SSA not only teaches students how to manage security risks and executive protection, but it practices what it teaches and offers a full range of operational security services world wide.

Executive Protection

In today's world, business may take you to areas that are important for business but less than friendly to you or your people. If your executives are at risk of being kidnapped or assassinated, then you should consider SSA's Executive Protection Services.

SSA's approach to Executive Protection can be summed up in one word: experience. From El Salvador to Beirut to Manila to Thailand to Laos, our protection experience spans the most hostile and uncertain regions of the globe. SSA's record is spotless. Our staff members have successfully provided close protection for heads of state, ambassadors, corporate presidents and other VIPs. Operating on a 24/7 basis, we can provide you, your family and your staff with experienced Protective Agents to insure your physical security against any threat level.

SSA can provide all levels of personnel including Protection Agents, Security Trained Drivers, Shift Leaders and the Agent-in-Charge. Or, if you desire, we can simply augment your existing detail with our personnel to provide that all important pro-active approach, on-the-ground experience and coordination with local authorities.

Investigative Due Diligence

It is a corporate responsibility to insure that you know who your partners really are in a joint business venture. While in some parts of the world it is easy to determine the reputation of a potential partner, in much of the world it is not. SSA's Due Diligence Background Investigations can help protect your investment. This is an especially effective tool for the multi-national company that wants to insure that it is in compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Forewarned is forearmed. SSA can give you the edge you need to protect your investment.

Physical Security Audits and Surveys

Securing a company's assets is one of the more important roles of a company officer. These assets, whether they are real property, finished production items, a laptop computer or the corporate executive are important to the bottom line.

SSA's trained physical security inspectors can determined the adequacy of your current security procedures and technical equipment. Our goal is to maximize your security program while minimizing your budget outlay. Remember, if you want to make sure that your security program is functioning properly you have to have an objective professional security organization conduct a security audit. SSA is your answer.

Evacuation Planning and Execution

Military Coup? Rebellion? Civil Unrest? Natural Disaster? Civil War?

There are times when no matter what you do, the peace and order situation in your area of operations deteriorates to the point where you've got to get yourself and your people out. At the same time, you have to insure that someone is left behind to watch the store and insure, if at all possible, that the company assets are protected.

Hopefully you've planned for it and your security organization has its plan in hand. People are moved quickly to the airport via a secure, pre-planned route. There they are met by a pre-arranged aircraft where they are quickly boarded while their passports and travel documents are cleared through immigration and customs by your assisting security professional. At the same time, a supervised rear guard moves into the vacated houses and company offices to protect them against pillaging by looters. The plane takes off heading to your pre-selected save-haven to wait out the storm. Upon landing, your security professionals help insure that the movement through customs and immigration is again smooth and well coordinated. The situation is then well in hand and the home office is advised that the planning has greatly limited the company's liability.

If you don't have that plan in hand right now and you're serving in a location with the possibility of any of the above events occurring, then SSA is the professional you want. SSA's evacuation planning and execution is the best you can get. We can say that because it has been tested in the real world. One of SSA's clients was the first to leave Jakarta in 1998 due to SSA's Evacuation Plan and the integration of SSA's early warning intelligence program. Barely a week later, companies and embassies that had not properly planned were trying to get their personnel out of the country on overbooked flights to locations where the hotels were full. SSA's client was already safely gone with SSA's security professionals left in place to mind the store. Planning was the key...SSA's planning.

Asset Recovery Service

No private company in the world has more experience in recovering personnel, equipment or other assets from hostile environments than SSA. If your corporate personnel or critical assets have been kidnapped or illegally detained and you have been unable to secure a negotiated release, then you are a candidate for SSA's Asset Recovery Service. Our personnel have participated in hostage and asset recoveries for governments, corporations and private persons. When it comes to "been there, done that," SSA personnel have and will get the job done for you.

Counter Surveillance Services

If your corporate personnel or facilities are being threatened or are likely to become the target of criminal activity, then you should talk to SSA about its Counter Surveillance Services. Some form of surveillance by the terrorist or criminal always precedes a terrorist event or criminal activity. A criminal or terrorist has to know what the patterns are before they can plan their action. By deploying a counter-surveillance team, you are most likely to identify the source of the threat thus allowing you to defend against it.
