Global Data Risk provides tailored protective and investigative services to the higher-education sector, where universities face increasing challenges from protests, cyber threats, intellectual property theft, and reputational risk. GDR advises on the protection of students, faculty, staff, events, and facilities through advanced protective intelligence, situational awareness, and integrated crisis planning.

The firm’s services include physical-security assessments, open-source protest monitoring, AI-enhanced CCTV surveillance, and executive protection for university leadership. GDR conducts operational reviews of campus police and security programs, designs crisis-communication strategies, and builds partnerships with local law enforcement and emergency services. The firm also provides on-the-ground protective support — including unarmed guards, special police officers, and plain-clothes surveillance during high-risk events such as commencements, demonstrations, and political activities.

Representative engagements include preparing vulnerability assessments for large public universities, advising boards on managing reputational fallout from politically charged protests, and discreetly protecting senior leadership during contentious campus events. By integrating protective intelligence, crisis response, and stakeholder communication, GDR helps universities safeguard safety, protect reputation, and ensure continuity of mission.
