Mission Support & High Risk Operations
Operational risk support for missions that cannot absorb failure.
Mission Support & High-Risk Operations is an engagement for organizations operating in sensitive environments—where targeting, interference, and information exposure are expected. We reduce risk through validation, controls, and disciplined decision flow.
The objective is not visibility. It is continuity: enabling the mission to proceed without avoidable compromise, escalation, or reputational collapse.
Mandate
- Establish risk posture, decision authority, and escalation thresholds.
- Identify threat vectors: targeting, interference, coercion, and compromise.
- Reduce information exposure through need-to-know controls and routing.
- Support pre-mission planning and high-risk movement/event decisions.
- Maintain a defensible record of decisions, actions, and incident response.
Common Triggers
- Work involving vulnerable populations or high emotional volatility.
- Operations facing online targeting, harassment, or intimidation.
- Cross-border coordination, partner vetting, or sensitive logistics.
- High-profile leadership exposure tied to mission outcomes.
- Prior incidents indicating adversarial attention or compromised comms.
When mission environments produce credible threat signals, protective intelligence is embedded to validate signals, control escalation, and prevent reaction-driven failure. Protective Intelligence
