About
Big-chain controls, sized for independent businesses.
Our mission
To help independent restaurants, bars and small businesses keep the money they earn, by closing the gaps where theft and fraud happen and catching problems before they grow.
About the founder
Adam Vass, CFI
Founder and CEO
Adam has spent 20 years in loss prevention, asset protection and fraud investigation. His work has run from store and area leadership in retail to overseeing losses across high-volume airport restaurants and bars, including liquor controls. Today he investigates fraud full time, covering internal theft, merchant fraud, identity fraud and organized retail crime.
He started Five Point Risk Group because independent businesses face the same theft and fraud as the big chains, without a team to catch it. Five Point puts the controls those teams rely on into plain-language tools any owner can use.
