International Security Consulting
Global operational coverage - on demand
Seven domains of specialisation across Africa, MENA, and conflict zones. Each deployment is custom-built — no catalogue, no generic solution.

On-site leadership, security strategy, team management. Command profiles for degraded environments.
Security audit MENA and sub-Saharan Africa. Vulnerability assessments, procedure plans, hardening recommendations. Conducted on the ground by practitioners — not remote consultants.
Up-to-date country briefings, evacuation planning, mobile crisis management. Security built into travel.
Continuous security monitoring, recurring threat intelligence. Reports tailored to each client decision cycle.
Forged on active, high-intensity conflict zones. Specialties: drones, tactical medicine, urban combat, electronic warfare, high-intensity combat, operations.
Security advisory for C-suites and boards. Risk analysis, security architecture, due diligence.

Permanent security monitoring. Field expertise is continuously updated - not frozen in a manual.
Each mission is sized to the client context. No pre-priced packages.

Sectors requiring high confidentiality and operational expertise.
Speculatores Group deploys close protection operators across sub-Saharan Africa, the Sahel corridor, and East African conflict zones. Each assignment is staffed exclusively from practitioners with current field presence in the region — not from a centralised roster of generic bodyguards.
Each close protection detail is scoped to the specific threat environment: nomadic routes, peri-urban extraction points, border crossing protocols, and local partner coordination. Operators carry regional knowledge that cannot be acquired from a classroom.
For multinational executives, NGO leadership, and government delegations operating in volatile African environments, Speculatores Group provides discreet, mission-ready close protection — activated within 72 hours of mandate.
Request a close protection briefing →A security audit in MENA requires ground-level knowledge that generic frameworks cannot provide. Speculatores Group conducts these assessments across the Middle East and North Africa — covering facility hardening, access control, insider threat protocols, and emergency response readiness.
Our methodology draws on active operational experience in the region. Assessors have worked in Gulf state environments, North African urban centres, and conflict-adjacent zones. Findings are benchmarked against real-world threat patterns, not ISO checklists.
Deliverables include a prioritised vulnerability register, remediation roadmap, and optional staff awareness sessions. Engagements are fully confidential — no audit data is retained after handover.
Request a security audit →The Sahel remains one of the world’s most complex security environments — overlapping insurgencies, porous borders, and rapidly shifting threat actors across Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, and northern Nigeria. Speculatores Group delivers risk assessments calibrated to this specific operating landscape.
Each engagement covers threat actor mapping, access route viability, local partner reliability evaluation, incident history analysis, and mitigation planning for field operations. Reports are produced by analysts with direct deployment experience in the region, not from open-source aggregation alone.
Clients include NGOs maintaining field programmes, extractive industry operators, and government agencies requiring independent risk assessments ahead of mission authorisations. Assessments are available as standalone deliverables or embedded within a recurring security monitoring contract.
