Good security is light.
It fits the way you live and takes the worry off your mind, because you know your actual threat model, your response is written down and your team has practiced it until it is automatic. More hardware wallets or weapons will not get you there.

Settle your concerns.
At home
On the move
Calls, messages and contacts
When something happens
Choosing a residence
If you are buying or renting after an exit, a funding round or a move to a new country, the address you choose soon sits in registers, delivery systems and customer databases. Of the 304 data leaks on our record, 172 exposed home addresses.
We look at your shortlist with you before you sign: what each place gives away, how easily it can be reached and watched, and what it would take to live there quietly. You choose with the exposure in view, and the home is set up well from the first day.
Discreet relocation
A move is the one chance to reset what strangers know about where you live, whether it follows a sale, a threat, or an old address that has been in too many places. Addresses outlive the people who lived there: in 14 cases on our record the attackers reached the wrong person or the wrong address.
We plan the move with you so the new address reaches only the people who need it, and the old one stops pointing to you.
Residential and perimeter security
Your home's protection has to work while you are in it, at the front door or somewhere else. Of the 224 home invasions on our record, 92 began with a forced entry and 52 with someone using a role the occupants would trust: police, an official, a courier or a worker.
We look at your home the way an outsider would, from the street to the bedroom, and fit the measures to the house and the people who live in it. You know what to change, what to keep, and how your household answers the door.
Vetting household staff
Housekeepers, nannies, drivers and guards see your routines, your guests and often your keys. In 13 cases on our record, someone inside opened the door, handed over a code or a key, or delivered the person to the attackers.
We help you hire with checks that fit each role, decide who needs to know what, and handle departures cleanly. The result is trust you have grounds for, and staff who know their part if something happens.
Safe rooms
A safe room helps only if everyone can reach it in time and knows what to do once inside. It is worth considering for larger homes, remote properties and families with children.
We help you decide whether you need one, where it should be and what it must hold, and we plan how each person gets there. If you already have one, we check it against how your household moves through the day.
Safe travel
Travel puts you in unfamiliar places on schedules that others know: hotels, drivers, organizers and assistants all hold a piece of it.
We prepare your trips with you: where you stay, how you move, what you share and with whom, and what you do when plans change at short notice. You travel on your own terms, with a plan your team and family can follow from home.
Events and conferences
Speakers, panelists and sponsors are announced weeks ahead, with a name, a photo, a city and a time. Of the 452 cases on our record where we know how the person was chosen, 45 began with their public profile as a crypto holder: an executive, a founder, an influencer, someone interviewed or listed as wealthy.
You can keep the stage and lose the predictability around it. We plan with you what gets published and when, and how you arrive, stay and leave.
Defensive driving
Your car follows the same routes at the same times. In 38 cases on our record, the vehicle was blocked, rammed or stopped on the road.
The training covers how to see a setup on the road before it closes, and what you and your driver do if it does. It applies to you at the wheel and to anyone who drives you or your family.
Noticing when you are followed
Someone who watches you first also gives you a chance to see them. In 66 of the 452 cases where we know how the person was chosen, they had been followed, watched or tracked beforehand.
We train you and the people close to you to notice what does not belong and to know what to do next, without turning daily life into a drill.
Unexpected calls and emails
The message meant to move money can reach you, your assistant, your finance team or your family, with urgency and a familiar name attached. The FBI counted $2.77 billion in losses from business email compromise in 2024, the second-largest category by losses in its report.
We set clear rules with you and your team for unexpected and urgent requests, so that no single message can move money or open a door.
Cloned voices and faces
A familiar voice or face is no longer proof of who is on the line. In a 2025 study, listeners took a cloned voice for the real person about 80% of the time, and in July 2026 the FBI warned that scammers generate videos for real-time chats with people posing as company executives and officials.
You and the people who could be impersonated agree in advance how a real request is confirmed. When the call comes, nobody has to judge whether the voice sounds right.
Opportunities and invitations
An investment pitch, a partnership meeting, a job offer, a dinner or a date can bring someone to a chosen place at a chosen time. In 131 cases on our record the person was drawn in by a pretext, 38 of them by a business or investment meeting.
We help you check an offer before you accept it and set up first meetings on your terms. You stay open to new opportunities and decide where and how you meet.
Verifying new contacts
If meeting new people is part of your work, so is deciding whom to trust. Of the cases where we know how the person was chosen, 206 of 452 began with a business counterparty or with an online contact or ad.
We show you how to learn enough about a new contact before you meet, share more only as trust is earned, and notice when a relationship is being steered toward money or a meeting place.
Vetting staff
Employees, contractors and service providers know schedules, holdings and access. In 36 of the 452 cases where we know how the person was chosen, someone with inside access passed on information or used that access against them.
We help you decide who needs which information and build checks into hiring, access and departures. Your team keeps the access its work requires, and no single person holds the whole picture.
Extortion and ransom demands
Extortion can arrive as a message, a visit, or a demand made after someone close to you has been taken.
Who answers, who decides and whom you call are settled before any threat arrives. We set this up with you and the people around you, so the first reply follows a plan.
Continuity of operations
Sooner or later you might be out of reach: traveling or in the hospital. Then someone else has to sign, approve payments and speak for the company.
We work out with you and your leadership who decides what, within which limits, and how a real instruction from you is recognized. The company keeps running, and pressure on one person does not move it.
Emergency response
In an emergency, people do what they have practiced.
We build the response with you: who raises the alarm, how help finds you, and what everyone else does in the meantime. Then we practice it until it holds under stress.
Home invasion
Home invasions make up 224 of the 841 cases on our record, and in 2026 they overtook kidnapping.
We help you make your home harder to get into, and make sure everyone in it, children and staff included, knows what to do in the first minutes. We work out the plan with you for your home and your family, and rehearse it with the people who will use it.
Kidnapping response
Kidnapping is the most frequent type of case on our record overall. The person taken may be you or someone in your family, and the demand is a ransom or a transfer of your funds.
We help you make a kidnapping harder to plan against you, and rehearse with you and your family what happens if it does. What you do yourself, if you are the one taken, is part of the training.
Safe houses
Sometimes the right move is to leave for a while: after a threat, during unrest, or when your address has been exposed. A safe house is a place to go that is ready before you need it.
We help you choose the place, decide who knows about it and how you get there unnoticed, and keep it ready without drawing attention.

Session 2 Operational securityDigital and physical habits for your devices, accounts, home, car and travel. You learn to notice surveillance and to confirm who you are dealing with, cloned voices and faces on video included. A 30-day plan closes your biggest gaps first.
Does everyone know who does what?
Session 3 Protocol designWho acts, what they do and whom they call, written down with you for your leadership and family members. That includes who decides and signs for the company when a key person is unreachable. Each protocol fits the security you already have and is tested on realistic scenarios.
Will your plan hold under stress?
Session 4 Response practiceThe first 60 seconds of an incident, communication during a crisis and recovery afterwards, practiced until the response runs without thinking.
