04 — Retained Advisory & Rapid Response
When something breaks, you have someone to call.
Crises don’t wait for business hours, and they don’t come with advance notice. Ground Truth NC provides ongoing retainer support that keeps your organization connected to the statewide intelligence and coordination infrastructure—not just during crises, but in the steady-state work between them.
A retainer with Ground Truth NC means you have a standing relationship with the analytical capability and partner network that other organizations only access when things have already gone wrong.
What this looks like
A standing coordination retainer with direct access to threat briefings and situational updates on your schedule. Rapid-response support during emerging events—the call at 10 PM when something is developing and you need an assessment before the morning. Pre-crisis alignment with ecosystem partners so your organization isn’t scrambling for contacts when it matters most. On-call consultation for organizational security decisions, event risk assessments, and strategic questions that can’t wait for a formal engagement.
Who this is for
Organizations that operate in a sustained threat environment and need more than episodic support. State coalitions, civic anchors, and community organizations whose work requires continuous situational awareness and the ability to respond fast when conditions change.
Need ongoing support, not just a one-time engagement?
Let’s talk about what a retainer looks like for your organization.
