Independent veteran-led security organisation Worldwide Clearance-first

Worldwide Global deployments 全球部署

Across borders. Within the law.

Our specialists deploy wherever people and projects need protection — but only where the law allows, only as licensed, and only under rules written before anyone travels. Here is how that works in practice.

G-01 Cross-border operating principles

Four rules that travel with every specialist.

  1. 01

    Host law is supreme

    Every deployment is structured around the laws of the country where the work takes place: licensing, immigration, labour, firearms and data protection. Where the law does not allow a service, we do not offer it.

  2. 02

    Home obligations are respected

    Specialists continue to honour the guidelines of the government that recruited and trained them — including confidentiality and any travel or employment restrictions — for as long as they apply.

  3. 03

    Local people, local partners

    Wherever practical we work alongside licensed local security companies and hire and train local staff, so that capability stays in the community after we leave.

  4. 04

    Neutral, protective, non-combatant

    We never take part in hostilities, never take sides in political or armed conflicts, and never accept assignments whose purpose is anything other than protection.

G-02 The international rulebook

The documents behind every deployment.

Responsible private security is shaped by a small library of international texts. These are the ones our contracts, training and after-action reviews refer to most often.

  • 2008

    Montreux Document

    Launched by Switzerland and the ICRC and first endorsed by 17 states including China, it restates the international legal obligations that apply to private military and security companies in armed conflict.

  • 2010

    International Code of Conduct

    The ICoC sets human-rights-based standards for private security providers; the ICoC Association, founded in 2013, oversees certification and complaints.

  • 2011

    UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights

    The “Protect, Respect and Remedy” framework that defines companies’ responsibility to respect human rights wherever they operate.

  • 2015

    ISO 18788

    A management-system standard for private security operations, requiring documented risk assessment, training, use-of-force rules and incident management.

  • 2000

    Voluntary Principles on Security & Human Rights

    Guidance for extractive companies on working with public and private security while respecting local communities.

  • Local

    Host-country licensing

    National regimes such as China’s Regulations on the Administration of Security Services (2009), India’s PSARA 2005, the UK’s SIA licensing or Dubai’s SIRA approvals.

G-03 Regional briefings

Six regions, six different sets of needs.

Reference coordinates mark regional hubs of activity, not office addresses. Specialists are matched to regions by language, climate experience and licensing eligibility.

R101.35°N 103.82°E

Asia-Pacific

Dense trading cities, busy ports and fast-growing industrial corridors. Demand centres on executive protection, corporate travel, port and logistics security and security-force training.

Valued: Mandarin, English, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese

R225.20°N 55.27°E

Middle East & Gulf

Global business hubs hosting summits, delegations and major events alongside energy infrastructure. Work includes dignitary movement, event security and energy-sector advisory under strict local approval regimes.

Valued: Arabic, English, Mandarin

R301.29°S 36.82°E

Africa

Infrastructure, mining and construction projects often in remote locations. Priorities are workforce safety, site security design, community liaison, and crisis and evacuation planning.

Valued: English, French, Swahili, Portuguese

R443.24°N 76.89°E

Central Asia

Long transport and energy corridors crossing mountains and steppe. High-altitude and cold-weather experience matters, as does careful coordination with national authorities.

Valued: Russian, Kazakh, Uzbek, Mandarin

R546.20°N 06.14°E

Europe

Highly regulated markets where licensing is demanding. Work focuses on advisory, training, compliance and close protection for visiting delegations through licensed local partners.

Valued: English, German, French, Mandarin

R623.55°S 46.63°W

Latin America

Major commercial cities with significant personal-security concerns. Demand for executive travel security, risk assessment and self-defence instruction for staff and families.

Valued: Spanish, Portuguese, English

G-04 Deployment lifecycle

Thirty days of preparation for every day on the ground.

Timelines vary with urgency and licensing, but every deployment passes through the same five phases. Indicative day markers show a typical planned assignment.

  1. D-30

    Request & assessment

    Consultation, scope and a written threat and risk assessment.

  2. D-21

    Licensing & compliance

    Host-country licences, visas, insurance and a legal review of the use-of-force policy.

  3. D-10

    Team & briefing

    Specialists matched by skills, language and region; cultural and legal briefing signed.

  4. D-0

    Deployment & reporting

    Operations begin with daily or weekly reports to the client and our operations lead.

  5. D+

    Demobilisation & review

    Handover, after-action review, lessons learned and recommendations.

G-05 Multinational by design

Mixed teams. One standard.

Protective work abroad is rarely done by one nationality alone. A detail in the Gulf may combine our specialists with a licensed local partner, a driver from the host country and a client’s in-house security manager. Success depends on a common operating language, common procedures and mutual respect.

Many PLA veterans have experience of exactly this: multinational exercises, UN peacekeeping deployments and joint training with partner armies. We build on it through language training, cross-cultural briefings and joint rehearsals with local partners before any assignment begins.

  • Joint rehearsals with local licensed partners
  • Common radio procedures and reporting formats
  • Cross-cultural and etiquette briefings
  • Working-language requirements per region

G-06 How it looks in practice

Three illustrative scenarios.

Please note: these are illustrative scenarios written to explain our approach. They are not descriptions of real clients or real assignments, and names and places are deliberately general.

Illustrative scenario A

A remote construction site

An infrastructure company is building a facility several hours from the nearest city and is concerned about workforce safety and theft.

Assessment
Risks are mainly petty theft, road accidents and medical emergencies — not violence.
Response
Site access redesign, local guard-force training, a medical evacuation plan and a community liaison forum.
Result
A safer site delivered largely by trained local staff, with a small advisory presence.
Illustrative scenario B

A delegation’s city visit

A business delegation is visiting a major Gulf city for a three-day summit with public events.

Assessment
Main risks are crowd congestion, traffic delays and opportunistic crime.
Response
Advance surveys of venues and hotels, a licensed local partner, movement plans and a medical plan.
Result
An unremarkable visit — exactly as intended.
Illustrative scenario C

A school abroad prepares

An international school wants staff and older students to be better prepared for emergencies.

Assessment
Needs are awareness, first response and clear evacuation procedures.
Response
Awareness and self-defence workshops, first-aid training and a rehearsed crisis plan.
Result
A community that knows what to do — and a plan that has been practised.
