About Paragon Risk Mitigation
Security leaders who have built and run programs inside organizations, now working for yours.
Paragon Risk Mitigation was founded on a simple but important observation: most organizations that need serious security guidance don't have access to it. Today, our team works with organizations across Oklahoma, the surrounding states and nationwide to close that gap.
Large enterprises have full security departments. Everyone else is left figuring it out on their own, often relying on vendors with products to sell. Paragon Risk Mitigation exists to close that gap.

Adam Walker
Adam has spent more than 20 years on the inside of security programs: building them, running them and answering for them when something went wrong.
As Vice President of Safety and Physical Security for a publicly traded technology company, he owned physical security for more than 50 locations across the U.S. At one of the world's largest technology companies, he led security for multiple mission-critical sites. As Director of Security and Risk Management for a public-sector organization, he ran the security program for 26 public-facing facilities. He has also led security for the development of large-scale, mission-critical campuses.
Today he leads every Paragon engagement, including jobsite security programs for one of the largest general contracting and construction firms in the U.S.
