Protective Program Development

A family with a seasonal residence on Martha’s Vineyard sought to enhance the property’s protective posture ahead of their summer stay. The home regularly hosts extended family and close friends, with staff operating year-round to maintain the estate. While the location offers natural privacy, the combination of seasonal visitors, local events, and public ferry access presented potential vulnerabilities that required discreet but effective mitigation.

Special Event Support

Stockholm, Sweden

Summary

A family hosted a multi-day summer gathering at their lakeside estate,, welcoming guests from both the United States and across Europe. The event included private dinners, outdoor activities, and cultural trips, with over 30 attendees requiring discreet coordination. The family’s priority was to preserve a relaxed, intimate atmosphere while ensuring that all movements, hospitality arrangements, and protective considerations were seamlessly integrated.

Context & Requirements

While the family had trusted staff to manage day-to-day operations, the scale and profile of the gathering created unique demands. International arrivals needed careful scheduling to align with private aviation slots and ground transfers, while local vendors and event staff required discreet oversight. Ensuring that protective measures remained invisible to guests—without compromising security—was a central priority.

Our Approach

Ascot Privé was engaged to design and integrate a comprehensive protective framework covering residential, travel, and event scenarios. Key measures included:

Risk & Vulnerability Assessment — Confidential evaluation of both residences, staff operations, and seasonal activities to identify gaps and exposure points.
Protective Strategy Design — Creation of a tailored strategy combining technology, physical protection, intelligence monitoring, and procedural readiness.
Operational Integration — Discreet staff training in protective awareness, access control, and emergency response.
Event Protection Protocols — Low-visibility close protection and access management for private gatherings and high-profile occasions.
Travel Continuity — Extension of protective coverage and logistical support between the U.S., Europe, and additional destinations.
Vendor & Contractor Oversight — Implementation of strict access protocols and vetting standards for all third parties working across the family’s properties.

Outcome

The gathering concluded without disruption, with all guest movements, estate operations, and events executed exactly as planned. Transfers ran to the minute, vendors operated in complete sync, and every element of the program — from intimate dinners to large-scale celebrations — unfolded seamlessly.

The hosts were able to focus entirely on their guests, confident that all protective, logistical, and operational aspects were handled discreetly in the background. By combining precise logistics with discreet protective measures, Ascot Privé ensured that the occasion was not only secure and private, but also effortless and memorable for all in attendance, and we received a wonderful email from the family for our discreet work.
