When your success attracts the wrong attention, we separate the real threats from the noise
As seen on
When someone’s behaviour causes concern and you don’t know what it means
Unwanted attention. Persistent messages. A person who feels too close for comfort. We investigate behaviour to determine whether you’re facing a genuine threat or something you can stop worrying about. Clear judgement. Proportionate action. Peace of mind restored.
Who are we?
When prominence brings risk
If you’re prominent — through wealth, position, or achievement — attention is part of life. Sometimes that attention becomes intrusive. Occasionally, it becomes concerning.
You may be dealing with:
- Someone taking an unhealthy interest in you or your family
- Strangers knowing more about your private life than feels reasonable
- Messages that don’t sit right — but it’s unclear which ones matter
- Online activity that raises questions about intent or reputation
- A persistent sense of uncertainty shaping decisions and daily life
- Doubts about whether your home and loved ones are genuinely secure
- Not knowing who to trust when something feels wrong
What makes these situations difficult isn’t always what’s happening. It’s not knowing what it means, or whether it warrants action.
Left unresolved, that uncertainty has a cost. It narrows judgement, erodes confidence, and quietly reshapes how you live.
Start with clarity
Most families don’t realise how much personal information about them is already publicly accessible.
Our Digital Exposure Assessment shows you exactly what information is available online, where it appears, and how it could be used by someone with hostile or unhealthy intent.
Within a few days, you’ll have:
- a clear picture of your exposure
- an understanding of what actually matters
- a proportionate plan for reducing risk
Clarity replaces guesswork. And informed decisions replace anxiety.
Adviser resources
If you are a professional adviser supporting prominent individuals or families, we’ve developed dedicated resources for advisers to help you recognise when specialist behavioural threat and risk investigation may be appropriate.
Our adviser materials are designed to support — not complicate — your client relationships.
Our purpose
To help people feel safe enough to live freely
We've done this before
I created Parliament's threat assessment team after Jo Cox MP was murdered. My team stopped a planned terrorist attack. I was trained by the same experts who protect world leaders.
The people I work with come from intelligence services, counter-terrorism, and forensic psychology. We've handled situations where getting it wrong wasn't an option.
When you're dealing with something serious, you want people who've seen it before. We have.
Your situation, not a template
Every threat is different. A stalker behaves differently from a disgruntled employee or someone fixated on your family. The response has to match.
We assess what's actually happening, build a plan that fits your life, and give you clear steps you can act on. No generic protocols. No security theatre. Just practical measures that address your specific situation.
Complete confidentiality
I've held the highest government security clearances and been trusted with matters of national security. Discretion isn't a policy – it's how I've worked my entire career.
What you tell me stays with me. I'll be straight with you about what I think, what I can do, and what I can't. No overselling. No surprises.
Personal Threat Management - #1 Best Seller
Personal Threat Management is a practical guide for professionals required to make sound judgements about personal risk — often in conditions of uncertainty, pressure, and incomplete information.
Drawing on decades of frontline experience, Philip Grindell explains how to distinguish between behavioural noise and genuine threat, and how to respond proportionately before situations escalate unnecessarily.
Rather than promoting security activity for its own sake, the book focuses on understanding behaviour, intent, access, and trajectory — the factors that determine whether concern warrants action or reassurance.
Written for security practitioners, law enforcement, legal advisers, HR professionals, and others responsible for supporting at-risk individuals or organisations, the book provides clear frameworks, evidence-based insight, and real-world examples drawn from complex, high-consequence cases.
If your role involves assessing concern, advising decision-makers, or protecting people without overreacting, Personal Threat Management is a reference you will return to repeatedly.
