Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Control Risks: Global leader in political, security and integrity risk consulting. Comparable as a competitor for corporate and government security risk advisory mandates including major event and venue work, though much broader in scope (investigations, cyber, political risk) than Sheridan's crowded-places/event focus.
• Pinkerton: Established global corporate security and investigations firm offering risk consulting, executive protection and event security. Notably, Sheridan's consultant Geno Barrone is a former Pinkerton contractor, indicating labour-market and competitive overlap.
• GardaWorld / Crisis24: Global security, intelligence and crisis management firm under GardaWorld with embedded security risk consulting. Competes for the same protective security, HVM and emergency management advisory work and offers integrated guarding alongside advisory, paralleling Sheridan's two-arm structure.
• AECOM (Security & Risk Advisory): Global engineering consultancy with a security and risk advisory practice covering counter-terrorism, hostile vehicle mitigation and protective security for major infrastructure. Comparable on HVM, CPTED and event security for major infrastructure clients and competes for the same design-phase projects Sheridan targets.
• KPMG Australia (Risk Consulting): Big Four risk and advisory practice that competes for government and enterprise security risk, internal audit and crisis management mandates that overlap with Sheridan's portfolio, though security is one of many service lines.

Direct peers

• S-RM: Boutique security and intelligence consultancy covering threat assessment, crisis management and protective security across sectors. Closely comparable in size and specialisation to Sheridan's consulting arm and competes for similar enterprise security risk mandates.
• Drum Cussac: Boutique security and risk consultancy providing protective security, travel risk and crisis management services to corporate and government clients. Comparable specialisation and headcount profile to Sheridan's consultancy.
• BRS International (Red24): Specialist security risk management consultancy providing protective security, travel security, crisis response and event security advisory. Closely comparable boutique competitor on event/crowded-places and protective security advisory engagements.

Regional players

• Wilson Security: One of Australia's largest national security guarding providers with electronic security and consulting. Competes on the operational guarding and event security elements of Sheridan Security Group, primarily within ANZ.
• MSS Strategic (MSS Security): Major Australian-owned integrated security services provider offering guarding, electronic security and consulting across ANZ. Direct competitor on the Sheridan Security Group guarding arm and on ANZ event/venue mandates, with far larger headcount.
