Does security advisory work on behalf of international governments, particularly in Latin America and the Middle East, ultra rich private individuals and heads of state.

Command Consulting Group is an "international security and intelligence consulting firm", founded in Washington in 2009 by W. Ralph Basham, Joe Hagin, Steve Atkiss and Thad Bingel.

Staff

Many former senior employees of the US government work for the group, including David Carey (former Executive Director of the Central Intelligence Agency). U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Department of Homeland Security are particularly well represented, but it also includes political appointees from the Clinton, Obama and both Bush administrations.

Activities

The firm is known for its security advisory work on behalf of international governments, particularly in Latin America and the Middle East, ultra rich private individuals and heads of state, and for the assistance it provides to companies with security related products and services in helping grow their business.

Command Group does not disclose a list of its clients.

In rare public reporting on CG's activities, in February, 2011 Government Security News published a story about how CG had been hired by the Government of Haiti to evaluate security at the Port-au-Prince International Airport, provide training to its security forces and recommend improvements to the technology used for screening passengers, baggage and cargo.

CG's only other publicly known client was SMobile Systems, a cyber-security company which focused on provided security software for mobile devices. Smobile Systems was sold to Juniper Networks in the Summer of 2010 for $74 million.
