Why an independent consultant

Objective by design.

Most "security consultants" are guard companies or equipment resellers, so their recommendation is really their sales pitch. Wittner Security Consultants sells no guards and no hardware. The only thing ever being recommended is what actually protects you.

No guards to sell

You get an honest assessment of what you need, not a proposal to staff your building with our people.

No product line to push

System design is vendor-neutral. You own the specifications and can competitively bid them to any integrator.

A licensed designer, not just an advisor

California C-10 and BSIS licensed. Paul can engineer the systems he recommends, so the advice is grounded in what genuinely gets built.

What we do

Senior expertise across the full security lifecycle.

From the first risk assessment to verifying the final installed system, one experienced principal stays accountable to the outcome.
