WHO WE ARE

DDCues is a national risk management firm committed to protecting people, securing infrastructure, and defending the Nation.

These missions are life-long passions that our Leadership team brings from careers in special operations, intelligence, law enforcement, and public service – including as the former commander of First Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (Delta Force) and the former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Our private sector experience in financial services, education, oil & natural gas, investigations, and inter-agency contracting further allows us to advise clients on the most complex and sensitive issues with confidence, all supported by a global network of skilled professionals and thought leaders.

In times of unrest, your personnel, investments, and essential services are all at risk. Our experts in emergency management are recognized leaders in organizing and implementing the optimal crisis response to safeguard what matters most.

We offer a full audit and assessment of your current business, executive personal security and the security of your global, or national corporate footprint with comprehensive protection against physical, digital, and operational threats.

These services can include physical security measures like access control systems, surveillance, and executive protection teams, ensuring a safe environment for business operations and leadership.

We are certified by the US Department of Veterans Affairs, the New York State Office of General Services, and the NYNJ Port Authority, as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB).
