We provide secure travel logistics for our clients so they can maintain their productivity and well-being wherever their interests take them. While our managers and agents always train and prepare for the worst, in normal circumstances good planning and procedures allow us to provide our principals with seamless transportation and security that they hardly notice as they move about their day. The November 2015 Paris attacks were anything but normal circumstances, however. As it happens, we were there with …
Our executive protection services depend on up-to-date information to stay abreast of emerging risks to our principals wherever they might travel. So, it’s no wonder we rely on many sources – including our broad network of on the ground eyes, ears and minds – to predict, prevent and mitigate threats to our principals. Indeed, our most comprehensive EP programs have dedicated intelligence analysts as part of the team. But intelligence analysis has a wide range of benefits that are applicable to other …
As an international executive protection company, we go where our clients need to go – and do what it takes to keep them safe, happy and productive. We normally work on either a project basis or through embedded programs in which we place executive protection agents/managers and intelligence analysts within the client organization. But sometimes the client’s needs are so wide-ranging that other solutions are required. In this case, that involved setting up a new subsidiary in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, a …
Fortunately, one of the key outcomes of effective security is altogether unspectacular: nothing happened to the principal, again. Yes, flawless logistics and carefully planned procedures always allow the client to maintain top-notch productivity. But precisely because the protection program works as it should, and the principal is kept far from potential threats, the days and weeks can appear uneventful from a security point of view. This, in turn, can lead to complacency, one of the most serious problems …
Smooth travel logistics is one of the key building blocks of good executive protection. It enables principals to concentrate on the business rather than on the details of getting from A to B. It lets executives pack more meetings and more places into less time. And it always puts productivity front and center without ever compromising security. While the logistical benefits of executive protection are clear even during a routine commute from home to the office, they become even more apparent on trips to …
We’re often approached by security directors who require protection for someone in their C-suite, but the principal wants nothing to do with executive protection. The reasons for such resistance can be many but typically fall into four categories: preconceived, negative notions of intrusive protection; previous bad experiences with EP; a conviction that EP is unnecessary for them; and a belief that it’s too expensive and not worth the cost. In this case, the principal had been provided with protection …
ESTABLISHING THE DECISION CRITERIA Increasingly, corporate boards are considering EP programs for their top executives – and they are asking their chief security officers a number of tough questions. Do we need an EP program for our principals? Which criteria should we use to make the decision? Can we benchmark EP with other companies? If we do decide to mandate it, what should such a program include, and what are our options for setting up the program? Unlike many other corporate decisions, the path to a …
