Executive Protection & Risk Management<\/h1>\n

A protection program for business owners and senior executives, scaled to the actual risk and kept low-profile. Where the threat comes from and why is established first; the program follows from that assessment and is run by a team with an investigative background.<\/p>\n

\n
\n When does this apply?<\/span>\n

Risk comes with the position.<\/h2>\n

Risk to a senior executive is not random. It comes from position, decisions, and visibility.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Decision-making authority<\/h3>

Whoever leads a merger, a restructuring, layoffs, or a crisis becomes the target of those decisions.<\/p><\/div>\n

Commercial disputes and threats<\/h3>

A dispute, a former partner, or a competitor. An incoming threat or extortion message points to a specific source.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ongoing critical litigation<\/h3>

Being party to high-stakes litigation or a criminal case creates leverage for pressure and interference.<\/p><\/div>\n

Wealth and visible assets<\/h3>

Public ownership and assets reported in the public domain make the executive an economic target.<\/p><\/div>\n

Public visibility<\/h3>

Media presence, public statements, and a routine that can be tracked online make the executive predictable.<\/p><\/div>\n

High-risk regions and business travel<\/h3>

Time spent in a high-risk region, or travel that is frequent and predictable, widens exposure.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n

If one of these applies to you: let us assess the risk in a confidential conversation \u2192<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n
\n
\n Why proactive<\/span>\n

Risk to an executive is not a personal matter<\/h2>\n

An executive\u2019s position is tied directly to the company\u2019s reputation, its critical decisions, and business continuity. A threat that reaches the executive does not stop there.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

By the time a threat is visible, it is late.<\/h3>\n

Threats against senior executives are rising worldwide. When a threat surfaces, the impact is not confined to the individual: the company\u2019s reputation<\/b>, its operational continuity<\/b>, and the executive\u2019s freedom to decide<\/b> come under pressure at the same time.<\/p>\n

A threat that has become a crisis costs more, draws attention, and allows less control. The program is therefore built before the risk is visible, not during a crisis. The first step is not deploying a team; it is a short, confidential assessment.<\/p>\n

\n First step<\/span>\n

Confidential preliminary assessment<\/h3>\n

The situation is understood before any program is proposed. A short, confidential conversation with no obligation; the real scale of the risk becomes clear.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Elements of the program<\/span>\n

What the executive protection program covers<\/h2>\n

Three elements, weighted by the scale of the risk. The goal is not a visible presence but protection that works without being noticed.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Assessment and intelligence<\/h3>

The source of the threat, what stands behind the hostility, and the executive\u2019s visibility are researched first. The program is designed around that picture.<\/p><\/div>\n

Close protection operations<\/h3>

Close protection coverage proportionate to the risk, low-profile and adapted to the executive\u2019s working and personal routine; continuous or limited to high-risk periods.<\/p><\/div>\n

Travel and events<\/h3>

The same coverage, planned in advance and maintained without a gap during domestic and international travel, meetings, and events.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Where needed, the program also covers the executive\u2019s immediate family. Scope and detail are set in a confidential conversation: let us discuss your situation \u2192<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n
\n
\n A systematic approach<\/span>\n

How the executive protection program is built<\/h2>\n

Five steps. Each has a defined output and one person accountable for it.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
01<\/span>

Program plan<\/h3>

Which element is in place, at what level, and for how long.<\/p><\/div>\n

Crisis protocol<\/h3>

A step-by-step plan that sets out in advance who does what if a threat or incident occurs.<\/p><\/div>\n

A single accountable contact<\/h3>

One named person who holds the decisions and the information, reachable at every stage.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n Prosecure, in brief<\/span>\n

Protection is built by a team that understands the threat.<\/h2>\n

Prosecure\u2019s origins are in investigations and risk advisory. The protection program is run by the same team that can research the source of the risk, which keeps it correctly sized and quiet.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Every program is led by the founder.<\/p>\n

