Who We Serve
For principals whose risk has outgrown the current arrangement.
EAG works with principals, families, offices, and companies that need independent judgment before they add vendors, expand coverage, or delegate a decision that should stay with the principal or leadership team. The work is not a substitute for a chief security officer. It is the advisory perspective that makes that hire or the decision not to hire a deliberate one.
Security, in this practice, is not synonymous with a protective detail. It is a governance function: deciding what belongs under the principal’s or leadership team’s oversight, what should be delegated, and when specialist support is warranted. Principals often delay because they equate security with bodyguards they do not need. Yet the earliest risks are usually different - a relationship, a request for money, a venture, a trip, a public profile, or a purchase that sets a precedent. EAG helps surface those risks while the underlying decisions can still be shaped.
PRINCIPALS AND FAMILIES
Visibility, residences, travel, privacy, family routines, and access to people and property change faster than the informal rules around them. EAG clarifies what must be protected, who decides, and which protections belong under the family’s oversight rather than a vendor’s habit.
FAMILY OFFICE LEADERS
Most offices already have capable specialists and trusted advisors. What they often lack is one person holding people, access, residences, travel, sensitive information, and vendor performance in a single operating picture. EAG builds that picture without building a department the office does not need.
FOUNDERS AND GROWTH-COMPANY LEADERS
Personal risk arrives before the company is ready for it: travel, a public profile, a workplace concern, a liquidity event, or a residence that is also a workplace. EAG gives the founder or leadership team a senior view of what is actually exposed, what the company should own, and when an outside specialist should be engaged.
COUNSEL AND TRUSTED ADVISORS
When a security question cuts across governance, privacy, travel, reputation, workplace issues, or vendor performance, EAG can work alongside counsel. The role is to provide an independent security perspective so legal and fiduciary advisors can remain within their mandates while security decisions receive dedicated attention.
COMMON TRIGGERS
- Rising visibility, a liquidity event, or a change in public profile.
- A new residence, a changed travel pattern, or family members moving independently.
- Workplace concerns that are also personal-security concerns.
- Vendor complexity, unclear decision rights, or technology that no one is governing.
- Growth past the arrangement that used to be enough.
