Find the gap
before it finds you.

Three instruments. Same method.

Structured self-assessments that score what you have against what formal investigations found missing. Each returns a gap profile, ranked by distance from full marks, and names what closing each gap actually involves.

Which One Applies

They measure different things. One scores a protective program, one scores an event operation, one scores an individual principal's exposure. Many organizations have reason to run more than one. Answer whichever you pick as it actually operates today, not as it is designed to operate or as it was described to the board.

The Instruments

Pick the one that matches your question.

Each is a structured self-assessment, not an audit. None of them is a substitute for a site visit, and none of them is legal advice.

Assessment 01

Executive Protection Program Assessment

18 Questions · 9 Domains · ~4 Min

Scores how a protective program is documented, licensed, rehearsed and governed. Covers mandate, licensing and liability, advance work, medical readiness, protective intelligence, information exposure, doctrine, brand, and assurance.

Assessment 03

Exposure Assessment

Guided · 3 Domains · ~3 Min

For: Principals, chiefs of staff, family offices

What Happens With The Result

A score is not the point. The order is.

Every instrument ends the same way: the domains you scored lowest, ranked by distance from full marks, each mapped to the specific work that closes it.

Step 01

Answer honestly

The value is entirely in answering as the operation actually runs. The most common outcome is a score lower than the person expected, which is the useful result rather than the disappointing one.

Step 02

Read the gaps

Each weak domain comes with the finding behind it, drawn from published investigations and standards rather than from opinion. Several are cheap to close. A few are not, and we say which.

Step 03

Decide what to build

The ranked list is the agenda for a scoping call. We tell you plainly which gaps are trainable in-house and which are not, and give you a scope and a timeline.

These instruments exist because most protective programs and event operations are assessed only after something has gone wrong, when the findings are written by someone else. Running one on yourself first costs an afternoon. Training is where most of the gaps get closed.

Not sure which one?

Tell us what you are responsible for and we will point you at the right instrument, or tell you that none of them fits and what would.
