Wittner Security Consultants provides six physical security consulting services to Northern California organizations: risk and vulnerability assessments, security system design, master planning, CPTED and environmental design, emergency and incident planning, and compliance and code guidance.
Every engagement is delivered personally by Paul Wittner, a California licensed contractor with 46 years in the field. No guards are staffed, no hardware is sold, and no work that gets recommended is bid or installed by us.
Evidence-led evaluation of your site, systems, and procedures against the threats you actually face.
02 / DESIGNVendor-neutral CCTV, access control, and low-voltage designs and specifications you own and control.
03 / PLANA prioritized, budget-aware roadmap that aligns your security program with real risk and operations.
04 / PREVENTCrime Prevention Through Environmental Design: lighting, sightlines, access, and layout that deter crime by design.
05 / PREPAREClear, practical response plans and procedures so your team knows exactly how to act when something happens.
06 / COMPLYPractical guidance to meet the security codes, standards, and regulations that apply to your facility and industry.
These are not six unrelated products. In most engagements they follow a natural order, and you rarely need all of them:
There is no bench of junior associates here. Paul performs the site walk, writes the findings, and presents them himself. For a facility trusting someone with its vulnerabilities, that continuity matters more than a larger logo. More about Paul.
Most engagements begin with a risk and vulnerability assessment, because it establishes what the real problems are before anyone spends money solving the wrong one. If you already know the problem and need a buildable specification, design work can start directly. A phone call is usually enough to tell which.
No. Wittner Security Consultants serves Northern California only. This is deliberate: physical security work requires being on site, repeatedly, at different hours, and a consultant who cannot get to your building quickly is not much use to you.
No. This practice is physical security: buildings, perimeters, doors, cameras, access control, lighting, layout, and procedures. If your problem is network or data security, we are not the right consultant and will say so.
No. We staff no officers and have no guard force to sell you. That absence is deliberate, because it is what allows an assessment to conclude honestly that you do not need more guards.
Most people are not, and that is fine. Describe the facility and what prompted the call, and Paul will tell you which of these you actually need, including when the answer is none of them.
