Our Story
After over 25 years in the security industry, George Powell realized that traditional, reactive security plans were not enough. While they addressed immediate threats, they often left high-profile individuals and assets vulnerable before action could be taken. Drawing from his extensive experience, George developed a revolutionary "360-Degree Approach" to security—one that anticipates and mitigates risks from every angle. His method goes beyond physical protection, incorporating intelligence gathering, situational awareness, and even psychological factors to address cyber, reputational, and environmental threats.
This proactive approach ensures that threats are neutralized before they escalate, offering a layer of protection that safeguards not only physical safety but also the reputation and well-being of those under his care. As George transitioned into consulting, he shared this methodology, training security professionals to look beyond immediate threats and to prevent danger before it materializes. For George, the future of protection is proactive, not reactive.
