SECURITY SERVICES<br />

licenced security operatives. We supply many other security companies with security staff<br />
due to our capabilities, attention to detail and the continuous supply of high quality staff<br />
from management level through to the security personnel on the ground.<br />
Unlike many of the larger companies, we take pride that all our staff are personally known<br />
to us and undertake thorough retraining to meet our high standards. We do not sub<br />
contract personnel from other companies as they have not undergone our training<br />
programs. We have supplied & managed staff for major high court enforcement companies<br />

Specialist services<br />
RED TEAMS<br />
Our Red Team personnel are highly experienced in this area. They are a mixture of<br />
specialist military and civilian operatives who have extensive knowledge of penetration at<br />
government levels.<br />
A red team is an independent group that challenges an organization to improve its<br />
effectiveness. Private business, especially those heavily invested as government /defence<br />
contractors such as IBM and SAIC utilise these services. Government agencies have long<br />
used Red Teams to find weaknesses in their security protocols.<br />
Red teams assess organization security, often unbeknownst to client staff. This provides a<br />
more realistic picture of the security readiness than exercises, role playing, or announced<br />
assessments do. The Red Team may trigger active controls and countermeasures within a<br />
given operational environment.<br />
This service is particularly effective in the assessment of Close protection & residential<br />
security teams. This is not to criticize security elements, but to seek out weaknesses and<br />
liabilities due to human error or other factors and demonstrate these weaknesses to advise<br />
on measures to correct them.<br />
Our teams can provide this tailored service to Corporate, private and government entities.
RAPID INTERVENTION TEAMS<br />
Kidnap and ransom, along with human trafficking, are particularly violent criminal acts,<br />
as the objects of kidnappings are frequently chosen specifically because the targets are<br />
defenceless and vulnerable. Many kidnappers are professionals and highly aggressive in<br />
such endeavours, and therefore the associated risk of harm to the hostage can be great.<br />
During captivity the risk of abuse to the hostage remains high.<br />
Guardian ISS, with its team of experienced personnel, logistical support elements and a<br />
rapid response capability, is well positioned to bring this type of expertise into play by<br />
providing immediate evacuation planning and arrangement of mission support logistics,<br />
while concurrently dispatching an experienced surveillance, intelligence & evacuation<br />
team to any region in the world.<br />
In addition, we can, if required, provide emergency medical assessment, first aid, drug<br />
administration, and emergency medical treatment necessary to stabilize individuals until<br />
they can be transported to a safe regional medical facility for further treatment.<br />
Our evacuation team members are accustomed to operating fully independently in<br />
remote and hostile environments, including those where personal safety and the rule of<br />
law can be fluid elements under the best of circumstances.<br />
In such cases, we are prepared to use whatever means are necessary, including<br />
unconventional extraction methods, to secure the safe passage of our team and our<br />
target evacuees from the area of unrest to the nearest designated safe area.<br />
We will, were possible, liaise and coordinate with local and international governments<br />
and law enforcement agencies for support and legal procedures. Each operation will be<br />
assessed individually to recognise the legalities and risk assessment of overt or covert<br />
operations and the possible support from local agencies.<br />
The Rapid Intervention Team has been formed to provide a quick reaction once notified<br />
of the current or impending actions by such groups. Due to our ability to provide teams<br />
on the ground at short notice, we can respond quicker than most government or local<br />
agencies to any incident, which is vital in locating those who have been taken.<br />
Guardian’s vision of the RIT is, but not limited to, reaction to incidents where individuals<br />
or groups have been kidnapped, or the location they live in is at risk from terrorist or<br />
criminal elements due to their religious beliefs.
REMOTE REGION SECURITY RECONAISSANCE<br />
This service is a necessary solution for those intending on visiting or considering to set up<br />
a base of operations in remote or hazardous regions of the world.<br />
We can provide critical information with “eyes on the ground” of the complexities and<br />
hazards in the location by assessing where needed some of the following:<br />
Threat & risk analysis · Health & Safety · Identification of suitable premises · Identification<br />
of local leaders · cultural diversity · local and regional laws ·Known criminal/terrorist<br />
organisations · Liaison with local law enforcement · Security protocols & requirements to<br />
include emergency evacuation plans.<br />
This service is conducted by former military personnel from recognisance units and the<br />
intelligence communities.<br />
On completion of the service, clients will receive a complete written report outlining the<br />
findings along with video and photographic evidence and recommendations to ensure<br />
your safety.<br />
This service is an asset to NGOs, Aid workers, Religious groups, corporate entities and the<br />
film production industry.
