Our Story & Philosophy
Strategic Mandate
At Sawler Group, LLC, our mandate is clear: to provide Strategic Resilience Consulting that directly shields our clients' financial health, operational continuity, and executive reputation. We believe that security is not an expense; it is a vital, integrated component of governance and business enablement.
Founded by David Sawler, our approach is built on a rare combination of specialized, certified expertise across the entire risk spectrum—from the corporate boardroom to the high-stakes event environment.
The Trifecta of Expertise: Our Leadership
Our firm’s foundation rests on the comprehensive, cross-domain knowledge of its founder. David Sawler holds three of the industry's most respected and demanding certifications, confirming a unique ability to manage complex, multifaceted risk for high-level organizations.

High-Stakes Event Liability & Safety (CSSP®)
- Credential: Certified Sports Security Professional (CSSP®)

Our Philosophy: Strategic & Integrated Risk Management
We operate on the principle that effective security requires a holistic view. Our advisory services do not separate physical security from cybersecurity or event liability; we integrate them using an Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) methodology.
Strategic Focus
Governance First: We advise on policy development and compliance frameworks, ensuring security is addressed at the governance level, minimizing fiduciary risk.
Predictive Intelligence: We move beyond traditional monitoring by employing advanced analytics to anticipate threats and implement preventative measures, ensuring proactive defense.
Business Alignment: Our solutions are custom-engineered to support, not hinder, your business objectives, protecting your ability to grow and operate globally without interruption.
