Physical Site Security
A robust site security plan, developed by IDG, is vital for protecting assets and ensuring the safety of personnel.

Site Security Services
Guarding
Our security protocols, both armed and unarmed, ensure the safety of your premises through vigilant monitoring by highly trained security personnel and the implementation of advanced access control systems.
External Environment
We don’t just react to threats; we assess and mitigate risks through continuous evaluations and maintenance, ensuring perimeter integrity with regular testing and vulnerability assessments. Our measures also involve surveillance to detect hostile activities and engagement with the local community to cultivate a robust security culture. We collaborate closely with host nation security authorities to bolster our security stance.
Policies, Plans, and Procedures
Our security framework relies on policies, plans, and procedures, meticulously crafted by us, to handle diverse scenarios. These include structured security plans, emergency communication systems, crisis management protocols, evacuation plans, and business continuity strategies, ensuring readiness to respond effectively to all situations.
Our security strategy revolves around four core principles of protection:
Deter
Make the target unattractive to potential threats through preventive measures.
Detect
We employ a blend of physical and electronic surveillance to identify any intrusion attempts on the site swiftly
Respond
Our trained personnel react promptly, preventing intruders from achieving their objectives
Recover
Following any disruption, we focus on mitigating the potential consequences by resisting damage and swiftly recovering from any disruptions.
Close Protection Services
Even simple tasks like transportation or attending meetings can pose significant risks in high-risk environments. We understand the challenges of conducting business in these areas and provide highly trained security operators for our personalised security details. Our expert team prioritises client safety and ensures a safe environment so individuals can concentrate on continuing their vital work.
Our Approach
We tailor security teams to individual profiles and threat levels, ensuring comprehensive protection. Close protection teams plan and secure every aspect of their principal’s business schedule.
Our standard personal security detail comprises a team of two or three discreet armoured SUVs, managed by experienced drivers and armed or unarmed personal protection officers (depending on the jurisdiction). Vehicles with state-of-the-art communications systems enable the team leader to communicate with the IDG operations room, where real-time secure satellite tracking monitors all vehicles.
We provide additional protection with a security advance party or follow-up team for heightened threats.
Our cohesive teams employ specialised tactics and rehearsed drills on foot or in vehicles. The team leader thoroughly plans all security aspects, including route assessment, venue inspection, and contingency preparation. During meetings or events, the protection officer and team leader accompany clients to provide constant, discreet, hands-on protection.
K9 Protection and Explosive Detection Dogs
We understand the heightened risks of explosive threats in hostile environments. Our clients seek absolute assurance that their facilities, premises, venues, businesses, and aircraft remain free from explosives. One of the ways we provide this peace of mind is by deploying advanced canine units trained to the highest international standards, safeguarding your operational integrity.
Our highly skilled dog handlers, working in tandem with specialised Explosive Detection Dogs (EDD), offer unmatched efficiency in detecting explosives, concealed firearms, and both vehicle- and body-borne Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Unlike any machine or technological advancement, our sniffer dogs demonstrate remarkable speed and accuracy, searching areas four times faster than humans while maintaining superior precision. This blend of expertise and efficiency makes our use of EDDs the optimal choice for your security needs.
Detection dogs are trained to locate a full range of explosives, nitrates, and chlorates, and can locate concealed firearms and ammunition.
