What Is an Executive Protection Risk Assessment?

 

An executive protection risk assessment is a structured evaluation of threats, vulnerabilities, exposure, and protective options related to a specific person, organization, location, or event. It’s not “generic security advice”—it’s a tailored risk picture that helps you make confident decisions about staffing, access control, travel, workplace protections, and response planning.

 

Threat analysis adds an intelligence-driven layer: we review behaviors, indicators, and context to determine what is credible, likely, and actionable—and what is not—so resources are focused where they matter most.

 

Who Needs Risk Assessment & Threat Analysis?

 

This service is ideal for:

• CEOs, executives, board members, and corporate officers

• Organizations facing layoffs, restructures, or hostile terminations

• Companies receiving threats, harassment, or stalking concerns

• Public-facing leaders dealing with protests, backlash, or media pressure

• Businesses hosting VIP visits, high-profile meetings, or speaking engagements

• Legal teams managing contentious litigation or restraining order situations

• Families of executives seeking residential or travel safety planning

 

Core Components of Our Risk Assessment & Threat Analysis

 

1) Executive Risk & Exposure Profile

We assess the executive’s routines, visibility, and exposure points to understand where risk concentrates.

What this includes:

• Visibility and public presence review

• Routine and movement mapping

• Exposure points (office, parking, travel, venues)

• Role-based risk (decision-making, terminations, litigation)

 

2) Threat Intake & Credibility Evaluation

If there’s a specific concern, we organize the details and evaluate seriousness.

What this includes:

• Threat history and timeline

• Credibility indicators and escalation patterns

• Source context (known/unknown party, motive, access)

• Prior incidents and warning behaviors

 

3) Vulnerability & Gap Assessment

We identify weaknesses in current protection, procedures, and physical environments.

What this includes:

• Workplace vulnerability review

• Residential vulnerability review (if requested)

• Access control and visitor flow assessment

• Policies, procedures, and guardrails evaluation

 

4) Site Surveys & Environmental Risk Review

We analyze the environment where the executive lives, works, or appears.

What this includes:

• Office/campus walkthroughs (as applicable)

• Event/venue layout risk review

• Entry/exit and safe-room considerations

• Parking, arrival, and departure vulnerabilities

 

5) Travel Risk Assessment & Route Planning

We evaluate risk tied to executive movement and travel patterns.

What this includes:

• Travel itinerary risk review

• Route selection and alternate routes

• Hotel/meeting location safety considerations

• Transportation recommendations and contingencies

 

6) Protective Recommendations & Prioritized Action Plan

We translate findings into practical, step-by-step improvements.

What this includes:

• Immediate “quick wins” to reduce risk

• Medium-term procedural upgrades

• Long-term protection strategy options

• Staffing recommendations (when warranted)

 

Deliverables: What You Receive

 

Every engagement is tailored, but clients typically receive:

• A clear risk summary (what matters most, and why)

• Threat and vulnerability findings in plain language

• A prioritized Protection Action Plan

• Recommendations for executive protection posture (low / medium / high profile options)

• Travel and movement guidance (if applicable)

• Workplace safety and termination-risk recommendations (if applicable)

• Optional: briefing for leadership, HR, legal, or event stakeholders

 

Why Risk Assessments Save Money

 

Many organizations overspend on security in the wrong places—or underinvest until an incident forces a costly response. A risk assessment helps you:

• Reduce liability exposure through smarter planning

• Avoid disruptions that impact operations and productivity

• Prevent reputational damage that can cost far more than protection

• Make informed decisions on when protection is necessary (and when it’s not)
