"True excellence is to plan secretly, to move surreptitiously, to foil the enemy's intentions and balk his schemes, so that at last the day may be won without shedding a drop of blood."

Throughout history certain individuals have attempted to kill, disrupt
or embarrass senior level officials and CEOs out of hate, political
disagreement or simply just because that individual is committing an
act of vengeance. Newcastle Consulting designs executive
security programs to reduce the possibility of corporate executives
falling victim to potentially dangerous or criminal acts and to react
to criminal, labor or terrorist activities directed against the company
and/or its executives. In the reality of today’s situations, any injury
or undue threat to the executive team may have a negative impact on the
company as a whole and possibly its market reputation.

Chief Security Officers in often targeted sectors such as the financial services, pharmaceutical and energy industries, and those with executives based overseas, worry about kidnapping, carjacking, mail-borne explosives, biological agents and eco-terrorism. Our advisors proactively engage the client as well as their security team in properly gauging how to develop their protection and not impose it upon the principal in a manner that will inhibit the principal from performing their duties – whatever they may be. Preparing, planning, strategizing and executing an appropriate and comprehensive Executive Protection program is necessary for ensuring the safety and security of not only the Senior Level officials and that Top Corporate Executives but also the many employees that are employed by the firm that these top executives represent.
Key in Newcastle Consulting’s executive protection plan and advise is the risk assessment. This assessment will be instrumental in determining the degree of risk to which individual executives may be subjected to, including general vulnerability and any specific threats. Organized and focused thinking assist our protection specialists. It is therefore necessary to ensure that our clients understand that executive protection is a thoughtful and thorough effort to minimize the dangers that may be encountered.
In today’s global business environment, there are many types of threats faced by business. All threats require some degree of attention and mitigation. The potential threat to business executives is no less of a threat than any other business threat. High profile executives leading businesses in controversial industries may find themselves potential target to others since they are, or at least they represent, the leadership of that organization and what that organization stands for, and possibly looked upon by some as representing their nation-state. The same may be true of less prominent executives working in controversial industries or businesses who may find themselves at risk. What must be emphasized and understood is that Executive protection is part of any company’s risk management effort. It is therefore important to know what assets are essential to the business.
