Executive Protection Services
Our executive protection specialists have ensured the safety of hundreds of at-risk individuals in the State of Florida since 1992.
Over the past 28 years, CIS has earned a reputation as the gold standard for executive protection services in the Tampa, Orlando, and South Florida regions.
In today’s complex society, threats to personal safety can emerge in unforeseen and unpredictable ways. And when life, livelihood, and/or reputation are at risk, there is no room for error. The level of stakes demands the assistance of experienced professionals.
Since 1992, our executive protection specialists have ensured the safety of hundreds of at-risk individuals in the State of Florida including corporate executives, attorneys, wealthy families, sports celebrities, movie stars, media personalities, and political figures.
In addition to protecting those at-risk by virtue of status, we also aid individuals in managing potentially-dangerous situations including:
- Stalking and domestic violence cases
- Threats posed by menacing employees in the aftermath of termination
- Labor disputes and workforce layoffs
Executive protection services customized to the unique needs of the situation
Just as no two humans share identical DNA, no two people are identical in risk profile and personal characteristics. In this respect, executive protection services are both an art and science about security.
Honoring this truth, we customize our approach to account for unique characteristics of ourclient’s professional activities, lifestyle, family, and similar factors.
To ensure our protective methods are best adapted to the situation, every project initiates with an assessment of the client’s personal lifestyle and risk situation. This results in a custom protective approach which effectively reduces risk of harm, while simultaneously advancing the needs of the client’s professional and personal situation.
