Priavo Security

Exciting News. We Are Now a Group!   No longer a single entity, we have become The Priavo Security Group, a collective that unites Priavo Security Ltd, Priavo Maritime Inc, and Locate Global Ltd.    This evolution has broadened our capability to deliver client-centric security, combining our expertise in threat mitigation across the corporate, private, and maritime sector. Whilst also encapsulating new exciting ventures, like Priavo Commercial, Priavo Travel and Priavo Yachting. As we reflect on our journey one truth stands out above all: none of this would be possible without the dedication, passion, and resilience of each client, partner, team member and security operative. We are a company that spans many regions, cultures, and perspectives, but what binds us together is a shared and unified purpose - to protect people's fundamental right to feel safe. Every effort and action contributed has helped us move forward. Each milestone we have reached is a testament to the hard work and collaboration of our international team. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to our mission. You, our security network, are not just part of the company’s success; you are at its heart and driving force. Celine, Pete and Riz :) For further information | https://lnkd.in/ea_3BTBn.

Global threats and hazards for business travellers are an ongoing security concern, and It is important to safeguard employees within your care as far as possible. Employers are required to conduct suitable and sufficient risk assessments for employees who conduct routine, overseas or high-risk travel. 1. Educate employees about their destination. Encourage employees to keep themselves informed about the risks of terrorism or social unrest in the country or region they are going to. 2. Research cultural issues before departure. Help employees understand how clients or suppliers in a particular country do business and recognize how their practices and behaviours’ may differ to those in the UK. 3. Encourage employees to take appropriate health precautions. Make sure they access health information prior to travel and are vaccinated accordingly. Ensure your employees are fit to travel, and that any underlying health problems will be facilitated 4. Protect your Documents. Scan or photograph important documents such as driver’s licenses, credit cards and passports as well as specific medical information, as this could be beneficial in case of an emergency. 5. Be aware of internet security and identity fraud. Forewarn employees about using the internet while travelling. Avoid public Wi-Fi and encourage employees to turn on their firewall, keep their operating system up-to-date, avoid online activities that require accessing personal information. 6. Develop a policy for dealing with issues and emergencies. Make sure this policy is clearly communicated and that employees store the appropriate contact numbers in order to access help quickly in an emergency situation, especially ‘out of hours’ contacts.

In the age of digital advancements and cutting-edge technology, threats that once-upon-a-time seemed confined to the world of fiction have now become very real. From covert espionage operations to the growing use of drones in surveillance, and from identity fraud to kidnapping, these dangers lurk in the shadows, targeting individuals and organisations alike. For ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), the stakes are even higher. Wealth, influence, and status make you a prime target for a range of sophisticated threats. But how real are these dangers, and what steps can be taken to mitigate the risks? Find out at https://lnkd.in/emUYtRQJ #security #executiveprotection #cyberthreat #espionage #drones
