What we provide

We provide low-profile executive protection for high-visibility individuals in public and private environments. Protection plans are built around the principal’s schedule, exposure level, and movement patterns.

• Armed and unarmed close protection

• Low-profile protection in public environments

• Travel and event-focused protection support

Our teams operate in a manner that preserves normalcy while maintaining full situational control.

Advance operations are the foundation of every executive protection engagement. Before any movement, travel, or public appearance, we conduct protective intelligence and advance planning to identify and mitigate risk prior to exposure. This includes environmental analysis, route planning, and ongoing threat monitoring tailored to the principal’s profile.

• Residential, office, and destination assessments

• Route reconnaissance and secure moment planning

• Protective intelligence gathering and threat monitoring

• Liaison with property management, aviation providers, and relevant authorities

Advance findings directly inform staffing posture, transportation, positioning, and contingency planning, ensuring risk mitigation remains proactive rather than reactive.

The Obsidian Group provides security planning and operational support for domestic and international travel involving high-visibility principals, tight schedules, and frequent movement between venues and cities.

• Advance assessments for venues, hotels, and transportation routes

• Executive protection support during travel and appearances

• Secure ground transportation coordination

The work starts well before the trip launches, with planning focused on travel patterns, venue layouts, and local risk conditions. On the ground, teams adapt security posture to each location while maintaining consistency for the principal. We coordinate with local providers and venues to make sure protection stays seamless as locations change.

The Obsidian Group provides proactive surveillance detection and countermeasure support to identify and disrupt hostile or unwanted surveillance directed toward protected principals.

• Surveillance detection route (SDR) operations

• Pattern-of-life analysis and anomaly identification

• Counter-surveillance and mitigation planning

Operations focus on identifying pre-incident indicators through deliberate movement, observation, and behavioral analysis. When surveillance is detected, teams adjust routes, posture, and protective measures to disrupt hostile intent while preserving discretion and operational continuity for the principal.

Secure transportation is a core part of The Obsidian Group’s protective operations. We provide armored and unarmored vehicles to support movements to, from, and within event environments.

• Armored vehicles are built to recognized ballistic standards

• Unarmored executive sedans and SUVs

• Protective drivers integrated with EP teams

All transportation planning is supported by advance route assessments and live monitoring to remain flexible in dynamic conditions.

The Obsidian Group provides discreet residential and estate security support for principals and families operating within private homes, multi-property estates, and seasonal residences.

• Residential and estate security assessment

• Access control, perimeter monitoring, and response planning

• Armed and unarmed residential security coverage

This capability is shaped by early identification of high-risk areas, movement choke points, and response routes. On-site operations focus on rapid deployment, controlled intervention, and restoring stability with minimal disruption.

We use technology to maintain situational awareness and support informed decision-making throughout operations.

• Everbridge platforms for automated critical alerts, emergency notifications, and coordinated response during incidents

• OSINT collection related to events and principals

• Social media monitoring for emerging risks

This information feeds directly into planning and immediate operational adjustments.
