Scuola Internazionale Etica & Sicurezza Milano - L'Aquila

What Scuola Internazionale Etica & Sicurezza Milano - L'Aquila does

Scuola Internazionale Etica & Sicurezza (SIES) is an Italian professional services firm operating as GAM Education & Consulting S.r.l., founded in 2009 by Paola Guerra following her direct involvement in the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake response. Headquartered in Milan with additional offices in L'Aquila and Pietrasanta, the firm delivers consulting, training, research, and recruiting services across six core areas: Enterprise Risk Management, Corporate Security & Safety Management, Travel Risk Management, Crisis & Emergency Management, Information Security & Cyber Risk Management, and People & Organization Care. The methodology emphasizes deep listening, customization, and an integrated multidisciplinary approach that combines security, ethics, and organizational wellbeing through the founder's dual expertise in Economics and Cognitive Psychology with specialization in Emergency Psychology.

SIES serves two primary customer segments: organizations seeking integrated security and risk management advisory (reportedly 180 companies and clients served, with Chiesi Farmaceutici as a named enterprise reference) and security professionals seeking specialized training and certifications (1,250 professionals trained across 360 projects). The firm also operates SIES Recruiting, a dedicated search-and-selection service for Health, Safety, and Security talent. Distribution is entirely domestic — limited to Lombardy, Abruzzo, and Tuscany — and delivered via direct enterprise sales, course delivery across three locations, and a content-led marketing program spanning blog, newsletter, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, and community events. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The business operates without external investment, holding €100,000 in registered share capital and a small multidisciplinary team of 16–25 professionals. The firm is certified UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and UNI/PdR 125 for gender equality. Its "Ambasciatori di Sicurezza" alumni community and a network of approximately 200 testimonials and instructors create a referral-driven ecosystem. There is no disclosed proprietary technology platform; SIES is fundamentally a people-and-expertise-led consultancy rather than a software or AI-driven business.
