Security Consulting

Executive Protection Agents – Our executive protection operations, modeled after U.S. federal law enforcement techniques, are designed for your safety and those closest to you during daily activities, travel and special events at levels tailored to your individual, situational and geographic needs. We go beyond protection with a well-armed staff; we also work to identify and prevent potential incidents before they occur.

Security Drivers – The focus of our security driver program is your personal safety and security and the reputational risk to your organization. Our drivers represent the first line of risk mitigation — they can identify emerging threats and take decisive action to counteract them. Guidepost security drivers also provide you with the ability to maximize your time and productivity while in transit.

Crisis Management/Special Events – We are often called during times of crisis, such as high-risk terminations or for special events, like Board meetings or for IPO’s. Our priority is to provide the right personnel and customized service. We offer a global 24/7/365 multi-lingual emergency hotline for situations at home or overseas that require immediate attention, including physical security threat of breach, disaster recovery, medical/mental health intervention, international medevac transport/evacuation, and other security issues.
