Protect Security management AKE's team of Security Risk Specialists served in the Special Forces before joining the private sector. At AKE they bring the benefit of their extraordinary skills and international experience to individuals and companies operating in challenging or hostile environments. When accompanying a client on the ground these highly skilled individuals take every precaution to anticipate events and maintain safety. Their focus is your security and the accomplishment of your objective. When you need to undertake a security risk assessment of your facilities or your staff, AKE's security risk specialists will use their expertise in location security audits and personal security reviews to design and implement a plan that will minimise the risks to you and your operations. AKE Security Risk Specialists fulfil a role that stretches far beyond that of the traditional security manager: they are available for both highly mobile tasks in high-risk areas and long-term projects such as the operational security management of a facility. Over the past 15 years AKE specialists have worked with enormous success across all of the world's hostile and challenging regions: from advising businesses in Latin America, to assessing security in the Niger Delta and managing the security of media crews in Iraq and Afghanistan.
