Managing Media Intrusion
High-profile individuals often face intense media scrutiny and intrusive social media attention.

Our specialist intelligence team, comprised of former British Intelligence, Special Forces, legal investigators, and fraud specialists, delivers discreet, accountable, and legally compliant intelligence gathering. By identifying and assessing threats in real-time, we support clients with a strategic, evidence-based approach to counteracting media intrusion, online risks, and personal security threats—ensuring peace of mind while on tour.
