Protect Your Sanctuary Before Threats Find It.
Federally-funded vulnerability assessments, AI-powered threat intelligence, and grant-application support — for schools, parishes, and properties that can't afford to be wrong.
The Threat Landscape
What's changed since 2023.
Catholic schools, parishes, and religious institutions sit at the intersection of two trend lines moving in the wrong direction. The data is public. The math has changed.

The SHIELD™ Framework
Six pillars. One delivery.
Every SHIELD™ Assessment is structured the same way — so your insurer, your bishop, and your safety committee all see the same rigor on every page.
Site Walkthrough
90-minute on-campus walkthrough by both founders. Entry/exit points, visitor flow, lockdown capability, sightlines, camera coverage. Documented by hand, in your presence.
Hardening Recommendations
Specific, prioritized fixes ranked by cost, impact, and grant eligibility. Actual SKUs, vendors, and rough costs your finance committee can act on.
Incident Response Review
Tabletop review of your existing lockdown, evacuation, and threat-response protocols. Pressure-tested against current threat patterns — not 1990s scenarios.
Emergency Communication
How fast can you reach PD? Parents? Diocese? Faculty in an outbuilding? We map your communication tree and identify single points of failure.
Liaison Building
Direct introductions to your local PD school resource liaison and the diocesan safety contact. Direct lines, named relationships, on speed-dial.
Documentation Package
Every finding, every recommendation, every action item — in a written report delivered within 7 days. Insurance-carrier compatible. Legally defensible.

PILOT
Grant Application Assistant
Meet PILOT.

- Generates threat narratives, investment justifications, and mission statements
- Pre-fills standard FEMA forms — you just review and submit
