The challenge
A Canadian family planned a visit to Rio de Janeiro. They wanted to be properly protected in the city, but did not want to travel with a large or visible security team.
What we did
KSS Canada’s intelligence team prepared a pre-trip travel threat assessment and briefed the family on situational awareness before departure.
A single senior security advisor, with remote medical training, travelled with the family throughout, making decisions on the ground and coordinating local transport. He worked alongside KSS’s established security partner in Brazil, a vetted team with national coverage that operates to KSS standards, with both teams working from one operational plan issued in English and Portuguese. Our operations team tracked movements in real time.
The outcome
The family completed their visit as planned, with protection that matched the risk and stayed out of sight.
