Why security assessments, audits and surveys are essential for UHNWIs

Due to their business dealings, affluence and public profiles, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, their homes and business premises are increasingly at risk of crimes such as kidnapping, extortion and burglary.

Obviously, things change all the time. Technology improves. The level of threat evolves.

That’s why it’s important to regularly assess the effectiveness of their existing security systems, to ensure compliance and to plug any gaps.

We review security systems and processes, and help look after these very important clients.

Security surveys

Our survey determines what physical security systems and personnel are already in place, and whether it’s all up to scratch.

These assessments include checking the security of premises, such as entry points, alarms and cameras.

Cyber security checks

Cyber security is another area of concern, with fraud, phishing, data breaches and identity theft potentially leading to financial losses and reputational risk.

For that reason, we also do cyber security checks. Many people fail to realise how much their homes and offices are open to misuse by unscrupulous people. The result is weak spots in the security system.

There are steps we can implement to improve the level of their physical, residential, and online protection.

Security team audits

Our audit reveals whether the existing security procedures are up to current standards and if the team are complying with them.

When considering policies and practices, you don’t want a security team that stands out and intimidates people. The security team should blend in unobtrusively unless the principal wants their team to be visible.

We’ll give you the information you need to upgrade the team’s knowledge and real-world behaviours.
