Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Vector Solutions: Large online training platform serving education and public sector markets with extensive compliance and safety courseware. Comparable as a much larger incumbent that competes for K-12 and higher ed training budget with broader, lower-cost content.
• Secure Community Network: National safety and security advisory organization serving Jewish institutions and broader community organizations. Comparable because DPrep's director previously served as assistant deputy director of training there, and both deliver threat assessment and emergency preparedness training to institutional clients.
• NABITA (National Association for Behavioral Intervention and Threat Assessment): Professional association setting standards and offering training for BIT/CARE professionals. DPrep's director is a past NABITA president, and DPrep's BIT/CARE framework certification maps directly to NABITA's standards, making it both a partner and an adjacent incumbent in the same content category.

Direct peers

• InterACTT (International Association for Care and Threat Teams): Collaborative professional group supporting CARE teams, threat teams, and behavioral intervention work in higher education. Strongly comparable; DPrep explicitly partners with InterACTT and offers a BIT/CARE Team Audit through InterACTT.
• SIGMA Threat Management Associates: Specialist firm providing workplace and campus violence prevention, behavioral threat assessment, and training for multidisciplinary teams. Directly comparable in service portfolio and the BIT/CARE-style team methodology DPrep teaches.
• AT-RISK International: Behavioral threat assessment and violence prevention consulting firm serving educational institutions, workplaces, and houses of worship. Closely comparable to DPrep in target customer base (K-12, higher ed, corporate) and core offering (threat assessment, intervention training, expert witness services).
• TNG (formerly NCHERM Group): Higher education risk management consulting firm offering Title IX, behavioral intervention, threat assessment, and compliance services. Closely comparable because DPrep's Director Dr. Brian Van Brunt was a former partner at TNG, indicating direct methodology and customer overlap.

Emerging players

• SafePlans: School safety technology and emergency preparedness platform providing all-hazards planning, drills, and reunification tools for K-12 districts. Comparable as a parallel vendor serving K-12 safety buyers, with a software-led rather than training-led model.
• Raptor Technologies: K-12 school safety technology platform providing visitor management, emergency management, and student wellness modules. Comparable as a competing channel into the same K-12 district buyers DPrep serves, though focused on integrated software rather than training-only.
• I Love U Guys Foundation: School and community safety non-profit that develops standardized safety protocols (Standard Response Protocol) used in K-12. Comparable because DPrep references its protocols in training materials, indicating parallel focus on K-12 crisis response training.
