Security is a System,

not just a Guard.

Terry Guido

Founder & Principal

With a decade in Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and four years in Armed Physical Security Operations, I founded Node Tactical to address recurring gaps across client sites, including inconsistent oversight, incident reporting that do not meet professional standards, and security operations that were not aligned with broader risk management objectives.

Today, I lead a team of armed and unarmed security professionals trained to think like risk managers—not just guards. We go beyond securing your perimeter—we strengthen your overall security posture and help ensure you are prepared for audits, incidents, and real-world threats.

Node Tactical Security Framework (NTSF)

Node Tactical applies a structured security model known as the Node Tactical Security Framework (NTSF), designed to bring discipline and consistency to physical security operations.

The NTSF is aligned with internationally recognized information security and risk management principles, ensuring that physical security is approached with the same rigor as enterprise security programs.

Our framework draws from key concepts found in:

• ISO/IEC 27001 – Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)
• ISO/IEC 27002 – Security control best practices
• ISO 31000 – Risk management principles and frameworks
• NIST SP 800-53 – Security and control frameworks

These principles inform how Node Tactical designs and implements:

• Risk assessments
• Access control strategies
• Incident response procedures
• Security governance practices

The result is a structured, repeatable approach to security that supports prevention, response, and operational continuity.
