Risk frame
The threat profile spans low-frequency high-impact events (political demonstration, hostile-state activity, kidnap or hostage of mission staff) and the ongoing operational risk of access control, screening, and event coverage. The mission's operational record will be reviewed when something happens.
Reputational exposure is high: a security incident at an embassy or residence is a diplomatic incident, not just a security one. Suppliers must understand both the security and the protocol dimensions.
Service fit
- Mission and residence guarding. Continuous static guarding for embassy premises and ambassadorial residences with documented operational protocols and audit-ready logs.
- Protocol-event coverage. Reception, state visit, and protocol-event security with screening, principal movement support, and post-event documentation suitable for the mission's record.
- Threat and risk assessment. Periodic written assessments that drive deployment design, escalation thresholds, and review cadence — not assessments that sit on a shelf.
Example case patterns
- Mission re-tender — supplier transition. An embassy facing supplier transition prepared a documented operational baseline, vetted the incoming team against sending-state standards, and tracked the first 90 days against documented incident thresholds. The handover closed on schedule.
- Protocol event with international press. A protocol event with international press attendance ran a multi-day advance, screening protocol, and floor coverage. Post-event documentation supported the mission's reporting requirement without follow-up.
