Risk Management
Our five-step risk management plan protocols are the following key elements.
Risk Management
Here are our five risk management strategies for close protection services provided by Saxon Risk Management:
1. Threat Assessment: Conduct thorough assessments to identify potential threats to the client's safety and security. This includes evaluating the client's profile, assessing their surroundings, and analysing potential risks they may encounter.
2. Security Planning: Develop comprehensive security plans tailored to the client's specific needs and circumstances. This may include establishing secure travel routes, implementing access control measures, and coordinating with local authorities for additional support if needed.
3. Training and Preparedness: Ensure that close protection personnel are adequately trained and prepared to respond effectively to any security threats or emergencies. This includes providing ongoing training in defensive driving, first aid, crisis management, and other relevant skills.
4. Communication and Coordination: Establish clear lines of communication and coordination among close protection team members, as well as with the client and other stakeholders. This facilitates efficient information sharing and enables swift responses to changing security situations.
5. Continuous Evaluation and Adaptation: Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of security measures and adjust strategies as necessary to address evolving threats and vulnerabilities. This may involve conducting security audits, debriefing after security incidents, and implementing lessons learned to enhance future operations.
Saxon Risk Management's soft skills protocols
1. Soft Skills: Soft skills refer to a set of interpersonal attributes and qualities that enable individuals to interact effectively with others and navigate social situations. Saxon Risk Management places a strong emphasis on soft skills among its personnel to ensure high-quality service delivery and client satisfaction.
Key soft skills emphasised by Saxon Risk Management include communication, empathy, adaptability, problem-solving, professionalism, cultural awareness, and conflict resolution.
These skills are essential for close protection agents to establish trust and rapport with clients, effectively assess risks, manage challenging situations, and always maintain a discreet and professional demeanour.
Saxon Risk Management's Gray man protocols
2. Gray Man Protocols: Gray man protocols are strategies and techniques employed by security professionals to blend into their surroundings and avoid drawing attention to themselves while maintaining a vigilant posture.
The concept of the "Gray man" originates from the military and espionage context, where operatives aim to operate discreetly and inconspicuously in hostile environments.
Saxon Risk Management's Gray man protocols involve training personnel to adopt a low-profile demeanour, dress inconspicuously, and behave in a manner that avoids attracting undue attention.
Gray man protocols also include strategies for minimising the use of overt security measures, such as avoiding conspicuous weapons or conspicuous protective gear, to maintain a low profile while still ensuring the safety and security of clients.
These protocols are particularly valuable in situations where maintaining a low profile is critical for the success of protection operations, such as in high-risk or sensitive environments where overt security measures may draw unwanted attention or escalate tensions.
By integrating soft skills and Gray man protocols into its operations, Saxon Risk Management aims to provide discreet, effective, and client-focused security solutions tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each client.
