    A trip to Brazil reverses the principal’s objections to EP

    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.

    A productive trip to Morocco – in the middle of a general strike

    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 emerging markets. In many of these countries, traffic accidents are still a major cause of death and injury, so the elevated risks of the road are one reason to leave the driving to specially trained and vetted professionals. But security knowhow, local knowledge and networks, and cultural and linguistic fluency also combine to facilitate trips to emerging markets in other ways, too.

    Improving the operational readiness of covert protection and surveillance detection teams through a tailor-made field training exercise

    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 of any security team.

    Opening a new subsidiary in the most dangerous city in the world

    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.

    Quantum leap in intelligence analysis capacity within three months

    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.

    Arranging a trip on the fly to a restricted military airport in India

    For our principals, the so-called work/life balance is different than many people. They work a lot, some would say constantly. They have a profound sense of purpose and truly enjoy what they do, so the distinctions between “business and pleasure” are seldom black and white. The incredible productivity of our principals depends not only on good planning or isolated stretches of downtime, but also on an ability to combine days on end of hectic business activity with the capacity to smell the roses along the way. As this case illustrates, good international EP facilitates all of this.
