Global Protective Risk Management for Executives, Families & Private Clients
Focus One Group is a Toronto-based protective risk management and executive protection company providing discreet, intelligence-led security solutions for corporations, Family Offices, executives, UHNW and HNW individuals, high-profile clients and their families across Canada and internationally.
Established in 2008, Focus One Group was built around a simple principle: effective security should enable people to live, work and travel with confidence — not unnecessarily restrict how they live their lives.
Today's risk environment extends far beyond traditional security guarding. Executives and private clients face an increasingly interconnected range of threats involving personal safety, international travel, residences, transportation, public exposure, online activity, reputation and the security of the wider family.
Our approach brings these risks together under a coordinated Protective Risk Management strategy.
From Executive Protection and Secure Transportation to Travel Risk Management, Residential Security, Threat Risk Assessments, Protective Intelligence, Special Event Security and Private Client Protection, Focus One Group develops security programs around the client's actual lifestyle, business activities, travel patterns and individual risk profile.
Security That Operates in the Background
For senior executives, Family Offices and private clients, effective protection requires more than placing a security professional beside the principal.
It requires understanding where vulnerabilities exist before they become incidents.
Our protective teams combine advance planning, threat intelligence, secure transportation, route and venue assessments, protective logistics, residential security and 24/7 operational support to create a security environment that is proactive, discreet and proportionate to the risk.
Whether protecting an executive travelling internationally, supporting a family across multiple residences, coordinating secure transportation, managing security for a high-profile event, or responding to an emerging threat, Focus One Group provides clients with a single trusted security and risk management resource.
Toronto Expertise. International Capability.
Headquartered in the Greater Toronto Area, Focus One Group provides Executive Protection and Security Services in Toronto and throughout Canada, supported by an established network of vetted security, transportation, intelligence and crisis-response resources internationally.
Our objective is not to place more security around our clients.
It is to provide the right security, at the right time, in the right place — while preserving privacy, independence and freedom of movement.
Protecting People. Preserving Privacy. Safeguarding Legacy.
The Focus One team seamlessly integrated with our staff, the U.S. Secret Service, the LAPD, the U.S. State Department, and the Intercontinental hotel as true professionals to facilitate a smooth and safe event.
Focus One Group has worked with the US Chamber of Commerce on numerous events. Focus One Group assisted in designing and implementing the operational security plan to safeguard the 2022 CEO Summit of the Americas. This event included high ranking government officials, foreign dignitaries, and CEOs from 17 different countries encompassing North, Central and South America.
“We have over 30 years in the global protection service industry”.
“Able to be relied on, honest, dependable and truthful”.
“The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles”.
