Meet Ascot Privé

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.

Summary

A private family based in The Hamptons engaged Ascot Privé to design and implement a comprehensive protective program spanning their principal estate in New York, as well as international residences in Europe and the Caribbean. With frequent travel, rotating guests, and a staff-heavy environment, the family sought a long-term framework to bring consistency, discretion, and elevated protective oversight across home life and movement — without compromising comfort or routine.

Context & Requirements

The estate saw daily movement involving drivers, tutors, household staff, vendors, and frequent visitors — many of whom operated informally without structured oversight. While select security measures were in place, there was no cohesive protective strategy uniting the primary estate, international homes, and global travel routines. The principal expressed concern about predictability, privacy erosion, and access control, especially during periods of travel or high guest activity. The family needed discreet, embedded support that could harmonize residence protection, enhance staff readiness, and provide trusted oversight during travel.

Outcome

Ascot Privé conducted a full assessment of the estate and surrounding property, followed by program development tailored to the family’s lifestyle and travel rhythm. An embedded protection advisor was assigned to oversee estate operations, implement protocols, and serve as the daily liaison between domestic staff, drivers, and external providers. Key enhancements included access validation, visitor flow management, travel scheduling oversight, and real-time coordination between properties.

Internationally, Ascot Privé established protocols and on-call protective support across the family’s overseas homes and travel routes — ensuring consistent standards regardless of location. By delivering a structured yet unobtrusive framework across residence and movement, Ascot Privé enabled the family to operate with greater trust, awareness, and continuity — at home, abroad, and everywhere in between.
