As terror attacks and other high-profile crimes continue to occur at hotels around the world, many operators are scrutinizing their security efforts.
Guest security is always the top priority, of course, and a well-trained hotel staff plays a vital role in providing it. But as some hotel operators are discovering, improving security for guests through targeted staff training also means happier, more motivated employees.
While we always recommend that clients’ travel plans include provisions for foreseeable challenges, when trouble hits in the form of a natural disaster or a sudden change in the social climate, our emphasis turns to evacuation.

International business travel continues to grow. By utilizing our team of security professionals, intelligence analysts and global network of vetted partners, Allied Universal® Executive Protection & Intelligence Services can help companies make the most of their time abroad.

When Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands, it was not just another storm.

Right after the storm, some of our clients with families and homes in Puerto Rico asked us for help in determining their loved ones’ wellbeing.
Executive protection is often believed to be a service for C-suite executives, but a quality program can be scaled in a moment’s notice to mitigate risks for a principal’s family and close associates as well.
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.
