Executive security / Assessment scoping
Prepare a clear brief for an executive-security review. Select the activities in scope and the evidence available, then receive a prioritised set of questions, responsibilities and verification steps.
01 / Define the review
Mark “documented and exercised” only when you can identify the relevant record and a recent exercise appropriate to your operating context. An unknown remains an open item.
02 / Commission the right work
Your scope will change with the activities selected. It will identify the records to request, who should own each decision and how to verify the stated controls. There is no numerical threat score.
This tool applies DSDillon’s stated scoping rules to broad answers. It does not investigate people, assess a specific threat, predict violence or certify that a programme is effective. No checklist total can replace current information and qualified judgment.
The wider article explains how to distinguish a threat, exposure, vulnerability and consequence, and how to commission a review that leads to a documented decision.
The tool structures an advisory brief around activities, movement, locations, information, known concerns and current safeguards. It does not investigate a person, predict violence, assign a threat level or replace emergency services, law enforcement, licensed protective personnel or medical professionals.
Protection planning begins with the executive duty, event, movement or organizational responsibility that could be disrupted. The consequence of interruption helps determine what evidence and coordination deserve attention without turning status alone into a risk rating.
Public visibility, predictable routines, travel, unfamiliar venues and information leakage can increase exposure. A specific threat requires its own current evidence and appropriate authority. The scoping tool keeps those concepts separate so broad concern is not presented as a verified threat.
Executives, assistants, drivers, venue teams, corporate security, law enforcement and specialist providers may control different decisions. The assessment should identify who can change an itinerary, who holds sensitive information, who receives an alert and who owns escalation.
A recommendation needs a way to confirm that roles, communications, access or contingency arrangements actually work. Sensitive routes, schedules, vulnerabilities and live protective details should remain restricted to authorized recipients with a legitimate operational need.
Role, activities, travel, venues, public contact and business responsibilities relevant to the advisory scope.
Existing staffing, communications, access procedures, movement arrangements and contingency responsibilities.
Documented incidents, credible reports or organizational concerns supplied through appropriate channels.
The people authorized to approve changes, escalate issues and coordinate with emergency or public authorities.
No. Protective measures should be proportionate to verified conditions, responsibilities and legal requirements.
No. Specific threat investigation requires current evidence and qualified authorities or specialists acting within their legal role.
Use the appropriate local emergency or law-enforcement channel. A consultancy assessment is not an emergency response service.
Provide the operating context and material concerns through an appropriate confidential channel. Do not publish routes, schedules, credentials or sensitive protective details in a public form.
