One of Aronson’s innovations has been the evolution of a business model ASG has dubbed Security Risk Management Services (SRMS), which encompasses the entire lifecycle of a security program. This has entailed expanding the definition of the risk assessment that traditionally anchors the formation of a strategy and plan for the security department to include the operational owners of risk and the performance and role of the security technology architecture.

Aronson has also developed a methodology for implementing SRMS, referred to as the ASG Path to Value, which articulates the steps and metrics in the strategy, planning, implementation and performance management of security’s people, processes and tools that provide security to an enterprise.

Aronson has volunteered his time serving on the board of directors for PSA, the world’s largest cooperative of solution providers. His executives are helping to steer the next generation of the project management discipline, cyber defensibility and advanced integrations. Aronson is on the advisory board for Security Specifiers, the industry’s largest searchable database for consultants, A&Es, manufacturers and integrators, which addresses the need for the physical security industry to more effectively engage with the security specifier community.

In addition, Aronson volunteers his time to the Security Industry Association (SIA), the Door Hardware Institute (DHI) and the International Security Management Association (ISMA). He has also been a member of ASIS for 25 years, and he is a regular speaker on executive panels in their education series, as well as at ISC West and Securing New Ground. Aronson also helped found The Great Conversation, an annual executive risk, resilience and security forum.

Aronson is also a regular columnist with Security magazine.
