Eighteen questions. Four minutes.

Eighteen questions that separate a protective program from a protective presence. A capable program answers all eighteen without preparation. Built for legal, HR, security leadership and the executives they protect.

Your answers stay on your device. Nothing is transmitted, stored or seen by anyone, including us. Close the tab and it is gone. If you want the result, copy or print it before you leave. Answer as the program actually operates today, not as it is designed to operate or as it was described to the board. The most common outcome is a score lower than the person expected.

Nine domains, eighteen questions
01Mandate and documentation
02Licensing and liability
03Advance work
04Medical readiness
05Protective intelligence
06Information exposure
07Doctrine and authority
08Brand and reputation
09Assurance and governance

This scores a protective program: how it is documented, licensed, rehearsed and governed. To score an individual principal's exposure instead, the Exposure Assessment is the right instrument. Many organisations have reason to run both.

Where we would start

    A consultation is a thirty minute call with a Shadow instructor. We walk your profile, tell you plainly which gaps are trainable in-house and which are not, and give you a scope and a timeline. No charge and no obligation.

    This assessment is a structured self-assessment, not an audit, and it does not constitute a security assessment of any specific principal, site or movement. Nothing here is legal advice: licensing, carry authority and insurance requirements vary by state and by whether a team is proprietary or contracted, and every question in the licensing and liability domain should be answered with your own counsel and broker rather than from this page. Domains and thresholds derive from the Shadow Executive Protection Benchmark and from published threat-assessment research, including the U.S. Secret Service Exceptional Case Study Project. Shadow training programs are designed for professional development purposes only and are not intended to satisfy state regulatory requirements for initial private security registration or licensing.

    Know where the gaps are.

    The assessment tells you which domains are short. A scoping call tells you which of them are trainable in-house, and how long each takes to close.
