Services

Six areas. Eight engagements. All of them fixed.

Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed turnaround, in writing before any work starts. Price depends on the destination, the threat environment and how much already exists, so it is quoted after a scope call.

Executive Protection & Protective Security

Executive Protection Programme Review

An independent read of an existing protection programme: the team, the standards, the procedures and the spend. I am not a manpower supplier, so the review is not a route to selling you people. The review grades the programme as it operates today, and states the gap against the standard the threat requires.

Best for

Principals, family offices and corporates already funding a protection team who want an honest read on it.

What you receive

Programme structure, mandate and decision rights reviewed
Team selection, training and performance standards assessed
Operating procedures and drills tested against realistic scenarios
Protective intelligence and advance work capability graded
Security driver standards and vehicle procedures reviewed
Prioritised findings, each with effort, cost and risk reduction stated

Security Risk Consultancy

Security Risk Assessment

An ISO 31000 assessment of a site, an operation or an event. Threat, vulnerability and impact are assessed separately, then scored on a five by five matrix so two assessments can be compared. Every finding carries a treatment, an owner and a stated residual risk.

Best for

Any organisation that has been told it has a risk register but cannot show how the scores were reached.

What you receive

Threat assessment against the specific asset, site or activity
Vulnerability assessment and security survey
Five by five risk register with scored likelihood and impact
Treatment options with cost and residual risk stated
Prioritised recommendations with named owners
One-page board summary behind the detail

What you receive

Site and residential survey, layered from approach to core

Any movement of a principal or team where the ground is unfamiliar or the exposure is real.

What you receive

Journey management plan with primary and alternate routes
Route reconnaissance and advance planning

Contingencies, abort criteria and safe haven identification
Contact tree and escalation path

Crisis Readiness Review

Practical crisis readiness, kept deliberately at the level a business can actually run. I test the thresholds, the escalation path and the people against a realistic scenario, then name the fixes in an after-action report you can act on the same week.

Leadership teams holding a crisis plan nobody has ever stress-tested.

What you receive

Crisis definitions, thresholds and escalation logic reviewed
Authority and decision rights mapped
Senior tabletop exercise with timed injects

Questions

The ones that come up every time.

What does it cost?

Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before anything starts. Price depends on the destination, the threat environment and how much of the work already exists, so it is quoted after a 30-minute scope call.

How quickly can you turn work around?

A destination threat assessment is 48 hours as standard. A travel risk management plan depends on scope and environment, and you get the date on the scope call, not after you commit.

We already use a security vendor. Where do you fit?

Usually on your side of the table. A good deal of my work is independent challenge of providers a client already pays for. Are the standards real, is the assurance evidenced, is the spend proportionate.

Do you provide close protection teams?

I design, scope and oversee protective programmes and hold vendors to a standard. I am not a manpower supplier, and staying independent of the guarding spend is what makes the oversight worth having.

Why does a security consultancy run school and community sessions?

Situational awareness, personal safety, online exposure and knife crime avoidance are decision skills. They are better taught by someone who has had to make those decisions. It runs alongside the corporate work.

Is this only for high-threat markets?

No. Much of it is unglamorous exposure in ordinary places. Nobody owning travel risk, no escalation path, no idea who decides at two in the morning. That is usually cheaper to fix than to survive.

Next step

Tell me the trip, the executive, or the gap.

Thirty minutes on a call and you will have a fixed scope and a fixed price, or an honest answer that you do not need this yet.
