Editorial Reviews

Review

'..is the definitive 'how-to' book on starting a security consulting business.'
Protection News, Spring 1996

'For the reader considering the world of security Consultancy this book is
recommended. This publication is clearly set out and is an important read
for those new to the profession.' -- Review --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Review

Remaining from the earlier edition is the valuable information on staring or maintaining a practice. Other strong points in the book address contracting, marketing procedures, and security surveys. A highly useful appendix contains sections on contracts, confidentiality agreements, and best-practice bulletins from the International Association of Private Security Consultants. Security Consulting is a must-read from anyone contemplating entering the business. It is highly recommended as well to existing consultants in need of fresh insights. - Security Management

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro to the Security Business, October 15, 2002

By	D. Edger (Choctaw, OK USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Security Consulting, Second Edition (Paperback)

For the individual considering starting a security consulting business, this book is a must have. Sennewald lays out the basic questions facing the new consultant including, pricing your services, billing, relations with customers, etc. His entire text is not only highly readable, it is to the point and clear. This slim volume is packed with useful information and is one that will remain on my professional book shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Genereic AND specilised, at the same time, August 30, 2003

By	Roland Buresund (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Security Consulting, Second Edition (Paperback)

One of few books about security consulting. It is also a very general walk-through of some of the more practical aspects of starting a consulting business.

Recommended, as it is written in a very straight-talking way, without any mumbo-jumbo or great theories, just pure experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Security Consulting by Charles Sennewald, August 30, 2006

By	Dr. Miguel A. Contreras - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Charles Sennewald is an excellent writer and security consultant with lots of years of private security experience. In preparation for my Certified Protection Professional (CPP) examination, I was required to study several books written by the same author. All of them were very informative. As I am getting ready to retire after almost 30 years of public law enforcement and security, my next book to re-read is Security Consulting as I getting ready to start my own security consulting business: Contreras Associates International in Yuma, Arizona.
