Security assessment and grant readiness
Fund what protects you.
GUARDIAN helps houses of worship and nonprofits find their security gaps, plan the fixes, and build a fundable application for the FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
How GUARDIAN works
GUARDIAN is a secure website your team signs in to. Everything for your security plan and grant application lives in one place, and only people you invite can see it.
Getting NSGP security funding
Step 1
Walk your site
Go area by area on a phone or laptop: entrances, parking, lighting, cameras, classrooms, sanctuary. Answer simple questions, snap photos, and log past incidents. GUARDIAN rates each area and ranks your top risks.
Step 2
Plan the fixes
Each risk becomes a security project, like an access-control door or camera coverage for a parking lot. Add vendor quotes, and GUARDIAN totals your budget and keeps you under FEMA's $200,000 per site limit.
Step 3
Build your application
GUARDIAN lays out all 11 sections of FEMA's Investment Justification with the official character limits. Drafting help pulls from your own findings, and a live score shows how a reviewer would likely rate it. Your SafetySync advisor can comment right in the app.
Step 4
Submit and stay on track
Export to Word or PDF and submit to your state. GUARDIAN emails deadline reminders. If you are funded, it tracks your milestones and records. If not, carry your work into next year instead of starting over.
Managing insider risk
For nonprofits and small businesses that run on trust: the threats that come from people who already have access.
Policy Gap Analyzer
Answer questions about how you screen people, control keys and passwords, and handle concerns. You get a score (Baseline, Elevated, High, or Critical) and a ranked list of what to fix first.
Behavioral Indicator Check
When a leader is worried about a staff member or volunteer, GUARDIAN walks them through documenting what they saw, whether it forms a pattern, and a sensible next step. Confidential and fair to everyone involved.
Why GUARDIAN
Many eligible organizations never apply, and many who do lose points on avoidable mistakes. GUARDIAN is built to close that gap.
Know your score before FEMA does
GUARDIAN scores your application the way FY2026 reviewers do, including the 40-point rubric, the state multiplier for houses of worship and schools, and the first-time applicant bonus. You see weak sections while there is still time to fix them.
Drafting help that knows your building
Generic templates read like everyone else's. GUARDIAN drafts from your own findings, photos, and incident log, so your narrative is specific, credible, and consistent from section to section.
No rejected forms
Official FEMA character limits on every section, and the $200,000 per site and $600,000 per organization caps checked as you build. The mistakes that get applications tossed are caught before you submit.
Never miss a deadline
GUARDIAN knows your state's deadlines and emails your team 30, 14, 7, and 1 day out. After an award, it reminds you before every milestone, so nothing slips.
Survives volunteer turnover
When the person who led your application moves on, the work does not leave with them. Assessments, quotes, drafts, and records stay in your account for the next person and the next cycle.
Ready for an audit
Funded projects come with recordkeeping rules. GUARDIAN tracks milestones and records and exports a complete records package in one click, so you can show your work if anyone asks.
Your advisor, built in
Your SafetySync advisor reviews and comments right inside your application. No emailing Word files back and forth, and no guessing which version is current.
Private by design
Your security weaknesses are sensitive. Each organization's data is walled off from every other, every change is logged, and your information is never used to train any outside system.

No account needed.
