Terms of use for the Battle Tested Solutions website
The rules for using the Battle Tested Solutions LLC website, its free security self-assessments, checklists and chat. Effective October 30, 2026. Draft for Greg's review.
Greg Schneider, CPPFounder, Battle Tested Solutions. Certified Protection Professional since 2007
What these terms cover
These terms apply to everyone who uses battletestedsolutions.com, run by Battle Tested Solutions LLC of Santa Clara, California. By using the site you agree to them. How we handle your information is covered in the privacy policy.
Free tools are general information, not an assessment
The house of worship self-assessment, the workplace security self-assessment and the free checklists, such as the Nonprofit Security Grant readiness checklist and the travel security checklist, give general security information. A score from a self-assessment is based only on your own answers. It is not a security assessment, a vulnerability assessment for a grant, or a guarantee that a site is safe.
Only an on-site assessment by Greg Schneider, CPP, looks at your real buildings, people and procedures, such as a security risk assessment or a physical security survey. Use the tools to decide what to ask about, not as a final answer.
Who writes the free tools
Greg Schneider wrote the questions and checklists from his own field work. He has held the Certified Protection Professional (CPP) credential from ASIS International since 2007, served in the Israel Defense Forces on active and reserve duty from 1995 to 2002 and has run Battle Tested Solutions since 2009.

The website chat
The chat is an AI assistant, not a person. It can be wrong or out of date. Do not rely on it for a decision about your safety, and never use it in an emergency. If you face a live threat, call 911 first.
No client relationship until you engage Greg
Reading the site, using a self-assessment, downloading a checklist, using the chat or sending a form does not make you a client. Battle Tested Solutions takes on work only under a written agreement that sets the scope and the fee. To start that conversation, use the contact page or book the free 15 minute call.
Using the site fairly
Please do not try to break into the site, overload it, copy it with automated tools or use the forms or the chat to send spam. Do not submit false information about another person or organization. We may block access for anyone who misuses the site.
Who owns the content
The text, checklists, charts, photos and videos on this site belong to Battle Tested Solutions LLC and Greg Schneider. You may print or share a free checklist for use inside your own organization. Do not resell it, republish it as your own or remove the Battle Tested Solutions name from it.
Links to other websites
Some pages link to outside sites such as FEMA, ASIS International and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. We do not control those sites and their content is not ours to answer for.
Limits of responsibility
The site and its free tools are provided as they are. To the extent the law allows, Battle Tested Solutions LLC is not liable for losses that come from using the site, the self-assessments, the checklists or the chat. Nothing on the site replaces advice given to you in a written engagement.
California law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, where Battle Tested Solutions LLC is based.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we will update this page and the effective date at the top of it.
