In this blog, Christian West and Brian Jantzen answer the four questions corporations must ask to decide between outsourcing executive protection services or handling them internally.

There is a lot of uncertainty about staffing levels for corporate executive protection programs. Team size obviously impacts program quality and cost, but companies new to the service rarely have the experience necessary to distinguish between “must have” and “nice to have”.  In this blog, Christian West and Brian Jantzen address this perennial question head-on.
