What Asfalis Advisors does

Asfalis Advisors is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, that delivers crisis management, business continuity, and emergency management consulting to enterprise and government clients. The company operates through four service pillars—Assess, Plan, Train, and Secure—supported by three named offerings: the S.A.V.E. Assessment (a 200-plus question diagnostic aligned to NFPA 1600 and ISO 22320/22313/22361 standards), the Resilience Leadership Academy (a two-tier training program), and fractional Chief Resilience Officer consulting. Its customer base spans government agencies, transportation systems, healthcare, higher education, commercial facilities, and the energy sector, with visible logos including Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Riskonnect, Vaya Health, Miami-Dade College, Clemson, and the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.

The firm's methodology is anchored in industry-standard continuity and emergency management frameworks rather than proprietary software, with deliverables including business continuity plans, emergency operations plans, crisis management plans, training cohorts, and physical security assessments. It packages thought leadership through the Business Resilience DECODED podcast, a near-170 episode joint venture with Disaster Recovery Journal, and through founder-led speaking engagements. WBENC certification across seven states plus North Carolina HUB designation provide access to public-sector and corporate supplier-diversity procurement channels.

Asfalis monetizes through bespoke quote-based consulting engagements with multi-year contract potential, supplemented by training and subscription-style assessment products. Distribution is founder-led enterprise field sales leveraging direct consulting relationships, referrals, podcast and content marketing, and industry events. The firm is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional capital, no parent company, and no merger or acquisition activity on record.

Core offering

Asfalis Advisors is a professional services consulting firm that helps organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from crises through four core service pillars: Assess (audits and resilience evaluations), Plan (emergency response, business continuity, and crisis management plan development), Train (workforce preparedness and exercise facilitation), and Secure (physical security and CPTED assessments). The firm also offers the proprietary S.A.V.E. Assessment diagnostic tool, the Resilience Leadership Academy training program, and fractional Chief Resilience Officer advisory engagements.

Product overview

Asfalis Advisors is a professional services consulting firm specializing in crisis management, business resilience, and physical security solutions. The company operates a platform of advisory services organized around four core service pillars—Assess, Plan, Train, and Secure—supplemented by three named product offerings: the S.A.V.E. Assessment™ (a diagnostic tool evaluating organizational resilience maturity across six categories with 200+ questions), the Resilience Leadership Academy™ (a two-tiered training program with RLA 100 and RLA 200 courses), and fractional Chief Resilience Officer (fCRO) consulting. The Assess and Plan services are consultative engagements delivering custom audits, risk assessments, and plan development (BCPs, EOPs, CMPs). The Train services deliver structured employee and leadership development via tiered curricula and exercise facilitation. The Secure services provide physical security assessments and CPTED expertise. The company also produced the Business Resilience Decoded Podcast as a thought leadership vehicle. Together, these offerings form a coordinated suite from assessment through execution, with the S.A.V.E. Assessment often serving as the entry point to identify gaps that subsequent training (RLA) or advisory (fCRO) services address.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• BCI (Business Continuity Institute): Global professional association for BCM practitioners; comparable in setting the standards and credentialing landscape (CBCP, ISO 223xx) within which Asfalis' S.A.V.E. framework and training academy are positioned.
• Disaster Recovery Journal (DRJ): Industry media and education company for BC/DR professionals; included because it is Asfalis' strategic podcast partner and conference ecosystem, shaping the thought leadership environment in which the firm competes and sells.

Emerging players

• BCP Software: Business continuity and disaster recovery software vendor offering planning and incident management tools; competes with Asfalis' methodology-based assessment approach for the same BCM budgets, but via a productized SaaS model rather than consulting.
• Fusion Risk Management: Cloud-based operational resilience and BCM platform competing for the same enterprise and government continuity programs that Asfalis supports with consulting services; a partial substitute for firms that prefer a software-led approach over advisory engagements.

Broad incumbents

• Kroll: Global risk and financial advisory firm with a large business continuity, crisis management, and security consulting practice competing for the same enterprise and government clients as Asfalis, but with much broader service breadth and geographic scale.
• PwC (Risk Consulting): Big 4 risk consulting practice with crisis response, BCM, and operational resilience offerings that target the same Fortune 500 and large government accounts as Asfalis' fCRO and Assess services.
• Deloitte (Risk & Resilience practice): Big 4 advisory with a substantial business continuity, crisis management, and operational resilience practice; competes with Asfalis for multi-million dollar enterprise and public-sector BCM programs from a position of far greater scale and balance sheet.

Direct peers

• Avalution Consulting: A business continuity and resilience consulting firm that delivers BC program development, assessments, training, and software-agnostic advisory — directly comparable to Asfalis' Assess / Plan / Train / Secure service pillars and S.A.V.E.-style maturity assessments.
• Witt O'Brien's (OneGroup): Crisis and emergency management consultancy with a strong government and critical infrastructure focus, offering continuity planning, exercises, and crisis response advisory — directly comparable to Asfalis' government-heavy portfolio and emergency management practice.
• MHA Consulting: Specialist BCM and IT disaster recovery consultancy offering assessments, plan development, exercises, and BC program advisory; closely comparable to Asfalis in scope of services, mid-market enterprise focus, and standards-aligned (ISO/NFPA) methodology.
