Executive Security Program

Key Objectives

  • Provide a Safe and Secure Environment: Essential for the protection of executives.
  • Clarify Level and Scope: Must be clearly understood by both provider and recipient.
    • Is protection 24/7 or as per executive's desire?

Importance of Senior Executives

  • Senior executives are valuable assets, akin to:
    • Property
    • Information
    • Personnel
    • Reputation

Characteristics of an Effective Security Program

  • Transparency: Security should be in the background, not the main event.
  • Culture Compatibility: Align with the company's culture.
    • Example: A Department of Defense contractor versus a greeting card company.
  • Adaptability: Must adjust to different climates and environments.

Factors Influencing Security Measures

  • Threat Levels: Increase security if a threat is present.
  • Travel Considerations: Security needs can vary based on travel locations.
