How Magnum delivers
Mission-specific post instructions
We work from the mission’s security policies and agree post instructions, screening steps and escalation contacts in writing with the regional security officer or equivalent.
Access and vehicle control
Officers manage pedestrian and vehicle access, including under-vehicle inspection where required, and maintain accurate visitor logs.
Residences and movements
Residential guarding, security drivers and close protection for heads of mission and visiting officials can be combined under one coordinated plan.
Discretion and confidentiality
Officers assigned to missions receive briefings on confidentiality, conduct and cultural expectations.
Questions
Can you work alongside the host-nation police presence?
Yes. Private security complements, and never replaces, the protection provided by the authorities. We coordinate through the channels agreed with the mission.
Do you provide residential security for diplomats?
Yes, including guarding of residences, alarm response and secure transport for staff and families.
