Bastion Security Summary

Bastion Security provides innovative, effective and efficient Services and Products to clients that are both in the Security Industry or the end-user and whose chief concern is results.

Effective protection is achieved by efficiently using methods and resources which directly, or indirectly;

• maintain the structural integrity of the threatened asset;

• allow the normal operations of the client (and the assets it owns and/or controls) to continue with minimal disruptions due to security concerns;

• minimize loss of net worth, and

• allow the client and its assets to meet their objectives in a timely manner.

The key to providing effective protection is to identify, assess and predict the various threats and their targets in advance of an attack in the probable, possible and emergency response scenarios which can be expected to occur over the lifetime of the client's presence in high-risk situations and remote sites. Only then can the required resources and methods be identified, prepared and deployed where required, when required.

Core Competencies

To ensure the highest quality of service to its clients, Bastion Security is structured to operate within high-risk situations (includes conflict and post-conflict zones) and remote sites and has focused its talents on the following security elements;

• Security Operation Management;

• Asset Protection, including any combination of the following asset types;

  • Fixed Assets;

  • Portable Assets;

  • Human Assets, and

  • Intellectual Assets.

• Security Intelligence;

• Consulting;

• Training, and

• Security Operation Service Support.

Bastion Security takes a low-profile, modular and scalable approach to high-risk security. The underlying concept of all products and services provided is that they need to adapt to the most probable, possible and emergency response scenarios which have been identified, assessed and predicted over the life of the security task. They must be flexible enough to quickly respond, and adapt, to a changing situation as well as those which elements which have not been identified, assessed, or predicted. Most importantly, security measures should not draw attention to the client from threats which are seeking targets.

Security Services

High-Risk security has the potential to be very resource-intensive, in terms of personnel, equipment and time, if not approached in a modular and scalable manner. Effective security does not necessarily need to be expensive, but it needs to be innovative, well thought out, planned in advance, and executed effectively to be cost efficient. The structure of the Security Team deployed will be based on the protection requirements of those critical assets identified by the client, security, as well as the various threats to the client, and is flexible enough to accommodate operations of any size, scale, and scope under one command structure fully supported by the Regional Centre responsible for that operation.

The modular and scalable approach allows the insertion of additional security elements when they are required as the threat level, or the scale of the client operations, increases beyond the current ability of the security teams to provide effective protection. If this increase is temporary, the added elements can be removed once the threat level, or the scale returns to “normal” (the state that existed prior to the increase). This modular and scalable approach provides a very cost and resource efficient method of providing effective protection in the present and future.

Experience / Opportunities

Threats within high-risk / conflict zones are generally of a higher calibre and may be prepared to pay a higher price to achieve success. That price may include personal injury to themselves, their Target, the Security Teams which separate the two, as well as innocent bystanders. Hi-Risk or Remote-Site security needs to be well planned, well executed and demands personnel which have the training, experience and mental capacity to allow them to formulate plans which minimize the interaction between the Threat and the Target. Most importantly, they must have the thought process and training which allows them to react quickly and properly to a Threat that does manifest itself.

Personnel deployed on security operations are selected from the Security Roster according to the client's requirements, employed on a contract basis, and trained as a team prior to deployment to ensure team cohesion and high standards are maintained. The necessary knowledge, skill and experience required to perform each task will vary according to the specifics of the mission and personnel are matched and trained for the probable, possible and emergency response tasks to be performed over the expected life of the deployment. A premium is placed on personnel with international experience, primarily military with at least one deployment with a UN, or NATO, peacekeeping operation, or a multi-national Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief mission.
