ABOUT SNELL ADVISORY

who we are

At SAG, we believe that effective security begins with the identification of information critical to the company’s success as well as the independent analysis of critical personnel and physical infrastructure supporting protection of that information.  

We have a network of former military and intelligence personnel who have worked some of our nation’s toughest problems. SAG is able to analyze and develop policies, programs, process, and training to ensure the integration of technology and personnel are focused on information protection.  

We are a licensed Virginia Private Investigation company, and provide services that ensure the personnel with access to your company’s critical information meet security requirements and continued review for access to that information.  

With SAG providing valuable perspectives and insights, company leadership can be confident navigating dynamic international, government, and commercial environments.
