Summary
A multi-generational UHNW family with a principal estate in the United States and a secondary residence in Europe. The family frequently hosts high-profile guests and private gatherings, often with complex logistics, and maintains seasonal movement between both properties. Their lifestyle demands seamless security integration, proactive risk mitigation, and discreet coordination across all locations.
Context & Requirements
While the family maintained certain security measures, there was no cohesive, long-term protective program aligned with their lifestyle, privacy priorities, and cross-border movements. The principal estate attracted heightened attention during peak social seasons, requiring a discreet yet effective protective approach that preserved the relaxed atmosphere of family life and hosting — often for high-profile guests.
Outcome
The program delivered:
-
Continuous, discreet protection year-round.
-
Streamlined protocols for both household staff and protective teams.
-
Enhanced privacy safeguards during social seasons and high-profile events.
-
A scalable, adaptable framework ready for future needs and additional properties.
By blending strategic advisory with operational precision, Ascot Privé ensured the family could maintain their lifestyle with confidence, discretion, and readiness — setting a new, uncompromising standard for UHNW residential and travel protection.

-
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.
