Protective Services for High Net Worth Clients and Executives Worldwide
Executive protection services pair elite security operators (typically U.S. special operations veterans and former federal agents with extensive private sector security experience) with clients requiring discreet, high-level personal security. These close protection teams are experienced in safeguarding ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), corporate executives, dignitaries, and family members during both routine travel and high-threat scenarios.
Whether traveling domestically or operating in high-risk international environments, skilled EP teams provide route reconnaissance, secure ground transport, residential security, and threat monitoring for every detail of your itinerary. This is a white-glove, low-visibility protection solution trusted by Fortune 500 families and private clients alike.
Preventive Security Measures in High-Risk Kidnapping Zones
Kidnap prevention services are specifically designed for UHNW individuals and families traveling or living in known kidnapping hotspots such as Mexico, Central America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Each protection detail is typically led by former Tier 1 SOF or former federal law enforcement agents who specialize in kidnap risk mitigation, pattern of life disruption, and surveillance detection. These are preemptive protective teams-not reactive ones— and are trained to reduce exposure, reroute travel plans, and coordinate local assets for rapid response if necessary.
Kidnap prevention services are also implemented as protective support during ransom negotiations, high-profile custody disputes, or travel into unstable areas.
Rapid Deployment Rescue Teams for Kidnapping and Human Trafficking
When time is critical and lives are at stake, private hostage rescue operators deliver high-speed, precision action for clients facing imminent or ongoing threats — such as abduction, hostage takings, or human trafficking incidents. [Read More…]
Private hostage rescue teams are highly specialized operators comprised of former Tier 1 special operators with combat-tested rescue capabilities, local knowledge, and intelligence support teams who can coordinate with foreign governments when applicable.
These operations are non-standard and non-permissive and require competent operators who have experience receiving little to no external support to accomplish their mission.
Surveillance, Evidence Collection, and Intelligence Gathering
Private investigators and surveillance professionals provide discreet intelligence support for both domestic and international cases. Whether it’s tracking corporate espionage, stolen assets, or internal threats—competent surveillance teams combine digital forensics, HUMINT sources, and physical surveillance to deliver court-admissible evidence.
Highly skilled private investigators and surveillance agents specialize in complex investigations involving foreign jurisdictions, hostile actors, or hidden assets. These are not average detective operations—advanced investigative teams are drawn from the U.S. intelligence community, elite law enforcement, and special operations forces.
High-Profile Protection for Business Leaders and C-Suite Executives
Executive security details offer customized protective services for business executives, board members, and influential public figures requiring a low-visibility, high-readiness security posture. Whether it’s daily residential security, corporate travel abroad, or event-specific protection, competent executive security operators are typically drawn from elite military and federal agency backgrounds with extensive private-sector experience.
Depending on the client’s risk profile and operational footprint, the right executive security detail may range from a single-agent embed to a full protection team.
Security Leadership and Embedded Advisors for Corporate Resilience
Operational security advisors fill leadership roles including Directors of Security, Chief Security Officers (CSO), or regional security leads—either as contract positions or embedded consultants. These professionals bring decades of experience in standing up protective programs, managing threats across multiple geographies, and coordinating private security infrastructure across verticals like energy, tech, finance, and manufacturing.
They often act as internal force multipliers—ensuring security best practices, travel protocols, executive safety, and global site protection are implemented effectively.
Strategic Risk Advisors for Enterprise Security Planning and Deployment
Professional security consultants are senior-level experts who provide corporate risk assessments, crisis response planning, and security infrastructure design for global enterprises. They’ve led guard force deployments, established SOPs, and advised C-suite stakeholders on critical threat response—from insider threat mitigation to supply chain risk.
These professionals often assist with audits, force structuring, and post-incident analysis for clients navigating high-threat industries or emerging market operations.
Threat Assessments and Penetration Testing for Physical and Digital Vulnerabilities
Security risk assessment teams conduct Risk Threat Vulnerability Assessments (RTVAs) and Penetration Testing (red-teaming) against both physical security infrastructure and cyber attack vectors. These teams identify exploitable gaps, map attack surfaces, and test real-world response protocols across facilities, networks, and executive targets.
This is a vital part of any corporate security risk management program, especially for clients operating in regulated or hostile environments.
Armed or Covert Protection for Corporate Events and High-Profile Venues
Event security teams include licensed close protection specialists trained to secure high-traffic venues such as private summits, concerts, shareholder meetings, sports venues, and international expos.
Adequately securing an event requires both a visible deterrent presence and covert counter-surveillance agents, ensuring layered defense for VIPs, talent, and infrastructure. Services for events are built to be scalable—from single-day events to month-long deployments.
