The Honolulu CEO’s Blind Spot
Honolulu is a global hub — government offices, universities, Fortune 500 companies, and tourism giants operate side by side. Yet many CEOs treat threat assessment as a security checklist instead of a leadership discipline.
As a former LAPD officer, federal contractor under WPS/WPPS, and Director of Safety at a major Hawaiʻi university, I’ve seen leaders thrive when they integrate prevention — and fail when they wait until after an incident.
Why Threat Assessment Services Are Critical for Honolulu Leaders
Insider Risks: Employees with access to restricted systems or areas, highlighted in Insider Threats in Hospitals (Archive.org).
Reputation Liability: One mishandled incident in Hawaiʻi can echo globally. See Case Study: SMBs That Survived vs Collapsed (Academia.edu).
Legal Exposure: Courts are increasingly holding CEOs personally liable.
Hospitality & Tourism Targets: Hotels and attractions remain high-profile soft targets.
What a Comprehensive Threat Assessment Should Include
Behavioral Threat Assessment — Research-backed CSTAG model applied to schools and businesses (School Threat Assessments 2025 – Scribd).
Access Control Audits — Findings reinforced by Locked Down: CrisisWire Blog.
Cyber-Physical Reviews — As shown in Cyber-Physical Security Blog.
Leadership Documentation — Informed by Leadership Liability in Crisis (Academia.edu).
Leadership Responsibility in Honolulu
Honolulu CEOs can’t afford to rely on cameras and guards alone. A breach of access, insider sabotage, or protest disruption will land squarely on leadership. Threat assessment is no longer optional; it’s a fiduciary duty.
