Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management
A Proactive Approach to Campus Safety
Secure Passage offers a HIPAA-compliant Behavioral Threat Assessment with Case Management (BTA) platform. This multidisciplinary, evidence-based system is designed to identify, assess, and manage situations that could potentially escalate to danger or violence. By integrating expert insights and factual data, our platform ensures thorough and proactive threat management, safeguarding against potential crises in a structured and efficient manner.
The origins of Behavioral Threat Assessment trace back to the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), which, after the Columbine tragedy, collaborated with the U.S. Department of Education to study school shootings. Their 2002 report concluded that incidents of targeted violence in schools were rarely impulsive; attackers often planned in advance, exhibiting observable behaviors. This led to the advocacy for applying risk assessment principles in schools and fostering safe climates where students feel empowered to share concerns.

At Secure Passage, we are passionate about public safety, especially in educational settings. Over a decade ago, we launched our first school safety solution, the "Haystax School Safety Center," in Florida. This platform initially focused on managing school asset information and conducting physical security assessments across thousands of schools.
Our Behavioral Threat Assessment (BTA) solution is designed to provide administrators, security directors, mental health professionals, and other assessment team members with the intelligence and insights needed to make evidence-based decisions regarding emerging campus security threats. The platform supports a nationally recognized 'identify-assess-manage' framework, ensuring comprehensive threat management.
