Executive Protection & Security Advisory in Riyadh for Vision 2030 Business Missions
Under Vision 2030, Riyadh has quickly become a destination for top business leaders, state investors and entertainment companies. Each October the Future Investment Initiative, known as 'Davos in the Desert', brings global finance leaders to the city, and that needs very careful executive protection planning.
Saudi Arabia carries a higher risk than similar Gulf states, including cross-border missile and drone threats, internal security issues, and the targeting of well-known foreign business people. Before you travel to Riyadh, our advisers assess the political, physical and legal risks of working in the Kingdom.

Threat picture
Riyadh at the elevated risk band
Operating in Riyadh requires a security posture calibrated to elevated structural risk: targeted threats against international principals, persistent surveillance pressure on UHNW visitors, and the operational complexity that follows when local authorities are themselves a stakeholder in the visit. Our advance teams produce a daily threat brief from the moment a deployment is confirmed and update the team in real time throughout the mandate.
Our risk briefings draw on public information, what we learned on earlier jobs in the area, and regular contact with trusted local partners. If the risk changes while we protect you, the team is told straight away.
