This insight from Director of Operations, Nicole Malarney, captures one of the most important dynamics in executive protection: balancing principal preferences with security protocols.
Every protector faces moments where convenience and safety appear to be in tension. The difference-maker isn’t saying “no”, it’s knowing how to communicate risk, offer options, and frame security as empowerment rather than restriction.
That mindset is central to how our teams operate at AT-RISK International. Great protection isn’t just tactical. It’s diplomatic, collaborative, and client-centered.
