The case for prioritising this, in numbers

Not a sales pitch — market evidence. The risk to leaders who operate visibly has grown sharply, most organisations admit they aren’t ready for it, and the financial cost of getting caught unprepared is measured in months, not days.

Executive-targeting incidents in the first 10 months of 2025 vs. all of 2024 — the highest level on record.

Discretion

Every session, attendee list and conversation stays confidential — many clients operate in high-visibility roles precisely because of this.

Small group learning

Closed, small cohorts mean real dialogue, not a lecture — every participant is engaged, not just present.

Practical expertise

Instructors pair operational field experience with professional advisory backgrounds — not theory alone.

Realistic education

Built from real incidents, not hypotheticals. Knowledge that holds up under pressure, not fear that doesn't.

Programmes

Six programmes, one set of principles

Each is tailored to the organisation, corporation, travelling professional, or private family — delivered at corporate offices, executive off-sites, private family environments, or secure training venues.

Lead Under Fire

Scenario-based crisis leadership training for CEOs, boards and spokespeople who operate in public view — composure, de-escalation and coordination with security teams under real pressure.

Expecting the Unexpected

Builds preparedness through awareness, anticipation and structured thinking — so leadership teams recognise emerging risks before they materialise, not after.

Secure in the Knowledge

Practical security awareness for professionals in dynamic, public-facing roles — daily habits, situational awareness and duty-of-care support that becomes second nature.

Travel Security Awareness

Practical tools for business travellers and mobile families to prepare for travel, recognise vulnerabilities early, and navigate unfamiliar environments with confidence.

W.O.M.A.N

Women-Oriented Mitigation and Awareness Network — situational awareness, boundary-setting and confident decision-making for women in professional and travel settings.

Family Security Awareness

Helps internationally mobile families navigate modern risks while keeping their lifestyle and freedom of movement — with a dedicated track for children and teens.

How it works

From enquiry to delivery, in four steps

No self-serve checkout — every engagement is scoped to the organisation first, so nothing about the price or format is a surprise once the quote arrives.

1

Confidential enquiry

Tell us your organisation, goals and timing. Handled with full discretion from the first message.

2

Scoping call

A short call to shape the scenarios, group size and delivery format around your real risk profile — and agree a fixed quote.

3

Tailored delivery

We deliver the workshop on-site, off-site, or at a secure venue — built around your organisation, not a generic script.

4

Debrief & takeaways

Leaders leave with concrete tools, not just a certificate — plus a short written debrief for the organisation.

Questions worth answering upfront

How much does this cost?

Pricing depends on group size, format and duration. Every organisation gets a clear, fixed quote before committing to anything; nothing is billed by the hour after the fact.

How long does the training take?

Format is tailored per engagement, from a focused half-day session to a multi-day programme, depending on the scenarios your team needs to work through.

Who actually delivers it?

Praesidio Group & our associates lead the design of every programme. Instructors combine operational security experience with professional advisory backgrounds.

How confidential is this, really?

Completely. Discretion is a first principle, not an add-on — session content and participant identities stay confidential, and many clients operate in high-visibility environments specifically because of this.

Can it be customised for our organisation?

Yes — every programme is shaped around your organisation’s actual risk profile, industry and public exposure, rather than delivered from a generic template.
