Many organizations focus their security efforts on external threats while overlooking risks that may emerge from trusted employees, contractors, volunteers, vendors, or other individuals with legitimate access to facilities, information, systems, or assets. Insider threats can result in financial losses, reputational damage, operational disruptions, workplace violence, theft, fraud, sabotage, data compromise, and significant organizational harm.
Drewry Consulting Group helps organizations develop comprehensive Insider Threat Programs that identify vulnerabilities, improve detection capabilities, strengthen reporting processes, and create structured approaches for managing insider risks before they result in serious consequences.
Our programs emphasize prevention, early identification, multidisciplinary collaboration, and risk-informed decision-making.
Insider threats rarely emerge without warning. In many cases, warning signs, behavioral indicators, policy violations, grievances, operational concerns, or performance issues occur long before significant harm takes place.
A formal Insider Threat Program helps organizations:
Effective insider threat programs focus on managing risk while maintaining employee trust, fairness, and organizational integrity.
Drewry Consulting Group develops Insider Threat Programs that are scalable, practical, and aligned with organizational culture, mission, and operational realities.
Program Assessment
We begin by evaluating existing policies, reporting practices, investigative capabilities, security procedures, governance structures, and organizational risks to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Risk Identification
Our consultants assess potential insider threat vulnerabilities across the organization, including personnel, operational, physical, technological, and cultural factors that may contribute to increased risk.
Governance and Oversight
Successful programs require clear ownership and accountability. We help organizations establish governance structures that support effective decision-making, information sharing, and program sustainability.
Insider Threat Team Development
We assist organizations in establishing multidisciplinary teams responsible for identifying, evaluating, investigating, and managing insider threat concerns.
Typical participants may include:
Detection and Reporting Processes
We develop processes that allow organizations to identify and report potential insider threat indicators through established channels while protecting confidentiality and encouraging appropriate reporting.
Investigation and Case Management
Our consultants help organizations create procedures for reviewing concerns, gathering information, assessing risk, documenting findings, and determining appropriate interventions.
Education and Awareness
Employee awareness is critical to program success. We provide training that helps personnel understand insider threats, recognize warning signs, and know how to report concerns appropriately.
Insider threat management requires expertise that extends beyond traditional security programs.
Drewry Consulting Group brings extensive experience in:
Our approach helps organizations balance security, privacy, employee relations, legal considerations, and operational requirements while creating sustainable programs that reduce risk.
Comprehensive Insider Threat Programs may include:
Each program is customized to reflect the organization's specific risks, industry requirements, and operational environment.
Museums, libraries, archives, historic sites, and cultural institutions are entrusted with protecting irreplaceable collections, sensitive information, donor relationships, and valuable assets. Insider Threat Programs help identify risks associated with unauthorized access, theft, policy violations, collection handling concerns, and workplace misconduct.
Public attractions rely on large workforces, volunteers, contractors, and third-party vendors. Insider Threat Programs help organizations identify vulnerabilities that may affect visitor safety, animal welfare, revenue operations, facilities, and organizational reputation.
Higher education institutions manage sensitive information, research activities, financial resources, and complex operations. Programs help identify and address internal risks involving employees, contractors, students, and affiliates.
Healthcare organizations face unique insider risks involving patient information, controlled substances, workplace violence concerns, and operational continuity. Programs strengthen oversight and improve early detection of concerning behaviors.
Faith-based organizations often rely heavily on trust, volunteers, and community engagement. Insider Threat Programs help identify vulnerabilities while supporting healthy governance and accountability practices.
Organizations face insider risks ranging from theft and fraud to workplace violence, information misuse, sabotage, and reputational harm. Insider Threat Programs provide structured oversight and proactive risk management capabilities.
A multi-site organization recognized that it lacked a formal process for identifying and managing insider threat risks. Leadership was concerned about increasing reports involving policy violations, employee grievances, information access concerns, and inconsistent reporting practices.
The organization sought a structured framework for identifying risks and coordinating responses before incidents escalated.
Drewry Consulting Group conducted a comprehensive review that included:
The review identified gaps in reporting pathways, information sharing, case management practices, employee awareness, and organizational oversight. Multiple departments maintained relevant information but lacked a formal mechanism for coordinated review and intervention.
The organization implemented a comprehensive Insider Threat Program that included governance structures, reporting protocols, multidisciplinary review processes, employee awareness initiatives, and case management procedures. Leadership gained improved visibility into organizational risks and greater confidence in its ability to identify and manage concerns proactively.

An Insider Threat Program is a structured framework designed to identify, assess, manage, and mitigate risks posed by individuals with trusted access to an organization's facilities, assets, systems, information, or operations.
No. Insider threats can be intentional or unintentional. Risks may arise from malicious actions, poor decision-making, negligence, workplace stressors, policy violations, or other circumstances that create vulnerabilities for the organization.
Traditional security programs often focus on external threats. Insider Threat Programs specifically address risks associated with trusted individuals who already have legitimate access to organizational resources.
Programs are most effective when supported by multidisciplinary stakeholders, including security, human resources, legal counsel, information technology, risk management, compliance personnel, and organizational leadership.
Yes. Many insider threat indicators overlap with workplace violence risk factors, making Insider Threat Programs a valuable component of a broader violence prevention and threat management strategy.
Insider threats can affect every organization, regardless of size or industry. Developing a structured Insider Threat Program helps organizations identify risks earlier, improve coordination, strengthen oversight, and protect the people, assets, and operations that matter most.
