Our Methodology
At Montane Protective Security, we believe effective security begins with understanding the threat.
In today's complex operating environment, organisations face a broad range of risks including criminal activity, cyber threats, insider risks, foreign interference, supply chain disruption and natural hazards. Managing these challenges requires more than compliance or the implementation of isolated security controls. It requires a clear understanding of the threats that have the potential to impact people, information, assets and operations.
Our Threat-Informed Protective Security methodology integrates threat intelligence, risk management and resilience into a practical framework that helps organisations make informed security decisions and build enduring capability.
By understanding the threat, managing the risk and strengthening resilience, organisations can better protect what matters and prepare for what's next:

The Montane Threat Framework
Threat-informed security requires a structured understanding of the threat environment.
The Montane Threat Framework helps organisations assess the broad range of threats that may impact their people, information, assets and operations.
The framework considers:
Strategic Threats
Foreign intelligence services, state-sponsored actors and sophisticated adversaries.
Motivated Threats
Organised crime, insider threats, fraud, activism and other intentional actors.
Opportunistic Threats
Theft, vandalism and exploitation of vulnerabilities.
Environmental Threats
Natural hazards, infrastructure failures and disruptive events.
Understanding these threats enables organisations to make informed decisions about security, risk management and resilience.

The Montane Difference
Our methodology underpins every service we deliver.
By combining expertise in protective security, intelligence, cyber security, risk management and organisational resilience, we help organisations make better security decisions based on evidence, intelligence and risk, rather than assumptions.
This enables security investments to be targeted, proportionate and aligned to the threats that matter most.
