When executives travel, whether for board meetings, investor conferences, site visits, or international deals, the risks they face multiply dramatically. It’s not just about where they’re going or what they’re doing; it’s about the structure (or lack thereof) behind their movement. Even companies with solid executive protection protocols often overlook subtle but critical gaps in travel security. Based on decades of experience safeguarding high-profile leaders in complex environments, here are five of the most common vulnerabilities we see - and what you can do about them. 1. Unstructured or Ad Hoc Itineraries The Risk:Many executive trips are coordinated last-minute or pieced together from multiple sources, travel departments, executive assistants, and external partners. This fragmented approach makes it easy to lose sight of the full itinerary, which complicates planning and increases exposure. The Fix:Establish a centralized itinerary control process. Whether you use a secure digital platform or assign an EP team leader, every trip should have a single source of truth that integrates travel, lodging, meetings, and social events.

Overreliance on Local Ground Transport The Risk:Executives often rely on ride-sharing services, hotel shuttles, or third-party providers for ground transportation, especially internationally. These drivers may not be vetted, trained in security protocols, or even aware of who they’re transporting.

Unsecured Accommodations The Risk:Hotel reservations are frequently made based on brand, loyalty points, or proximity to meetings, with little thought to physical security, surveillance, or escape routes. In some cases, executives are booked into known high-risk areas or rooms with poor access control. The Fix:Conduct a [...]
