In this blog, we’d like to dig into just one aspect of the new normal in a world with COVID-19: the increasing importance of remote protective security management.

In order to keep our clients safe, happy and productive, executive protection professionals have always had to respond and adapt to major events and trends. As the world now faces the sobering consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak, the executive protection industry will once again have to evolve to stay relevant.

When you work at the office, you take security and many other things for granted. When you work at home, things are different. In addition to doing the regular job, all of a sudden, you’ve got a new side gig as Chief Security Officer, Facilities Manager, and Corporate Canteen Chef, too.

Executive protection will always be physical, but cyber threats must now be an integrated element of risk mitigation, too.

Here is our list of six dysfunctions that are responsible for a lot of trouble in both corporate and high net worth protection.

The executive protection industry is growing. Every year, more people are working in protective security, serving more clients than ever before. Corporations, family offices, and individuals are hiring, too.

It’s time for executive protection professionals to understand what Enterprise Security Risk Management, or “ESRM”, is all about, separate the hype from the helpful, and start integrating the ESRM approach into our protective practices and client relationships.

In this blog, we’d like to raise our ice-filled glass to all the road warriors out there – and take a closer look at what executive protection and secure travel teams can learn from the humble Diet Coke.
