Saker Partners comprises a senior management team of experienced security risk professionals with a shared vision of 'enhancing resilience.'
Saker Partners offers advisory services to clients ranging from architects and urban planners looking to incorporate resilience into their designs to giga-projects in challenging and complex environments looking to enhance their operational resilience and build capability on the ground.
In previous engagements across EMEA and ASEAN, Saker's founding partners led significant projects in all relevant areas, including giga-project security strategy, policy and procedure design, operational logistics, crisis management, and physical security operations.
Saker's integrated and personalised approach to enhancing your company's resilience sets it apart from its competitors.
An organisation’s ability to recover from a crisis or respond effectively to change.
Resilience has applications in all business sectors, from urban design and planning, physical security operations to finance. Consumers, clients, and executives all want assurances that organizations (and their wider ecosystems) can withstand a much broader spectrum of risks than simply financial ones.
Saker Partners will guide you through this process.
Leadership lives at the intersection of resilience and relevance.
Ultimately, the most successful leaders are those who plan for the unexpected. They are guided by the 5 C's: Collaboration, Communication, Consistency (of thought and action), Compassion, and, most importantly, Courage - the resilience to do the right thing at the right time, in the right way, and for the right reasons.
Saker Partners will guide you through this process.
The Culture of Resilience
Is your company resilient?
A company's leadership must promote a culture of resilience - the ability to recover from a crisis or respond effectively to change.
All employees are responsible for continuously enhancing the company's resilience. By promoting a culture of resilience, you are furthering your ability not just to survive but thrive.
Saker Partners will guide you through this process.

Let’s Talk
anticipate
Challenge
A Federal Government agency had completed an internal review of their security governance documentation for compliance with the National Government’s Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF).
Issues
The review had identified a significant number of documents had expired or were never completed and did not consider the current risk environment or activities of the Government Department.
Solutions
The Senior Executive responsible for the security function contacted the consultant for support to develop security documentation to improve the Departments security culture and security leadership and ensure compliance with the impending PSPF audit.
The consultant conducted an initial gap analysis of the status of the Department’s existing documents against the PSPF requirements and developed a priority schedule based on reducing the risk level for the Department’s People, Information and Assets.
prepare
Challenge
The client was a smart-city, giga-project located in the Middle East. Initially, the client`s security department was not an integral part of the internal decision-making process, only consulted on a case-by-case basis, usually in the later stages. External consultants, employed by the sector heads to assist with strategic planning and design, usually lacked clarity and guidance on security expectations; therefore, their suggested security measures often lacked any rationale and were frequently contrary to the design aspirations.
Solutions
Our partners wrote a set of security standards to ensure the concepts aligned with the smart city`s design and development plans defining the security deliverables at specific stages of this process. With the giga-project`s assets ranging from critical infrastructure to hospitality, recreational, and residential across multiple zones, our partners established a performance-oriented standard - it aimed to deliver consistency for all security-related concepts across the zones. However, it also offered flexibility to ensure alignment with the strategic objectives of the individual assets.
Result
Feedback on the initiative from within the organization was very positive; the security department is now a mandatory stakeholder responsible for signing off on all stage deliverables. Consequently, the perception of the security department`s mandate noticeably changed from that of a regulatory entity towards that of a service partner, which offers advice on resilience in harmony with strategic development aspirations.
respond
Challenge
The client was a security and public safety department tasked with designing and implementing the emergency response capability for current and future operations. During our partners` engagement, the current operations centered on a 400-man camp located in a remote region with poorly trained and equipped local medical and emergency services. The planned future operations were spread over a large, diverse area, consisting of residential, industrial, sport, hospitality, and energy assets. Our client`s immediate challenge was to establish an interim emergency response capability while defining the requirements for a project-wide response mechanism.
Solutions
Our partners worked with selected stakeholders from within the organization and designed an interim emergency response capability. Weekly meetings managed the process, and a series of desktop exercises tested the procedures and identified capability gaps. A duty officer role provided a 24-hour response capability and offered peace of mind to the residents. Regular live test exercises with the on-site emergency services ensured a coordinated response during an incident.
Result
Over five months, our partners significantly enhanced the resilience of the 400-man camp. Without the appropriate response framework in place, the emergency services` response capability was unacceptable. After delivering the emergency response capability framework, the enhanced response mechanism resulted in a safer environment for all residents.
adapt
Challenge
The client was a smart city`s security and public safety department with urban and economic developments planned on a vast scale. In line with the overall vision of the giga-project, the aim was to implement a future-oriented security strategy with reliance on emerging security technologies and underpinned by a well-trained and equipped security force.
Solutions
Our partners led the development of an operating model allowing the client to identify, test, evaluate and implement suitable security technology solutions. The model`s scope was to create a standardized process comparing systems and solutions against defined requirements and specifications through testing. The evaluation of the results assesses the functionality, reliability, and suitability of the individual solution. In addition, our team initiated the design of a competency framework for security personnel. The framework defined several distinct roles, career paths, and respective training curricula.
Result
Our client can now gradually build up security capabilities, both personnel- and technology-based. The test and evaluation operating model will support the strategic ambition to utilize cutting-edge security solutions based on a requirements analysis and a systematic process to understand the maturity and suitability of identified emerging technologies. The competency framework complements this operating model and will enable the organization to identify capability gaps over time and adjust roles and training curricula accordingly.
