DUTY OF CARE CHECK-UP

What does Duty of Care mean for your organisation and how do you integrate it? As an employer, you are morally and legally obliged to ensure a safe working environment for your staff, also when they are outside the workplace. Guardian offers a check-up of your organisation to help you become fully compliant with all relevant aspects of your Duty of Care responsibility. Based on a thorough evaluation of your organisation, we identify potential gaps and help you build a programme to protect your travellers and expats.

LOCAL TRAINING GLOBALLY

The West Bank, Ethiopia, Italy and South Africa were all on the list of places
where our training team delivered courses in 2019. We acknowledge the benefits
of receiving training in the work environment of the participants. Not only does it allow
for more realistic settings – it also enables the participation of locally employed staff.

FULL-SERVICE PROVIDER

We are the preferred security advisor for Nordic media houses because of our ability
to provide a single entry point to the full spectrum of security and crisis management
services. From travellers needing guidance on their planning, to crisis management assistance
for top leadership, we deliver personalised advice from experts in the field.

WE ARE WHERE YOU NEED US

In October 2019, during the height of the Ecuadorian protests, many organisations halted operations
in the country, but the situation made it difficult to leave the country. While the nation was paralysed
by violent protests, Guardian responded on short notice to evacuate a client that was pinned down
by the demonstrations. One of our Close Protection Officers joined the affected persons and managed
– in close coordination with our Copenhagen office – to establish a safe way out of the country,
successfully escorting the client to safety.

RESPONDING TO PIRACY
IN THE GULF OF GUINEA

Off the coast of Nigeria, a ship operated by a European shipping company was attacked
by an armed pirate group. As a result, eight crew members were taken hostage and brought
to mainland Nigeria. Guardian’s crisis responders were called in to support the company
in the negotiations, which ended with a safe and quick release of the crew.

Security Consultancy

Maintaining a secure working environment is a shared responsibility between the employee and the employer. It can be a delicate balancing act. You need someone you can trust, someone who can give you a second opinion or a place to start. We are that someone. The services we can provide you with are based on a dual combination of incisive analytical capability and hardened field experience.

Training

Training is essential before travelling to risk zones. Over 15 years and countless courses, we have developed our security awareness courses for medium- or high-risk areas. Through a skills-based learning approach, our courses equip the participant with a practical toolset to mitigate travel risks and deal with critical situations.
