Experience you can rely on
A team from military, law enforcement, intelligence, international relations and legal backgrounds, working across cultures and time zones.
Built on first-hand experience
Giosec is owned and run by experienced professionals whose combined experience and international networks let us take on complex national security projects with confidence.
Our country and technology managers, senior operations staff and consultants come largely from UK and US specialist units and the UK intelligence community. They have supported national security organisations directly, whether the task involves training, technology, procurement or operational support.
Recent work has taken us to:
Project management
Our projects run as a controlled, visible set of activities with clear roles and accountability. Everyone involved knows why the project exists, what it must achieve and how the results will be delivered. Our approach is:
- Grounded in a clear business case, with planning based on outputs
- Supported by a defined organisational structure
- Flexible, working through controlled stages
Quality control
We build quality management into our project management framework. In practice that means:
- Agreeing the core deliverables with key stakeholders
- Scheduling resources in advance
- Setting measurable quality criteria
- Checking every output against agreed standards
- Getting formal sign-off on schedules and documents
- Keeping decisions moving
- Giving professional, objective and impartial advice
- Building a shared team with the people who benefit
Risk management
We manage risk on every project, with no exceptions. Risks are formally identified, and each counter-measure has a named owner. We keep the environment open so that sponsors, stakeholders and users can raise concerns and propose solutions.
We identify risks early and reassess them throughout the project. Our in-house method has been refined over many years of delivery.
