Media and corporate event in Johannesburg, South Africa
High-risk environment protection for media and corporate events
Sceptre Protection operates regularly in Johannesburg, South Africa, delivering safe media events in a region widely regarded as high risk for violent opportunist crime.
Part of our role is the protection of executives, staff, VIPs and high-profile Hollywood stars from their arrival to departure. Johannesburg’s reputation for above average risk means that media teams attending for corporate and red carpet evets must have total confidence in Sceptre’s protection measures.
Before these events begin Sceptre will give clients a comprehensive briefing on which named individual will meet them at the airport in Johannesburg, how they will be transported to their hotel, what contingency measures are in place and their program of movements thereafter. The briefing will include measures and suggestions designed to reduce their personal risk while going about their business.
For those events or personnel attending who are higher profile and therefore at greater risk of pre-planned crime, Sceptre will provide highly experienced close protection staff and secure transport using trusted partners.
Sceptre also recommend specific safe hotels. These world-class establishments have designs and security measures to detect and deter would be assailants, together with resilience to ensure communications remain operable during local power cuts.
The measures Sceptre have put in place have already prevented several opportunist crimes, including attempted car jackings and bogus taxis attempting to pick up staff and guests.
Sceptre continue to be relied upon by clients to operate in the higher risk areas of South Africa and protect their staff and assets using tried and tested local partners.
