Executive protection program
assessment.
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.
Answer as the program actually operates today, not as it is designed to operate or as it was described to the board. The value of this instrument lies entirely in answering it honestly, and the most common outcome is a score lower than the person expected.
This scores a protective program: how it is documented, licensed, rehearsed and governed. To score an event operation instead, use the Event Command Assessment. To score an individual principal's exposure, use the Exposure Assessment.
Where the gaps are, and what closing them involves.
Your score and domain breakdown are above. The full profile adds the finding behind each weak domain, and the order we would work them.
We use this to send your profile and to understand who the instrument is reaching. We will not pass it to anyone else.
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.
