Risk today is rarely obvious. It moves quietly, often out of view, and it impacts far more than physical safety. For the families, executives, and private clients we support, reputation, privacy, and day-to-day continuity matter just as much as protection.


At Ascot Privé, our Personal Security & Risk Advisory services are built on decades of experience—not on templates, not on noise, and not on dramatic posturing. Everything we deliver is intentional, intelligence-led, and shaped by specialists who understand both the environment and the people within it.


Quiet Confidence, Built on Experience

Our work has taken us across more than 130 countries—supporting global business leaders, private families, public figures, and other clients who value calm, structured guidance.


Whether in Manhattan, Monaco, Riyadh, or the Maldives, our role remains consistent:


  • Support without disruption

  • Advise with clarity

  • Protect without unnecessary visibility


We don’t believe in heavy presence or unnecessary display.

Effective security should feel natural.

When done properly, it sits in the background—steady, organised, and unfelt by everyone except those who rely on it.


Advisory-Led. Intelligence-Focused. Culturally Aware.

Every engagement begins with understanding—not assumption.


We take a quiet, structured approach to assessing lifestyle, movements, exposure, and priorities. This isn’t about exaggerating threats. It’s about mapping risk in a way that supports freedom, privacy, and confident decision-making.


Our advisory work includes:


  • Residential and estate considerations

  • Travel planning and movement protocols

  • Digital exposure and privacy

  • Reputational and behavioural risk

  • Day-to-day structure and staff alignment


We work closely with private offices, executive assistants, estate managers, legal teams, and trusted staff to ensure nothing is missed and everything has been thought through.


Delivered by True Experts—Not Generalists

The people we deploy are specialists—handpicked professionals with backgrounds in military, government service, global security, and private client operations.


But technical capability is only part of it.


We select personnel based on judgement, discretion, cultural awareness, and personality fit. Our clients need more than a protector—they need someone who understands context, tone, and the environment around them.


Our advisors and operators are:


  • Tactful

  • Discreet

  • Adaptable

  • Experienced

  • Calm under pressure


Their presence adds confidence without drawing attention.


What We Provide

Risk Advisory & Threat Intelligence

Ongoing assessments that support lifestyle, travel, and business decisions.

Crisis Response & Reputation Support

A Strategic Resource for Family Offices and Private Clients

Many of our long-standing relationships are built through private offices and family teams who rely on us not only for protection, but for structured guidance.


We assist with:


  • Hiring and staffing decisions

  • Travel planning and briefings

  • Residential readiness

  • Policy and protocol development

  • Reputation and privacy considerations


We integrate quietly—never overpowering the people already in place, always strengthening the structure around them.


Discretion Is Our Default

In personal security, success is measured by what never becomes an issue.

The risks avoided.

The concerns resolved before they surfaced.

The moments protected without attention.


Our work is designed to stay ahead of exposure—calmly, quietly, and intelligently.


Clients place significant trust in us.

We return that trust by remaining focused on the unseen, staying out of the spotlight, and ensuring the stability and peace of mind they depend on.
