Emergency Response

In the wake of hurricane Maria, Global Guardian pre-positioned personnel and assets in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on behalf of global hospitality clients. Within hours of the storm passing, Global Guardian established satellite communications, secured membership clients’ sites, and continued the evacuation of client personnel and hotel guests.

Tracking Portal

During the November 13, 2015, terrorist attacks in Paris, Global Guardian’s tracking platform identified clients in the vicinity of the attacks and used that information to determine the safety of a majority of a member client’s travelers. Global Guardian’s 24/7 Operations Center contacted the travelers and transported them to safety.

Medical Support

A client in Brazil used her Global Guardian mobile phone application to call Global Guardian’s 24/7 Operations Center to report that she was suffering from pain in her eye. One of our board-certified ER physicians provided a tele-medical consultation, contacted an ophthalmologist nearby, and launched our Brazil team for pickup and transport.

Cyber

A Global Guardian corporate client reported a possible ransomware attack that had paralyzed its infrastructure, resulting in large-scale business disruption. Global Guardian deployed its cyber team within 24 hours to identify the attack, lead the response, containment, and remediation, and build defenses to deter future attacks.

Custom Security

A Global Guardian corporate client was concerned about increasing instability in the Persian Gulf. Global Guardian developed comprehensive shelter-in-place and evacuation plans for multiple offices in the region. In the event of an emergency, Global Guardian’s in-country teams would execute the plan by transporting clients to a safe location.

Medical Evacuation—Air Ambulance

An Air Ambulance member traveling in Kenya was in a car accident. Upon notification, Global Guardian dispatched a team to the hospital, provided a guarantee of payment, translation services, and air medical transport back to Washington, D.C. Through the Air Ambulance membership, the patient paid no out-of-pocket expenses for an evacuation that cost more than $175,000.

Hear from Our Members

“Simply said, Global Guardian makes daily life much easier because the assignments they support us with service our most senior executives and they always get it right. This provides a tremendous amount of confidence and results in executives having a positive perception about the work being done by the security team. Even though the work is being done externally, we consider Global Guardian to be an extension of our team.”

Chief Security Officer, Global Asset Management Firm

“Global Guardian acts as a security department for our company. Without their support, we would likely have to hire full time security professionals. Thanks to Global Guardian's services, we have the peace of mind and capabilities that a security department provides without the cost of staffing a full time department.  Global Guardian, through our membership with them, stands ready to respond to any needs that we have. ”

Chief Security Officer, Fortune-100 Oilfield Services Company

"Thank you to the entire Global Guardian team for evacuating myself and others from Roatán, Honduras amid border closures due to COVID-19. As an American stranded in a foreign land, I am extremely grateful for their support. I have a pre-existing health condition, making it all the more critical for me to return to the states. Global Guardian's help was invaluable. The company was transparent, kept their promises, and frankly at a time of chaos, I felt it was the only one we could trust to keep their word. I will spread the word about Global Guardian and their commitment to their services."

“There are many companies in the security-services space from which to choose, but none matched the level of commitment to personal and professional excellence like Global Guardian. I have been a Global Guardian client for many years and have seen the company grow exponentially while still maintaining a concierge level of service across its offerings. I committed to Global Guardian because I believed in their business model and its leadership’s honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness. Global Guardian has served as a force multiplier for my company through access to its 24/7 Global Operations Center, mobile phone tracking platform, global network of vetted close protection agents and car/driver services, and their Air Ambulance division. I am proud to say that Global Guardian is a security partner of choice.”

Chief Security Officer, Global Energy Company

"Since 2015, Global Guardian’s Operations team has served as a force multiplier for our company. Across the globe, including some very troubling locations, we have used a variety of Global Guardian’s services. Those services include car and driver packages, protective details, and threat intelligence analysis. Each time, the results have been solid. Our employees have also come to trust Global Guardian. When we need to ensure the safety and security of our employees, I have a high level of confidence in Global Guardian’s delivery. I strongly advocate for subscribing to Global Guardian’s Duty of Care Membership."

Head of Security, Global Biopharmaceutical Company

"I contacted the Operations Center to assist with supplying armed security for my wife in Panama, after being victimized in a home invasion that resulted in property damage, theft, and physical harm. From the moment I reached out until we had security boots on the ground, everything was handled in an exemplary fashion. The entire team was extremely efficient and professional, and I will be forever grateful to those who assisted us."

Retired U.S. Army Medical Corps Colonel

"Thanks to the efforts of Dale Buckner and Global Guardian we are safely home from Roatán. We will be talking for quite some time about the team's amazing efforts to rally together to offer this evacuation flight. In what seemed to be an impossible task of getting back home, was so professionally put it into action by Global Guardian, and we are so thankful."
