Security Consulting That Prevents the Crisis Before It Starts

SSA helps organizations shift from reactive defense to proactive protection—by building prevention-first safety strategies, early threat detection systems, and cross-functional leadership.

Who We Are

Security Built from the Inside Out.

Strategic Security Advisors (SSA) is not a guard company. We don’t sell alarms or patrol cars. We provide strategic, prevention-focused security consulting for schools, houses of worship, businesses, and property managers who want real protection—not just compliance.

Founded by Daniel Schneider, CPP and former IDF soldier, SSA exists to fill the gap most security firms ignore: the 80% of the attack cycle that happens before the violence. We teach leadership how to see it, stop it, and build safety from the inside out.
What Makes Us Different
  • We don’t chase threats. We prevent them.
  • Our founder has lived the threats—and knows what works.
  • We aren’t former first responders. We’re First Preventers.
  • We train people, not just build policies.
  • We focus on human behavior, not hardware.

Our Mission

To help organizations prevent violence, avoid liability, and create safer spaces for the people who rely on them.

Our Approach

  • Rooted in prevention
  • Grounded in behavioral science
  • Powered by leadership training
  • Designed for real-world performance

Why We’re Different — First Preventers, Not First Responders

We’re Not Former First Responders. We’re First Preventers
