A Business Built on Extreme Trust

While the intelligence community has traditionally been the purview of government agencies, the rise of Private Intelligence Companies has led to a new landscape in which private entities play an increasingly important role in the gathering and dissemination of intelligence.

Mr French has been performing these services for well over a decade. We are often the first to see or hear of a potentially damaging situation — often long before the media or even other C-suite members.

We help businesses protect their interests and avoid making deals with companies or individuals that may not be in their best interests. Our work is legal, ethical, and within all applicable laws.

Beyond Intelligence

Physical Security Surveys

Using government-level experience, we conduct proprietary full physical security surveys. Our experts assess and recommend solutions in line with best practices and your corporate culture, maintaining a proactive response to evolving threats.

Crisis Consulting

From reputation management to legal strategy and financial planning, our crisis consultants help you identify problems, develop response plans, control the message, and emerge stronger on the other side.

Risk Assessments

A systematic process for identifying, assessing, and managing potential risks to business success. We help you make informed decisions about how to avoid or mitigate threats before they materialize.

SAFE Program

Security Awareness in Foreign Environments — designed by Dr. Paul French after years of providing personal protection to members of the British Royal Family, senior judges, political figures, and CEOs. Training executives to be their own security detail.

Counter-Espionage

In the realm of industrial espionage, counter-espionage serves to identify and thwart competitor activities. Through HUMINT, SIGINT, and OSINT, we analyze threats and implement countermeasures — from physical security protocols to counter-surveillance and counter-propaganda — adapting to the ever-evolving nature of corporate threats.
