Who is responsible for embassy security under international law?
Under Article 22 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961), the receiving state has a special duty to take all appropriate steps to protect mission premises. The mission itself remains responsible for internal security, access control, and screening.
Are your officers EU-licensed?
Yes. All officers hold the relevant national security licence in the country of operation. For Dutch operations, that is a Wpbr-compliant arrangement; equivalent regimes apply elsewhere in the EU.
How do you vet personnel for diplomatic sites?
Officers undergo screening that meets both the receiving state's licensing standards and the sending state's documented requirements. Where additional clearance is mandated by the sending state, we work to that standard.
Do you coordinate with host-state law enforcement?
Yes. Coordination with the host-state police service and any specialist diplomatic-protection unit is a routine part of mission-level operations.
Can you cover ambassadorial residences?
Yes — residential coverage for the head of mission and family is a routine extension of mission guarding, coordinated with mission protocols and the diplomatic protective frame.
What about diplomatic events?
Reception, state visit, and protocol-event security with screening, principal movement support, and post-event documentation suitable for the mission's operational record.
How do you handle supplier transition?
We document an operational baseline before takeover, vet the incoming team against sending-state standards, and track the first 90 days against documented incident thresholds. The aim is no degradation of service during handover.
How is the engagement priced?
On engagement scope — site, hours, team size, equipment, and reporting. Diplomatic engagements typically run as documented multi-year contracts with periodic review.
