What differentiates SISU Enlightened Protection from other security service providers?
SISU is a team of modern day Samurai that focuses on the darkness so others can focus on the light.
We recruit the best protective talent from around the world, vet them to ensure they're worthy of trust and confidence, and properly train and equip them to serve and empower YOU.
We're passionate about:
- The art of protection (+supportive technology)
- Effective/efficient/ever-refining business operations (our owner and several of our leadership team are SpaceX alumni)
- Next level customer service - influenced by brands inclusive of the Four Seasons, and the Walt Disney Company.
We're a refreshingly different security firm as you will see on our website, via our social media content, and videos we've posted on YouTube.
What is enlightened protection?
Helping clients see risk clearly + helping them implement fitting mitigations = Enlightened Protection.
The opposite? (cringing as we type) Introducing uncertainty, stoking fear, and leveraging both for profit. Sadly common in the security industry.
Do we provide services beyond Las Vegas?
Yes - both within the United States and around the world. Schedule a complimentary Zoom consultation to speak with us about your specific needs.
What do our services cost?
Service rates vary based on specific requirements. Schedule a complimentary Zoom consultation to discuss your needs today.

2023/2024 presentations:
Protection 2.0: Lessons learned from the high stakes world of rocketry.
In the high stakes world of rocketry, where designing, manufacturing, testing, and launching rockets is incredibly risky (particularly with humans onboard), rapid innovation is the key to mitigating risk and ensuring mission success. This presentation encourages practitioners to look at security through a different lens and smartly lean forward with respect to new, efficient, and innovative practices. Its presenter spent nearly the last decade at the bleeding edge of space flight and imparts lessons learned (specific to security) and how to apply them.
...
The Tao of the Modern Day Samurai: Crafting a Legendary Career in the Rapidly Changing World of Security.
"The study of history is not a matter of idle curiosity. It is the key to understanding our own time and the issues facing us." - David C. McCullough
The legendary Samurai’s commitment to service and empowerment, relentless pursuit of self-mastery, and willingness to take formidable risks serve as an invaluable example for modern-day security professionals who find themselves in a landscape of rapid technological change. Conversely, the Samurai’s inability to evolve and stay relevant also serves as a cautionary tale. Revisit the past to prepare for the future, and craft a legendary career of your own in protection landscape 2.0.
