"…Parrett accomplishes what many have attempted to do but failed: making the pragmatic case for risk-based integrated security as a prerequisite for growth in a global environment. He lays out an organizational roadmap worthy of consideration. This book should be a required read for CEOs, CSOs, or anyone who aspires to such a position." (Security Management, June 2008)

"Parrett..executive member..addresses a timely topic: how companies can respond to globalization and terrorism by incorporating security and risk management into their strategic planning." (Choice, November 2007)

"...it's a thought-provoking read."  (CA Magazine, November 2007)

"Bill Parrett had done a formidable job of articulating the goal we have set for ourselves, and I can unreservedly call his book brilliant." (WorldAffairsMonthly.com; 8/2007)
