This recognition validates Petrone Risk’s leading security and risk management consulting services.
Petrone Risk, a nationally recognized leader in safety, security, emergency preparedness, and risk management consulting, is proud to announce that its Safety and Security Risk Management Consulting services have been granted a SAFETY Act (Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act) acknowledgment from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of SAFETY Act Implementation. This significant milestone underscores the firm’s commitment to delivering industry-leading safety, security, risk management, and preparedness solutions. The acknowledgment was approved on July 24, 2026, and extends through August 31, 2029.
The SAFETY Act was established to encourage the development and deployment of effective anti-terrorism technologies and services by providing crucial liability protections for qualified providers. The acknowledgment recognizes qualified technologies and services that demonstrate effectiveness in helping organizations prevent, deter, respond to, and mitigate acts of terrorism.
This milestone represents a significant achievement for Petrone Risk. It reinforces the firm’s longstanding commitment to assisting organizations in strengthening their security posture through comprehensive risk assessments, operational planning, emergency preparedness, training, and security program development.
“Years of deep partnership and collaboration with our clients and the Office of SAFETY Act Implementation have led us to reach the pinnacle of SAFETY Act acknowledgment for our very own technology. The lessons we have learned as part of this community have shaped the very fabric of our team’s culture and service offerings and paved the way for this monumental achievement,” said Kathy Lupia, Chief Risk Officer and Senior Managing Director of Petrone Risk. “In our role as SAFETY Act preparer, we have treated each client interaction and supporting SAFETY Act submission as an opportunity to learn and further the anti-terrorism mission that sits at the core of the codification of the SAFETY Act. Petrone Risk’s recently secured SAFETY Act protections underscore the effectiveness and validity of our methodologies. Our motivation to secure protections is broader than realizing the internal organizational benefits; we saw this as a way to give back to our unparalleled client community and overall, promote the anti-terrorism mission.”
“Receiving a SAFETY Act acknowledgment for our consulting services is a tremendous honor and, most importantly, a reflection of the trust our clients place in our team every day,” said John Petrone, Chief Revenue Officer and Senior Managing Director of Petrone Risk. “Our team has spent years supporting organizations as they look to build safer and more resilient operations. This acknowledgment validates the effectiveness of our methodologies as well as further strengthens our ability to support clients in navigating today’s increasingly complex threat environment.”
For over a decade, Petrone Risk has worked alongside professional sports organizations, educational institutions, healthcare systems, government agencies, critical infrastructure operators, and private-sector organizations to develop, implement, and enhance security and emergency preparedness programs. The firm has also assisted several venues, organizations, and technology providers in successfully obtaining DHS SAFETY Act protections for their own security programs and technologies.
“This SAFETY Act acknowledgment represents more than a milestone for our organization—it validates the processes, plan development methodologies, and risk management strategies we have developed, refined, and continuously evolved throughout our tenure in the industry,” said Nicole Petrone, Chief Legal Officer of Petrone Risk. “The security landscape is constantly changing, and our approach evolves with it. We work alongside organizations to anticipate emerging risks, strengthen preparedness, enhance operational resilience, and build sustainable security programs that protect people, assets, and operations. Petrone Risk’s tenure in the industry, combined with the breadth of services we provide, reflects our unwavering commitment to innovation, excellence, and delivering meaningful value to our clients. Receiving this acknowledgment reinforces our dedication to providing forward-thinking solutions that meet the highest standards of safety and security.”
The acknowledged consulting services include the review and assessment of physical security programs, design, development, and implementation of operational policies, plans, and procedures, emergency preparedness planning, training initiatives, and security program documentation designed to improve organizational readiness and resilience.
This substantial achievement belongs as much to Petrone Risk’s clients as it does to the firm’s team. The team is honored to receive this acknowledgement and remains focused on delivering innovative solutions that address today’s evolving risk landscape. Organizations that invest in preparedness, training, and continuous improvement are setting the standard for safety and security excellence. Petrone Risk is proud to collaborate with its clients to build safer communities, venues, campuses, and workplaces. Their commitment to creating safer environments inspires the firm’s work, and Petrone Risk remains committed to supporting their efforts as they navigate an increasingly complex risk environment.
