There is a lot of confusion surrounding liability and legal compliance issues concerning private security services, including the protective services relevant for high net worth families. The problems are complex, and there are plenty of gray areas open to interpretation. The laws that impact non-governmental security services all vary considerably from country to country and even within one country.

Both feelings and facts influence our sense of security. Sometimes we have a hard time distinguishing between the two because we feel first and think later. If we ever get around to thinking about security, then inexperience and a host of preconceived notions can all combine to cloud our view and lead to poor decisions. In this blog, we take a look at what high net worth families, and any other family, really, can do about it to make better fact-based decisions about their security needs. The process …
In this blog, we take a look at the missing link of executive travel: secure ground transportation that’s at as high a level as first or business class flights and five-star hotels. Many companies happily pay for first/business class flights or even private aviation to get their top executives where they’re going, then put them up at five-star hotels when they reach their destinations. These standard travel practices are key to keeping execs productive, safe and relatively happy no matter where their …
In this blog, we introduce the four foundational elements of protection for high net worth individuals and families: Physical security, technology, people and procedures. Our goal is to provide an overview of these four main elements, not an exhaustive description of each. Rather, we hope to point to how the various components of protective security are interrelated, and that by better understanding how these components work with and impact each other, families will be better able to achieve the kind of …
Many aspiring executive protection agents ask, “How can I get better at my game and improve my professional opportunities?” There’s no simple answer, and it all takes work. The good news is you can start by making better use of downtime. We know we’re all way too busy, but every executive protection agent has at least some downtime, some time. This includes in-house and outsourced FTEs, and folks working both executive protection and residential details. You might be waiting for the principal to finish up …
When it’s your responsibility to keep people safe on the road, you really want to know what’s coming around the next curve. That’s why advance work is such a fundamental part of what we do, and that’s why travel intelligence – before, during and after a trip – is so critical to program success. Before the trip Before the detail starts, we’re doing advance work. In some cases, we’ll be in the country personally to do the advance. In others, we’ll be doing desk research from afar. We’re busy and under time …

When technology is not allowed, our executive protection agents and GSOC close the communication gap
We become so used to constant accessibility to business connections and family members that we organize our lives – and peace of mind – accordingly. So, when national security services insisted that a busy CEO be cut off from communication for several days while attending an important conference, we had to find a way to keep the principal in touch with his business and loved ones. The challenge: Communicating from within a venue where the security staff jams all communication devices When one of our …
