What Is Executive Protection?
Executive protection (EP) refers to comprehensive personal security designed for individuals exposed to elevated risks due to their occupation, status, or public presence. Unlike traditional security guards, executive protection specialists are trained in risk analysis, tactical response, route planning, and emergency management.
These operations often include:
- Advance route and site assessments
- Secure transportation with Armored Vehicles
- Threat intelligence and situational awareness
- Physical and digital threat mitigation
- Coordination with local law enforcement and international agencies
Who Needs Executive Protection Services?
1. Corporate Executives and Business Leaders
Business leaders often face risks related to competition, extortion, kidnapping, and travel. In regions like Iraq, where major oil, construction, and finance projects operate, executive protection ensures continuity, privacy, and safety during both business and personal activities.
Companies frequently rely on Black Tiger to secure executives and VIP visitors during high-level meetings, site inspections, or regional operations.
2. Government Officials and Diplomats
Political leaders and diplomats represent national and international interests, making them frequent targets of terror threats, espionage, or politically motivated attacks.
Our High Threat Protection services provide multi-layered security tailored for embassy staff, ministers, and international missions, ensuring freedom of movement and confidentiality in sensitive environments.
3. High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs)
Wealth attracts attention and risk. High-net-worth individuals and families are vulnerable to kidnapping, home invasion, and surveillance.
Black Tiger’s team designs personalized security plans, including residential protection through Facility Security Assessments and secure mobility supported by Armored Vehicle services.
4. Journalists, Media Personnel, and NGOs
Reporters and aid workers operating in volatile or post-conflict areas often face unpredictable threats.
Our Mobile Security Teams and protective escorts enable media crews and NGO personnel to travel safely, gather information, and perform their duties with confidence, even in high-threat zones.
5. Contractors and Energy Sector Personnel
Iraq’s oil and gas sector attracts thousands of international experts, engineers, and contractors.

Foreign delegations often operate under strict diplomatic schedules and limited local knowledge.
