From cyber attacks and insider threats to extreme weather and reputational risk, modern event security requires far more than physical protection on the day.
The latest NCSC advisory may focus on poorly configured routers, but the campaign behind it is far broader. Mark Raeburn explains why organisations must manage cyber, physical, personnel and supplier risk as one connected threat.
For family offices and UHNW families, security risk is no longer confined to the front gate, the family residence or the protection team. Recent public examples show how quickly personal, digital, physical and reputational risk can overlap.
Workplace Investigations help organisations respond fairly and independently to misconduct, bullying, harassment and whistleblowing concerns. A robust investigation protects staff, preserves evidence, supports leadership decisions and reduces wider reputational, legal and governance risk.

Recent reporting has once again brought attention to the Common Travel Area and the security challenges it can create for the United Kingdom.
Close protection is no longer just about visible security. As risks around senior leaders, executives and travelling personnel become more complex, organisations need a more intelligence led approach that connects physical protection with travel risk, cyber awareness and wider resilience planning.
Insider threats come in many forms, from inadvertent actions to deliberate compromise, creating a complex and often overlooked risk for organisations.

Close protection is more than the person beside you. The true strength of any protective operation lies in the intelligence, planning, and contingencies working behind the scenes to keep people safe in complex and fast moving environments.
The new guidance highlights insider risk as an increasing organisational challenge and emphasises the importance of strong leadership oversight, collaboration across departments, and a deeper understanding of people, behaviour, and access to sensitive information to strengthen overall security resilience.
