Security
That Works
On a Random Tuesday

Most security plans look great in a binder. SimForge Systems builds the kind that hold up when something actually goes wrong — practical, operational, and built for the real world your team lives in.

About SimForge

Built From the Inside Out

SimForge Systems was founded by Riley Stone — a consultant with over 25 years across emergency dispatch, private security supervision, emergency call center management, and state government service.

We don't certify against OSHA, JCAHO, or NFPA. We don't pretend to. What we do is look at how your operation actually runs — on a slow day, during a staff shortage, when the person who knows where everything is calls in sick — and we tell you honestly what we see.

Our Scope
SimForge delivers observations, analysis, and recommendations. Our deliverables are professional consulting products — not regulatory certifications. We review, report, and advise. Implementation decisions remain with you and your team.
Who We Work With
Small and mid-sized businesses. Healthcare-adjacent organizations. Property managers. HR teams. Anyone who suspects their security posture was built on assumptions rather than evidence — and wants to know what's actually true.
AI Disclosure
SimForge uses AI tools in the development of written content, research, and internal documentation. All final work is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human consultant. AI outputs are never presented as independent professional judgment. This use is publicly disclosed on our website and in our client agreements.
What We Do

Services

01
Security & Safety Assessment
A structured walkthrough of your physical environment, operational procedures, and staff readiness. We look at access control, visitor management, emergency response, egress, and the informal habits your team has built around the gaps in your official policy. You get a written report with prioritized findings — not a checklist, a real assessment.
Physical Security Emergency Response Policy Review Remote Available
02
Policy Development & Documentation
Most organizations have policies that were written once, filed somewhere, and haven't been touched since. We write security and safety policy that people can actually read, understand, and follow — covering workplace violence prevention, emergency procedures, incident response, and more. Built for your operation, not a generic template.

03
Due Diligence & Background Research
Before you bring on a vendor, hire a key employee, or accept a partnership offer — know what you're walking into. We conduct OSINT-based due diligence research using publicly available records, business registries, litigation history, and open-source intelligence methodology. You get a written findings report, not a raw data dump. OSINT means open-source intelligence: legal, ethical, and limited to publicly accessible information.

How We Work

01
A Conversation First
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call. No forms, no pressure, no commitment. We figure out what you actually need — and whether we're the right fit for it.
02
Scoped, Written Agreement
You get a clear contract before anything starts — scope, deliverables, timeline, cost. No surprises. Our scope disclaimer is explicit: we provide professional recommendations, not regulatory certifications.
03
Responsible Use of AI & OSINT
We use AI tools to support research, drafting, and analysis — not to replace professional judgment. OSINT research is conducted using only legally and ethically accessible public information. All findings are reviewed by a human before they reach you.
04
Written Deliverables
Our work product is a professional written report with clear findings and prioritized recommendations. You keep it, share it with your team, use it however you need to. It belongs to you.
05
Follow-Up Is Built In
Active clients receive three touchpoints the year after engagement close. Not a newsletter — an actual check-in. We want to know if anything changed and whether the work we did is still holding up.
Privacy & Security Infrastructure
We take the privacy of client information seriously enough to build our operations around it — not just promise it. SimForge runs on a stack selected specifically for security and privacy compliance.
Email & file storage — protected by Swiss privacy law (similar to Proton)
Complete office suite — GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001 compliant (similar to Microsoft 365)
VPN with kill switch — active on all work sessions (similar to NordVPN)
Full 2FA across all platforms — required for all employees and contractors
Swiss-hosted, end-to-end encrypted video — standard for all calls
No third-party data sharing, no ad platforms
Your data stays with us until we no longer need it, or you say otherwise
A Note on OSINT
Open-source intelligence means exactly that: information gathered from publicly accessible sources. Court records, business registries, published news, professional profiles, and other legally available data. We do not access private records, conduct surveillance, or use methods that require a private investigator license. Our due diligence research is transparent, ethical, and documented.
