Why family offices increasingly commission a residential security risk assessment first, and how it gives every later security decision a defensible basis.
Security and risk consultancy
The assurance to go further.
We bring intelligence, oversight and protection to the risks you face, giving you greater freedom to live, work and pursue opportunity.
King Safety and Security (KSS) is an international security and risk consultancy supporting private clients, family offices and organisations. We help our clients understand their exposure, make informed decisions and manage the security arrangements their circumstances require.
Our work brings together intelligence, protective services, secure environments and crisis preparedness, addressing risks to people, property, privacy and reputation. Clients engage us for specialist advice, individual assignments or the management of a complete security programme. Each engagement combines experienced judgement with practical delivery and clear responsibility for the work entrusted to us.
Founded by Matthew Beer in 2014, KSS is headquartered near London, with a subsidiary in Toronto and operational experience across six continents.
