Paragon launches a new risk management sector

US security specialist Paragon is investing in the creation of a new sector offering risk management solutions for its clients. Paragon Risk Management will offer a wide range of solutions including risk advisory, security management, industrial security, protection, emergency response, and intelligence.

These specialised solutions, combined with existing uniformed security services and technology, provide comprehensive programme capabilities for emergency or one-time events and long-term dedicated personnel.

Paragon has hired Jay Jones to lead the new sector. Most recently serving as the Washington, DC, field office director for Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations, Jones provided specialised risk management services to companies around the world. Prior to his role at Pinkerton, he led and supported award-winning global security, emergency management, and business continuity programmes for several multinational corporations in the aerospace and defence industries and for the federal government.

“Expanding our service offerings to include highly sought-after risk management solutions adds tremendous value for Paragon’s and Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services’ (SCIS) clients, while leveraging the 170 years of expertise and global resources of our affiliate, Pinkerton,” said Tony Sabatino, SCIS Chief Executive Officer.

“Jay’s experience and understanding of holistic security risk management across both the federal government and cleared contractor environments allows us to uniquely tailor our solutions, meeting a wide range of client requirements.”
