About Kidnap & Ransom Consultancy

Global Threat Solutions provides confidential kidnap and ransom consultancy for families, family offices, executives and organisations with elevated exposure. We help clients understand their risk, strengthen preparedness and coordinate an informed response when circumstances change.

Support can include threat and vulnerability assessment, crisis planning, communications protocols, family and staff briefings, and liaison with appointed legal, insurance and specialist response advisers. We do not replace legal advice or negotiate unless expressly agreed; personal information is handled under agreed UK GDPR responsibilities, and associated private-security activity uses appropriately authorised personnel where SIA or local requirements apply.

Our Process

How We Work

Every GTS engagement follows a proven methodology - from initial threat assessment through ongoing operations.

01

Threat Assessment

We begin with a confidential consultation to understand your environment, principal profile, and specific risk factors — building an accurate threat picture before any deployment.

02

Program Design

Our security architects design a programme tailored to your requirements - selecting the right personnel, technology, and protocols to address your specific threat environment.

03

Team Deployment

We deploy vetted professionals with the right skills and background for your program — integrating seamlessly into your environment from day one.

04

Ongoing Operations

Continuous monitoring, daily reporting, and regular program reviews ensure your protection adapts as your risk environment evolves.

The GTS Standard

Discreet. Professional.
Effective.

GTS applies a documented, need-to-know approach to sensitive information. Advice is scoped carefully, recorded appropriately and delivered with respect for the client's legal and operational advisers.

Business Insider recently featured GTS in a profile on elite private security - a recognition of the training programme and operational culture that CEO Kenneth Bombace has built since founding the firm.
