Falcon International has extensive experience in protecting corporate resources worldwide. FI can provide outsourced corporate security and policy packages, or work alongside existing security teams to improve all corporate security procedures.

All types of threats can be minimized from in-depth security audits, risk assessments and Travel security advice to providing a specialized Close Protection team ensuring the personal protection of senior executives, diplomats and employees worldwide.

Surveys can be carried out to examine the effectiveness, or ineffectiveness of a client's current security measures. A survey report can be provided to advise the client or company of any improvements or further measures that can be taken to enhance their security.

Our survey will establish the level of security required. GRI will only provide specialized security once a security assessment has been completed, following extensive consultations with the client or the client's representative. They will be asked to provide as much information as possible, and this will be considered together with our own research.

Our information is gathered from unparalleled sources available only to us. Threats can be wide-ranging - from simple, over-keen public interest, to obsessive stalkers, to kidnapping of family members or a direct attempt against the client's personal safety.

Members of our team are familiar with and experienced in all aspects of global travel. They are equipped to be a liaison with the relevant authorities and to arrange for smooth, safe passage through land, sea and air terminals worldwide.

FI also provides an in-country reconnaissance service whereby, prior to the client traveling, FI would send an advance party to conduct a comprehensive survey of all the routes, accommodations, business locations and environs on the client's itinerary. The peace of mind engendered by such a pre-inspection will enable the client to travel confidently and to conduct business free from any concerns relating to security or personal risk.

Personal security is paramount to individuals and their family

Close protection has become increasingly important for dignitaries, professionals, celebrities and their families, who may be subject to harassment or threats to their security or privacy - at home, in the workplace or while traveling. Only with the comfort derived from a real sense of security can individuals relax and function at full potential.

With many years of experience in this specialized field, we are equipped to afford our clients with close protection of the very highest caliber. FI's operatives are extremely skilled individuals; all have a military background, many having served in Special Forces units throughout the world. They are intensively trained in the disciplines of close protection and weapons handling and have experience in the protection of celebrities, executives and members of royal households.

As a result, they are well versed in corporate and government protocols, and we consider a particularly important asset of our operatives to be their ability to maintain either a high profile or to blend in with their surroundings, as circumstances dictate.

Confidentiality is critical. All our operatives have undergone stringent vetting processes in order to attain top-level security clearance. Also, in adopting full responsibility for all protection measures and by containing sensitive security details within the FI team at all times, we minimize the possibility of information leaks to third parties, thereby reducing the risk of compromise to our clients.

The best residential security cover with the latesr possible inconvenience

FI can provide residential security operatives to protect a client's home and property. On a short or long-term basis a team can be put in place to enhance existing physical and/or electronic security measures.

We can also provide round -the-clock security cover to clients while they are residing in hotel accommodations. In such cases we would, of course, work in close collaboration with the hotel's management and security personnel.

According to an FI survey, two out of three US firms say they lost money last year after falling victim to security breaches. The cost of intrusions was almost double that of the previous year. In today's digital world, a company's electronic assets may hold more value than its physical ones.

Intellectual property and proprietary information stored on a company's computer system can hold the key to commercial success. When a company connects its employees to the outside world via the Internet, enabling them to communicate with vendors, customers, partners and other organizations, it may also be opening its doors to unwanted intruders. Thanks to the Internet, such intruders do not need to break into a company's premises physically in order to obtain valuable information or inflict damage.

Many companies realize that the use of increasingly complex technology comes with risks. However, all too often this is assumed to be solely a technical issue that can be easily overcome by implementing a technical solution. This is not the case. IT security encompasses paper, electronic media, telephone conversations and intellectual property. It involves people, operational and business processes, culture, physical issues and legal and regulatory concerns. Installing a computer network firewall will be ineffective if employees are not educated about the damage that could be caused if they divulge their passwords.

Firms that wish to build secure infrastructures should embrace both the "human" and "technical" dimensions of information security and develop a properly funded strategy to combat security breaches.
