PICA Corporation, a world leader for brand protection, loss prevention, risk management and security consulting services, welcomes Ken Branch as its new Senior Director of Security Consulting. He will be based in the firm's Riverside, California office.

As a certified auditor in ISO 27000 and 28000 security standards, Branch will also be responsible for leading PICA's security assessments of supply networks and he will help companies meet security compliance standards. Branch is a world-renowned expert in the brand protection and security document industries, trained in Security Standards Compliance in CT-PAT, EU-AEO, ISO and Sarbanes-Oxley, among other disciplines.