Hasan Alsancak \u2014 Directorate of Intelligence and Anti-Smuggling & Organized Crime, Turkish National Police (1992\u20132006, Superintendent) \u00b7 FBI National Academy, 205th Session \u00b7 operational risk management at the United Nations and global energy companies \u00b7 30+ years, with Prosecure since 2014. He leads the threat assessment himself, builds the program, and remains your single point of contact.<\/p>\n

All information about the executive, the family, and the program goes only to authorized individuals. Confidentiality is fundamental.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Anonymized case examples<\/span>\n

Not every program is the same size.<\/h2>\n

The goal is not the largest setup; it is a program that fits the risk, stays quiet, and remains manageable.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
A quiet program<\/span><\/span>

Low-profile protection for a senior executive during critical litigation<\/h3>

The source of a threatening message was traced to the opposing party in an ongoing commercial dispute. Low-profile coverage and route planning were put in place for the duration of the hearing schedule; when the case concluded, the program was closed out as planned.<\/p><\/div>\n

Proportionate scale<\/span><\/span>

A time-bound program for a CEO during a restructuring<\/h3>

Risk rose temporarily while layoffs were at their peak. Instead of a permanent setup, a program specific to that period was activated; as tension eased, its scope was reduced in stages.<\/p><\/div>\n

Scope limited by duration<\/span><\/span>

Protection limited to a business trip to a high-risk region and a large public event<\/h3>

A country and route assessment was completed before the trip, and venue and attendee planning before the event. Coverage was limited to the trip and the event; no permanent setup was needed.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n

For confidentiality, no individual, company, sector, amount, or country is identified in these examples; the events have been anonymized and summarized.<\/p>\n

\n Frequently asked questions<\/span>\n

What you may want to know before starting<\/h2>\n

Basic questions about the nature, scope, confidentiality, and start of the program.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
What is executive protection?<\/summary>
Executive protection \u2014 also called executive risk management \u2014 is the practice of researching the risk directed at business owners and senior executives, then building a protection program proportionate to that risk and deliberately low-profile. The starting point is not protection but the threat: the question is not how many people are needed, but who the threat comes from and why. Prosecure runs the program with a team that has an investigative background and can research the source of the risk. Protection is the outcome of that assessment.<\/div><\/details>\n
What is the difference between executive protection and close protection?<\/summary>
In practice the two terms describe the same field with different origins: close protection is the British term, executive protection the American one. Where a distinction is drawn, close protection refers to the personal coverage provided by personnel at the executive\u2019s side, while executive protection describes the wider program around it \u2014 threat assessment, travel and event planning, digital visibility, and crisis protocol. Prosecure provides close protection as one element of that program, sized to the assessed risk and kept low-profile.<\/div><\/details>\n
Does the program always mean a permanent protection team?<\/summary>
No. Not every situation calls for the same scope. Sometimes an assessment and route planning are enough; sometimes a program covers only a high-risk period; where necessary, continuous coverage is put in place. Scope follows the risk and is not expanded beyond it.<\/div><\/details>\n
Is the service handled confidentially?<\/summary>
Yes. All information about the executive, the family, and the program goes only to authorized individuals. The program itself is low-profile: the goal is not visible protection but coverage that works without being noticed.<\/div><\/details>\n
Does the company make the request, or the executive?<\/summary>
Both. The request usually comes from the company \u2014 the board, legal, or the risk function \u2014 and executives also come directly. When the company makes the request, scope is discussed with management and the practical details directly with the executive.<\/div><\/details>\n
Does it apply to international travel and events?<\/summary>
Yes. The program is not tied to one location. Country and route assessment covers travel, and advance planning covers meetings and events, so coverage continues without a gap.<\/div><\/details>\n
What does it cost to postpone the program?<\/summary>
Waiting does not reduce risk. Once a threat is visible, the response costs more, draws attention, and allows less control; reputation and freedom to decide come under pressure at the same time. A short, confidential assessment costs far less than managing a situation that has already become a crisis.<\/div><\/details>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
