Resilience isn’t built overnight. It’s developed in stages, from strengthening the basics, to preparing your people and processes, to performing under pressure when it matters most.

At State2 Security, we call this journey Protect , Prepare, Perform (PPP). It’s the framework we use to deliver services to organisations across Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Crewe, and nationally.

Why Protect Prepare Perform?

The world of security can feel complicated, with multiple moving parts — risk management, assurance, crisis planning, exercising. PPP provides a clear structure: a three-stage pathway that makes security resilience simple to understand and apply.

“What makes PPP different is that it’s not just a concept — each stage is underpinned by our established Key Pillars of service.”

Protect – Build Strong Foundations

We help you protect your people, assets, information, and reputation by identifying threats, exposing vulnerabilities, and mitigating risks.

Delivered through our Protective Security Risk Management pillar, this stage provides the foundation of resilience:

Risk assessments (annual and sector-specific)
Vulnerability and maturity reviews
Threat and risk updates tailored to your industry

Prepare – Get Ready to Respond

Preparation means ensuring your organisation is ready to act with confidence when disruption occurs.

Through our Security Assurance and Crisis Management pillars, we help you:

Review policies and procedures
Test maturity across systems and infrastructure
Train leaders and staff in crisis response
Run workshops to strengthen decision-making under pressure

Perform – Prove Your Readiness

Planning is vital, but true resilience is only proven when tested.

Our Crisis Management Exercises pillar ensures your organisation can perform when it counts:

Tabletop simulations
Hybrid and live crisis exercises
Post-exercise reviews and lessons learned
