planner and criminologist, Gregory Saville, designed the  ATRiM matrix. He is a co-founder of the ​International CPTED Association. 

This prevention science based approach is also applied in our health care counter fraud matrix and related consulting services. ​

Insider 
​Threats

​There are rising concerns about cyber attacks and related insider threats in our workplaces. This adds a new layer of complexity along with other concerns including occupational fraud, theft, and corruption.

At the ATRiM Group, we believe workplaces and outside environments are the most significant players in shaping human behavior. 

From our experience with crime prevention science, we have new insights to share on: 

• Why people behave the way the do and make poor choices when tempted to do bad things, and ​
• Situation specific mitigation responses ​
  ​​​​​​

False Personation & Identity Fraud

The 9/11 Task Force determined that the terrorists boarded planes with fraudulently obtained State Identification Cards.   

​Our frontline E-learning and skills development  were created for detecting red flag indicators of attacks at the point-of-service. The training introduces information gathering and deception detection methods for identifying ruses with fraudulently obtained, counterfeit and genuine documents in the wrong hands. 

Participants learn how to control their mood and  behavior to establish a baseline for observing how people react to their authority to get all the information the need to make business decisions.   

This opens the door for detecting nonverbal and  and verbal cues of an attempted ruse.
