The Risk Insight

The Changing Landscape and Evolution of Executive Protection

Episode Summary

Listen to Matt Spring, Director, Protective Solutions, discuss key trends within the executive protection industry with Mo French, SVP Risk Solutions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign and domestic travel has either come to a halt or been drastically reduced. With this, the executive protection industry has had to adapt its services to meet new business requirements. A seismic shift to remote working has seen new security concerns arise, resulting in a growing demand for residential protective services. Organizations have also had time to review and re-evaluate their crisis management plans and duty-of-care obligations in relation to business travel. With secure transportation and private aviation previously only available to c-suite executives, increasing uncertainty over health and safety has seen this also being extended to mid-level employees.
