Security Operations Planning and Execution

The Ramaro Group has a wealth of experience in flawlessly planning and executing the many security aspects of complex operations throughout the world. We have been particularly successful in “green field” startup projects in some of the most remote and dangerous corners of the globe. Our projects have taken us from Africa to the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Our experience has also extended far outside the traditional roles of security to include such aspects as ground and air transportation management, operation of aerodromes, provision of tactical communications, and emergency medical care supervision.

Security Surveys and Risk Assessments

Good security begins with professional Risk Assessments and is kept up to date by targeted Surveys. These have been the bread and butter of our business and nobody does it better. We are especially adept at performing such Assessments and Surveys in high threat areas where others fear to tread. Our successful approach to Risk Assessments is a qualitative rather than a purely quantitative one. To do so we engage experts who thoroughly understand not only the associated geographical region but also the core business of our client.

Expert Witness/Litigation Support

We have a proven track record in providing Expert Witness and Litigation Support. Our solid, professional security experience, coupled with formal graduate education, allows us to perform comprehensive analysis and present our findings in an articulate, convincing manner.

Security Personnel Recruitment

We are uniquely positioned to recruit world-class security personnel who are superbly qualified to serve at the C-Level of major corporations, in subordinate security management positions, and as in-country security managers throughout the world. Our pool of security professionals frequently consists of former U.S. Army Field Grade Officers (e.g. Major through Colonel), with Combat Arms experience (e.g. Infantry, Special Forces, Armor, Field Artillery), and who were members of the select Foreign Area Officer (FAO) Program. These professionals hold advanced academic degrees, speak regional languages fluently, and have worked and lived extensively in their respective regions. They are the elusive “pentagonal pegs” needed to fill the “pentagonal holes.”

Travel Security Programs

Whether you are an individual traveling abroad, or a company with such personnel, we can help you develop a Travel Security Program that will allow you to reduce the risk of travel. If you are an employer, you have a legal Duty of Care responsibility to provide such a robust program for your employees and contractors who travel abroad. We have developed just such complete and coordinated Travel Security Programs for numerous Fortune 100 companies that have allowed their personnel to travel throughout the globe, including high threat areas, with impunity. We can do the same for your company.

Webinars/Training/Guest Speaker

Security Training is one of our hallmarks. Our personnel have spent full careers training both government and civilian personnel in both peace and war. Thus, we are experts at imparting such knowledge to others. Our recent experience has included both international security webinars and hands-on instruction. We have also been engaged as effective guest speakers on such topics as:

• International Travel Security
• Developing Your Company Travel Security Program
• Hiring Your Security Team
• Security of International Operations
• Emergency Preparedness

Emergency Response Planning/Disaster Recovery

Whenever natural or man-made disasters strike, your company needs to be ready. Advanced planning is the key to maintaining operations during these events and quickly recovering afterwards. We have developed and implemented such plans for several Fortune 100 companies and can help you do the same.

Counter-Terrorism

Terrorism is an unfortunate aspect of the modern world regardless of where a company operates geographically. And, because of the nature of their business, some companies have a higher threat profile than others. Consequently, all enterprises need to thoroughly evaluate their exposure to terrorism and develop corresponding plans. Our world-wide experience can be brought to bear to help you meet this need, just as we have done for many international corporations.

Maritime Security

Maritime security covers the gamut of protection needed while a vessel is underway to that required while in port. Those marine companies operating in pirate-infested waters such as the Gulf of Guinea or the Arabian Sea know that the threat is very real. Cruise Lines calling at a variety of ports understand that the protection of their vessels, crews, and passengers is crucial. Our extensive international security experience has been brought to bear to solve such dilemmas for numerous Fortune 500 Companies and can do the same for you.

Aviation Security and Safety

Aviation companies, as well as those companies with aviation departments, understand the necessity for complete security for their assets and operations. We have developed and implemented such aviation security programs for both domestic and international operations. Our clients have included numerous Fortune 100 companies operating in remote locations throughout Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East.

Due Diligence

When considering a business relationship with another company, it is imperative to thoroughly investigate the potential new partner. Our many years in the international arena can help you identify and research any issues that need to be considered before becoming committed.

Competitive Intelligence/Counter-Espionage

It is undeniable that many companies and governments actively use intelligence sources and methods to gain the advantage over the competition. The surest way to combat these attempts is through the application of proven Counter-Espionage tactics and techniques. Our many years of experience in the international business and governmental arena can help you defeat such activities.
