Every organisation wants to protect its crown jewels. Examples of these crown jewels include data, unique technology, and the employees who work with the data and/or technology. Threats can originate either from within the organisation, also known as insider threats, or from external actors. An example of an insider threat would be a disgruntled employee. An example of an external threat would be a cyberattack or disgruntled customers. To gain a solid understanding of these threats and take risk mitigation measures where necessary, it is important for organisations to have their corporate security in order.

Conversations with our specialists are always confidential due to our professional secrecy.

You may have a dedicated department that deals with this matter. But an outsider’s perspective can be of great value when it comes to ensuring that such a department has specific and up-to-date expertise in the area of corporate security. This may include insider threats, espionage, or the latest modus operandi of criminals, including CEO fraud and various forms of phishing.

Hoffmann employs several in-house specialists who can advise you periodically or serve as your regular in-house consultant on corporate security matters. In doing so, they draw not only on their own knowledge and experience, but also on the knowledge they accumulate every day as they conduct investigations, thereby identifying the modus operandi of insider threats or cybercriminals. As a result, our specialists’ expertise in the field of corporate security is always comprehensive and up to date. 

Activism example 

A concrete example of an external threat is activism. Organisations are increasingly facing activism. Via social media, some (corporate) activities are constantly in the public eye. Sometimes, activists try to disrupt these activities or disclose confidential information such as trade secrets to expose alleged wrongdoing. In extreme cases, activism even involves violence. Activism is a social phenomenon using social media platforms in particular. Therefore, Hoffmann’s focus is primarily on these platforms. By recognising and monitoring unwanted attention to your organisation early on, Hoffmann is able to take accurate measures. To this end, we have in-house cyber specialists who monitor social media platforms. In case of any threatening developments, they engage Hoffmann’s physical security specialists to anticipate the possible activism.

Corporate & Family Security

Being able to go and be wherever you please: it seems so self-evident. Yet, unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Personal safety is not a given for everyone. Some individuals are at greater risk than others, such as famous people in the Netherlands, CEOs of multinationals, the chairs of some organisations, local entrepreneurs and politicians.

For them, (physical) threats, extortion, stalking and even hostage-taking are a real and day-to-day risk. The reasons for this are varied: a successful business, high net worth, a business dispute, or a specific opinion or point of view.

Private security

The provision of private security has grown to be one of our specialised services, one that we put into practice with absolute discretion. Accordingly, our approach is truly personal. Your situation and wishes are at the heart of our personal security assessments. We are present in both your residential and working environments and are at your service at home and abroad. We protect not only you, but also your close relatives. And we monitor your risks in your immediate physical environment as well as in the digital, online world.

Residential security

If a safe home is not something you can take for granted, we can use a broad range of visible and invisible security measures to restore your sense of security, without turning your home into a fortress. How exactly do we approach this? 

Our approach: home security for an existing home

Security measures implemented as part of an existing dwelling should be logical, easily accessible and reasonably balanced. When securing an existing home, we therefore first carefully examine how the quality of structural features can be improved, what system of electronic detection and control would be suitable, and what organisational measures can be applied.

Our approach: home security for a home to be built or renovated

When implementing security measures into a major remodelling or newly built house, you can save costs, as the necessary building security specifications can be introduced as early as the consultation with the architect or builder. This includes the location of entrances and exits, the hardware used on doors and windows, the quality of the window frames, burglar-resistant glazing, a strongroom or safe room, detection and monitoring, and lighting.

Naturally, when it comes to securing your home, we always favour measures that both curb the identified risks and fit within your personal life.
