Communication breakdowns

Executive protection FAQs
Is executive protection expensive?
No. The world is becoming more and more dynamic and even historically benign locations are becoming volatile. Increased civil unrest, extreme weather and political tensions are heightening disruptions brought about from human interruptions, natural disasters, terrorism, violence and other crime. Insurers and regulators are also impacting how companies develop policies for travel and duty of care. The cost of one secure journey to ensure an uneventful trip is often a fraction of the cost of an event, especially considering the potential of injury or illness to individuals.
Is executive protection just for VIPs?
No. Our travelers are not always VIPs. Executives, personnel, students, faculty, scientists, reporters and professionals seek protection and secure journey management when traveling for business, conferences, presentations, R&D and other events to avoid disruptions to their business.
My company currently handles executive protection (EP) internally. Why should we outsource to Everbridge?
Corporate security departments, travel and event managers, HR and others tasked with ensuring duty of care for employees benefit from Everbridge assuming the risk of the activities while providing time savings and vendor efficiencies. Everbridge has unparalleled access to global intelligence and risk data, which means our teams know faster and respond smarter to potential threats. By managing our global partner network, we vet all vendors to ensure they are operating to the highest professional standards and credentials are intact. Once a mission is live, an Everbridge security operations manager is tasked with the volume of touch points, risk matrices and dynamic piece parts that go into every operation, so your security team can stay focused on their jobs at hand.
Some of my travelers refuse to accept executive protection. How can you convince someone the threats are real and that executive protection is needed?
Everbridge will work with a client to understand why the individual is hesitant to accept a protective detail. Often, the individual doesn’t understand the threats. Other times, s/he may be so familiar with a destination that the threats have been normalized. We can support you in helping to heighten the situational awareness of the traveler and allay concerns about the detail. We also ensure that the protective detail matches the traveler profile. In some cases, a discreet, incognito detail is more suitable than a traditional protection service. We also regularly advise teams on policy and other workflow or travel approval processes to share knowledge of best practices.
How do I activate executive protection or other secure journey management services through Everbridge?
Contact our team directly by emailing securityops@everbridge.com. Even if you don’t have all the details for an upcoming trip or event, our team can respond quickly with a quote and key considerations. We just need to know the destination, potential dates of departure and return, number of travelers and any special considerations.
Do I need to be an existing Everbridge client
to arrange executive protection services?

No. Our services are available to protect anyone, anywhere. For those not already an Everbridge client, it can be more efficient to connect with us on a “maybe” to establish a relationship and satisfy procurement processes before an urgent need arises. This is especially helpful if your travelers frequent high-risk destinations and the need for extraction or other repatriation is a possibility.
