THE INTEL ROOM
Executives are increasingly facing serious threats, from kidnapping to assassination. These incidents not only risk physical harm but can also cause significant financial and reputational damage to organizations, disrupting leadership, shareholder confidence, and business operations.
In North America, major professional sports leagues like MLB, NBA, and NHL games draw millions of fans each season, creating thrilling atmospheres, anticipation, and excitement that brings communities together. But beyond the scoreboard and excitement lies an unseen team of security professionals dedicated to protecting the fan experience and personal safety. One critical aspect of a physical security strategy is Open-Source Intelligence, or OSINT, which plays a key role in protecting large-scale events.
Empire Protection is a leading protection and intelligence firm based in Toronto, Canada. Founded in 2017, Empire was born after the founders, Mitesh Shah and Neil Persaud, noticed a gap in the industry: security companies were prioritizing scaling their business over training their security guards, compromising the safety of their clients and guards. Specifically, these security companies offered minimal to no training, while their employees worked in high-risk environments without understanding the threats they faced. Determined to challenge this norm, Empire’s founders envisioned a boutique security firm that not only met the needs of its clients but prioritized professional training for their team. Our training strikes a balance between hard and soft skills. Today, Empire Protection is a testament to this vision, having established a proven track record for delivering high-quality protection services across Canada. By leveraging a well-trained guard force, backed by innovative security technology, Empire Protection has carved out its share in a saturated and overcrowded market. Currently, the company operates across three main verticals: 1. Security Guard Services; 2. Executive Protection and Secure Transportation; and 3. Risk Management, Training and Consultancy
