EXPERTISEProtective Services

Global Data Risk’s Protective Services practice draws upon the unparalleled experience of senior leaders who served at the highest levels of the U.S. Secret Service. Our team has protected presidents, vice presidents, and foreign heads of state — and now applies that same discipline to safeguard corporate leaders, critical assets, and institutions worldwide.

GDR delivers protection strategies that integrate intelligence, technology, and operations. Our programs extend beyond physical security to include digital exposure, insider threat, and reputational resilience. We tailor each engagement to the client’s risk environment — ensuring safety without compromising privacy or business continuity.

GDR provides executive and event protection, vulnerability assessments, and threat analysis for organizations facing political, cyber, or activist pressures. We deploy countersurveillance teams, conduct open-source and social media monitoring, and deliver early warning intelligence on emerging risks. For the higher education sector, GDR designs integrated programs that address campus protests, IP theft, and threat monitoring — preserving both safety and mission continuity.

GDR’s protective services combine the rigor of Secret Service methodology with private-sector precision, delivering comprehensive security that protects both people and reputation.

CASE STUDIES

Protective ServicesProtective Risk Architecture for High-Net-Worth Individuals

A high-net-worth individual with significant international business exposure and complex geopolitical visibility required comprehensive protective planning spanning multiple jurisdictions and U.S. residential properties.

GDR conducted a holistic risk assessment integrating physical security vulnerabilities, digital exposure pathways, travel patterns, reputational risk indicators, and geopolitical threat modeling. The engagement extended beyond traditional executive protection to incorporate cyber-physical convergence risk, insider access exposure, and reputational targeting analysis.

Residential properties in the United States were evaluated for perimeter integrity, surveillance architecture, access control discipline, and vendor risk. International travel and overseas holdings were assessed against jurisdictional instability indicators and political exposure.

The resulting protective architecture integrated layered deterrence, discreet intelligence monitoring, vetted protective personnel coordination, and structured escalation protocols.

The engagement preserved privacy, minimized public visibility, and strengthened long-term personal security posture while maintaining lifestyle continuity and operational discretion.
