Executive Protection/ Private Client Protection

Today’s global executives and other high-profile individuals are faced with unprecedented corporate and personal risks requiring a higher level of security planning, coordination and management. Ingenium understands that clients require personal protection that does not impede on the protectee’s lifestyle.

Ingenium provides personal, private and corporate protection for individuals and/or property. Our staff of licensed agents can work in the capacity of armed or unarmed service as we provide various levels of protection for our clients.

The Challenges

Many senior executives and business leaders are frequently under-protected in light of the critical value they bring to their organizations and the potential threats to which they inherently become exposed. Similarly, high-net worth individuals often do not fully recognize that their wealth and prominence may expose them and their families as potential targets for criminal acts such as kidnapping, extortion and robbery. The sophistication and determination of potential adversaries who would exploit such exposures of these persons, their organizations or their families is unprecedented. Despite such concerns, many executives and high-net worth individuals are reluctant to engage personal protection services because they want to retain privacy and a lifestyle of free movement. The need for executives and high-net worth individuals to move swiftly and securely throughout today’s global business arena often overburdens the capabilities and resources of most corporate security.

Travel Risk Assessment

Address your travel risks at a pace that suits your needs with a robust assessment designed to minimize the impact of running your business.

Extraordinary events affecting business travel have become all too ordinary — the escalation of terrorism, infectious diseases, natural disasters and even general accidents or incidents. Such events are often beyond your control, yet corporate liability and the responsibility to safeguard employees and assets continue to grow.

Now more than ever, it’s important to reevaluate your perception of travel risk. We command the full range of services, the geographic reach, and the flexible, relationship-based structure and approach necessary to meet your evolving needs for travel safety around the globe.

Ingenium offers a fresh approach to travel risk assessment and a new set of tools to meet today’s operational risk management demands. This includes recommending policies and procedures, providing travel advisories, delivering immediate onsite assistance, and conducting specialized travel awareness training.

Critical Risk Management

The Ingenium Consulting Group Chicago provides security professionals to help our clients understand and treat their security risks. This may be in support of a project, period of change, expansion, or to address a specific security need. Our security design team also helps integrate security measures into daily life in any environment.

Using an industry-leading risk methodology, our consultancy approach is delivered by an experienced and diverse consulting team, supported by our analysts, investigators, instructors and others as needed. For more prolonged projects, Control Risks embeds consultants in client businesses to occupy management, analysis or internal consultancy posts.

Strategic Security Intelligence

Managing the security risks to your business relies upon understanding the key threats as they evolve. Equally, exploiting opportunities in challenging environments is easier when you are prepared for the risks involved. Our expert analyst team helps Ingeniums’ clients to operate effectively and respond to incidents.

Business Continuity and Resilience

Every year, nearly one in five businesses suffers a major interruption. Solid business continuity plans and good crisis preparation prevent such interruptions from becoming business-critical issues that threaten viable operations.

Ingenium takes a thorough, “all hazards” approach that supports the entire business continuity process, enabling our clients to develop robust, repeatable plans. Ingeniums’ consultants work with you to identify the threats and risks you face, and to develop and implement systems and strategies. We set up and train teams to manage crises at all levels in your organization.

Well-designed business continuity plans and crisis management processes will recover the business in an orderly way and within specified time frames. Such plans are critical to ensuring that your essential operations can carry on in the event of an interruption, and that damage to your business’s reputation, employees, assets and commercial viability is kept to a minimum.

Security Design

The Ingenium team helps integrate security measures into building designs from project inception. We work with developers, owners, security directors, architects and constructors to understand their security risks, operational requirements, and design philosophy.

Our approach is aligned with the client’s needs and potential risks. Our designers work in collaboration with expert threat and risk analysts to underpin the design and justify capital investment in security design features.

Terrorist Damage Assessments

There is a strong need today to mitigate the risk from terrorist activity. Political terrorism, indiscriminate extremist activity, direct action or political instability all pose a threat. Businesses need to protect themselves against the impacts: casualties, business interruption, property damage and reputation risks. Ingenium helps clients to understand the risks and the levels of protection that can be achieved. This enables them to take advantage of growth opportunities without affecting security or their duty of care to their staff and the public.
