LaSorsa & Associates

What LaSorsa & Associates does

LaSorsa & Associates is a Deerfield Beach, Florida-based boutique security consultancy founded in 1998 by Joseph A. LaSorsa, a former U.S. Secret Service Agent with Presidential Protection experience at the White House. The firm operates three integrated service lines: protective services (executive protection details, bodyguard services, secure transportation, armored transport, corporate event security, armed security officer programs, safe room design, and deployable security/disaster response), professional training (18+ specialized courses including executive protection instruction, defensive tactics, evasive driving, TSCM, surveillance detection, workplace violence prevention, active shooter response, and church and school security), and consulting and investigations (corporate and residential risk assessments, bug sweeps/TSCM inspections, international private investigations, security expert witness testimony, and IRS 132.5 travel risk assessments).

The firm's technical footprint centers on specialized Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) equipment used for detecting hidden cameras, microphones, trackers, and other technical threats during bug sweep engagements, supplemented by digital risk assessment and protective intelligence methodologies that include social media monitoring and digital executive protection services. Training content is built on the founder's operational experience rather than off-the-shelf courseware, and the company has begun extending into digital threat services addressing device privacy and online exposure for traveling executives. No proprietary AI, software platform, or SaaS product is disclosed.

LaSorsa & Associates runs a direct-to-client professional services model with no channel partners, franchise operations, or marketplace presence. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; initial consultations are offered free over phone and email. The firm holds private investigator and security licenses across at least seven U.S. jurisdictions (Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Washington DC, Maryland, South Carolina) and claims service delivery capability across the Americas, Caribbean, Europe, and parts of Asia. The customer base is bifurcated between executives and high-net-worth individuals seeking personal protection and corporate, institutional, and legal clients seeking consulting, training, and expert witness engagements.
