While we have seen many companies with competitive intelligence departments, and while an OPSEC group was mentioned in the movie Duplicity, we have never seen a company with an OPSEC, or counter-intelligence department.

Because counter-intelligence is not a normal part of business training and experience, outside help by experienced practitioners is needed in establishing a functioning OPSEC team.

While the actual effort depends on the number of divisions needing protection for the company in question, the pattern for establishing a corporate counter-intelligence department is fairly predictable.

1. Management Pre - Survey:
   • 2 people for 5 days.
   • Estimated 9 to 5 on site each day, plus an estimated equivalent time after.
   • 1 person 1 month to put together information gathered into final presentation.
   • 1 person 1 day for presentation.
2. Individual site surveys.
   • 3-4 people for a month with an equivalent number of local people.
3. Implementation.
• 1 man year of local staff with consulting and review as needed by client.
