Clients come to KSS Canada for many reasons. Each engagement starts with a conversation about what needs protecting and who else is involved, and each is planned from an assessment rather than a standard package.
Who We Help
Who we help
Private clients and family offices
Ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families living in Canada, and the family offices, estate managers and advisers who look after them.
Typical situations: a break-in or a near miss at the family home; a move to a new property or a major renovation; a family member attracting attention online; a household that has grown faster than its security arrangements; a family office wanting an independent view of the providers it already uses.
How we help: most families start with a residential security risk assessment: an independent review of the home and the household around it, with recommendations in order of priority. It is the most common way clients begin working with us in Canada. From there we can provide a residential security team, executive protection, secure transportation and digital risk work, run as one program with a single point of contact, or simply oversee the contractors you already have.
Example: a residential security risk assessment after an intrusion in the GTA.
Executives and organizations
Founders, chief executives and leadership teams, and the people responsible for them: chiefs of staff, executive assistants, general counsel and heads of corporate security.
Typical situations: a leader in the news or under pressure from activists; a contentious announcement, dispute or restructuring; an investor event or annual meeting; threats or unwanted attention directed at an executive or their family.
How we help: we assess the executive’s exposure (travel, routines, residence and online footprint) and recommend proportionate protection: executive protection for a period of heightened risk, secure transportation for an event, due diligence and investigations through our intelligence team, or a continuing program alongside your existing corporate security. We report to whoever you nominate and keep the arrangement discreet inside the organization.
Sport, media and entertainment
Athletes, teams and leagues; broadcasters, presenters and media personalities; artists, productions and the agencies that represent them.
Typical situations: film festival season each September, including TIFF; premieres, award shows and red-carpet arrivals; tours, games and away fixtures; online harassment or a sudden surge of public attention; a family that needs protecting as much as the person in the public eye.
How we help: we plan arrivals, venues and transport around the schedule, provide experienced executive protection and secure transportation that stay discreet in front of cameras and crowds, and use digital risk and protective intelligence to monitor online threats and reduce what can be found about a client and their family. For clients who live in Ontario, we also look after the home through residential security assessments and teams.
Canadians travelling abroad
Families, executives and private offices based in Canada who travel for business or leisure, including to places where the risks are higher or less familiar.
Typical situations: a family holiday or business trip abroad, including to South America; a first visit to an unfamiliar country; a trip that coincides with unrest, an election or a major event; travel that needs to stay low-profile.
How we help: our travel security work starts with a pre-trip threat assessment and briefing. On the ground we provide protection and secure transport through KSS operatives or vetted local teams, all working from a single plan. Canadian families and executives have used KSS to protect their international travel.
Example: low-profile travel security for a Canadian family abroad.
International partners and visiting clients
Protection firms, family offices and private offices outside Canada whose clients visit Toronto or travel elsewhere in Ontario, and visiting Principals who need a trusted team on the ground.
Typical situations: a Principal arriving for business, a film or sporting event, or a family visit; a security firm needing experienced local operatives to work alongside its own team; a private office arranging transport and protection at short notice.
How we help: our Toronto team handles planning, scheduling and coordination on the ground, and supplies operatives chosen for experience, judgement and temperament, to the KSS standard, and matched to the client and the setting. You deal with one point of contact who knows both the city and the standard your clients expect. For clients travelling on from Canada, King Safety and Security supports them internationally.
Example: experienced operatives for a partner firm in Toronto.
