Train them like it.
The people who will recognize a problem before we do are already on your payroll. Shadow builds protection capability inside your organization: onsite, in your buildings, around your actual exposure, taught by agents who ran Presidential details and still deploy.
Most executive protection training is a school. You send one person to a rural campus for three weeks and they come back with a certificate. We come to you, we build the curriculum after we have assessed your exposure, and we train the whole team that will actually be standing there. Start with an exposure assessment to find out what your team actually needs.
Every program below is a starting structure, not a fixed syllabus. Modules, duration, and scenarios are set against what the assessment finds in your organization.
The foundation. Turns general staff into the earliest layer of your protective posture.
For: Staff, reception, facilities, leadership
Built around threat behavior, not active-shooter theater. Maps to duty-of-care obligations.
For: HR, legal, security, people managers
Secret Service advance methodology, transferred to the team you already employ.
For: In-house security teams and detail leads
A course catalog is a guess about what your organization needs. We find out first, then we build.
Thirty minutes, confidential, no commitment. Who is exposed, what has already happened, and what is keeping you up.
We look at your people, facilities, travel patterns, and public footprint, and identify what training would actually change.
We come to you. Scenarios run in your lobby, your garage, your boardroom, where an incident would actually happen.
Written protocols your team keeps, an annual refresh, and a firm that can deploy within hours if it comes to that.
Schools train full time, and their instructors' last real detail may be a decade old. Shadow has secured more than 500 events across four continents with a zero incident record. The people teaching your team are the people we deploy.
Former U.S. Secret Service Presidential Protective Division. Former USSS Protective Intelligence. Between them, our instructors have protected six U.S. Presidents. This is a roster, not a lineage.
Your people do not disappear for three weeks. We train in your buildings, on your routes, against your real exposure, in two to five days.
Your risk is rarely a motorcade ambush. It is a terminated employee in a lobby, a fixated individual at a shareholder meeting, an executive on a trip nobody advanced. We train for what will actually happen to you.
The doctrine we teach in your conference room is the doctrine we deploy in the field. If the situation exceeds what your team can hold, the same firm mobilizes within hours.

The client did not need a syllabus. They needed their own people to see what their own security team was already seeing.
We built a three-day executive protection program specific to their leadership, their facilities, and their exposure profile, then delivered it at their locations rather than ours. Scenarios were run against their real environments. Protocols were written to their org chart, not a template.
Custom pricing, built to your needs.
Quoted after the scoping call
Because the curriculum is built from your assessment rather than a catalog, so is the price. Scope, duration, participant count, and number of sites all move it, and we would rather quote you accurately than post a number that means nothing until we have seen your exposure.
Multi-site and annual programs are quoted as an engagement rather than per head. Travel is billed separately. Existing Exposure Assessment and Fractional CSO clients start further along, because the assessment work is already done.
We are not an accrediting body and we do not issue credentials that imply we are. Participants complete a documented program and your organization receives written protocols and a record of training, which is what matters for duty-of-care purposes. If individual licensure is your goal, a residential school is the right path and we will tell you so. Our courses are designed for professional development purposes only and are not intended to satisfy state regulatory requirements for initial private security registration or licensing.
Not by default. Most corporate programs are non-kinetic, because the risk your organization actually faces is behavioral. Where an in-house armed team requires range work, we scope it separately with an appropriate facility.
Two to five consecutive days, delivered at your locations. Programs can be split across shifts or run in cohorts so operations continue.
For the program to be worth what it costs, yes. The assessment is what separates a program built for you from a course you could have bought anywhere. For existing Exposure Assessment or Fractional CSO clients, the work is already done.
Yes. Multi-site and multi-country programs are quoted as a single engagement. Operations across four continents are routine for us.
Your team keeps written protocols. Most clients add an annual refresh, and many move to a Fractional CSO arrangement that includes quarterly training. If an incident develops, we can deploy within hours.
Shadow training programs are designed for professional development purposes only. They are not intended to satisfy state regulatory requirements for initial private security registration or licensing. Where individual licensure or a state-mandated credential is required, participants must complete the program prescribed by the relevant state licensing authority.
We will tell you what your team needs to know. Start with a confidential scoping call, or run an exposure assessment first if you are not yet sure what the gap is.
