Our History:
Since 1977, multinationals have called on The Ackerman Group for counsel on a broad range of security and investigative issues.
We have been retained by the Chubb Corporation for 46 years to respond to emergencies on behalf of holders of its Kidnap/Ransom & Extortion insurance policy.
Our emphasis is on prevention, but, in an emergency, we respond with unparalleled professionalism. Our tenacity, resourcefulness, and vast international network of partners have earned us a reputation as the crisis management authority for corporate decision-makers around the world.
We are best known for developing and implementing strategies to protect multinational corporations and their personnel from terrorists and criminals, planning for contingencies, dealing with extortions and other threats, and recovering kidnap victims.
Our approach is anchored in our Risknet® service, which analyzes terrorism, crime and political-stability risks in 100 countries and is updated every business day. Our approach to crisis management is grounded in the Ackerman Principals and we have had nearly half a century of success following these tenants.
Clients seek out our intelligence, negotiating, communications and protective expertise when facing emergencies globally — from kidnappings, extortions and threats to wrongful detentions, evacuations, and intractable problems with violence-prone labor and fringe groups.
Our innovative training programs, commercial and residential physical security audits, due diligence investigations and first-rate executive protection service are designed to prevent possible vulnerabilities being exploited by bad actors.
The Ackerman Group has broad experience working with a variety of industries to include energy and gas, industrial production, shipping and transportation, investments, multinational law firms, media, and NGOs. We also assist multiple high net worth families, home offices and individuals.
Moreover, as an entirely autonomous concern, The Ackerman Group renders advice independently of manufacturers of security hardware, alarm and guard services and insurance providers.
Our methodologies are thorough, balanced, deliberate, proven – and cost-effective. Our discretion is absolute.
