UHNWI Security Services
Kidnap prevention is a unique type of executive protection service for UHNWIs or high-risk individuals who fear or recognize the potential threat of kidnapping due to their level of wealth, power, fame, and / or prominence.
In some instances, such individuals have already been victims of an attempted or successful kidnap-for-ransom operation in the past.
And because kidnapping operations are typically backed by organized criminal or terrorist networks, Hyperion kidnap prevention agents possess the very highest degree of training and experience – even among other elite security operators.
Additionally, Hyperion agents often possess prior experience in conducting complex hostage rescue operations in difficult environments around the globe.
Who needs kidnap prevention services?
UHNWIs, high-profile individuals, and foreign business travelers or tourists are specifically identified, targeted and tracked by kidnappers and organized crime syndicates because these individuals are perceived to possess the means to pay a substantial ransom.
Nine times out of ten, a kidnapping-for-ransom is executed as a criminal business transaction. These are planned and targeted criminal operations that work by collecting on a kidnap and ransom (K&R) insurance policy or directly from an UHNWI or otherwise high-risk individual.
Young children of UHNWIs are especially vulnerable for kidnap-for-ransom operations.
