Security Resources & Information

The ability to operate worldwide is one of the many ways we help our clients to achieve their business objectives. But what makes us a truly global company is the diversity of our staff and clientele. In addition to serving American businesses that operate at home and abroad, we also work for entrepreneurs, high net worth individuals and corporations from around the world.

Whether in the military, business or protective services, good strategies begin with good understanding of the current situation. Only clear insight into the factors that impact the eventual success of our plans can provide the basis for effective decisions.

Handling a potential threat as early and as far away from the principal is the essence of good security. This not only keeps our clients safe; it also gives them the peace of mind they need to get on with their busy lives. One of the ways that Allied Universal® Executive Protection & Intelligence Services mitigates risks at an early stage is our dedicated team of intelligence analysts. Intelligence forms an integral part of strong security programs. It bolsters EP details, supports secure travel services and reinforces residential protection.

A client once told us “You make traveling easier, so we travel more.” That is the essence of what we want to achieve with our secure travel services.

Security screening is a fact of life – not only in airports, but in all sorts of venues open to the public including government and corporate buildings as well as major sporting and cultural events. Allied Universal® Executive Protection & Intelligence Services provides tailor-made screening services for a number of clients both as standalone services and as integrated components of other protective services. These are usually planned far in advance. In this case, we had only four hours.

While it is easy to imagine some of the way’s intelligence analysts keep clients safe, companies often have a more difficult time envisioning how a specialist intelligence partner can increase their productivity. This case demonstrates how a team of intelligence analysts embedded within a client organization helped a manufacturer solve a problem that involved international vendor relationships and internal personnel changes.

Transform a residential security team from underachieving to best-in-class.

Being a public figure is not all glam and glitz. It sometimes comes with real threats that require a security plan and a skilled close protection team.

Corporate travelers are often accustomed to a greater degree of service – including security service – when they are on the road for the company compared to personal vacations.

But as this case illustrates, sometimes just a little bit of travel intelligence and a single security driver can go a long way in keeping everyone safe while enjoying a family holiday.

As terror attacks and other high-profile crimes continue to occur at hotels around the world, many operators are scrutinizing their security efforts.

Guest security is always the top priority, of course, and a well-trained hotel staff plays a vital role in providing it. But as some hotel operators are discovering, improving security for guests through targeted staff training also means happier, more motivated employees.

While we always recommend that clients’ travel plans include provisions for foreseeable challenges, when trouble hits in the form of a natural disaster or a sudden change in the social climate, our emphasis turns to evacuation.

Speed is of the essence for evacuations, and it is imperative to get an agent in place as soon as possible. Sometimes this takes hours or days. In this case, we made contact in minutes.

International business travel continues to grow. By utilizing our team of security professionals, intelligence analysts and global network of vetted partners, Allied Universal® Executive Protection & Intelligence Services can help companies make the most of their time abroad. A typical overseas trip focuses on customers and subsidiaries. But what happens when a company sets off on a longer tour of a major developing market that involves stops in numerous cities and includes a meeting with the prime minister?

When an entrepreneur taps a gold vein in the burgeoning digital economy, valuations can skyrocket overnight – as can personal wealth and public prominence. And along with increased prominence can come higher threat levels.

When Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands, it was not just another storm. The category five event was one of most intense hurricanes of all time and came right on the heels of another deadly storm, Hurricane Irma. Right after the storm, some of our clients with families and homes in Puerto Rico asked us for help in determining their loved ones’ wellbeing.

Executive protection is often believed to be a service for C-suite executives, but a quality program can be scaled in a moment’s notice to mitigate risks for a principal’s family and close associates as well.

We become so used to constant accessibility to business connections and family members that we organize our lives – and peace of mind – accordingly. So, when national security services insisted that a busy CEO be cut off from communication for several days while attending an important conference, we had to find a way to keep the principal in touch with his business and loved ones.
