Residential Executive Protection and Concentric Rings of Protection

Writer's picture: Secure OptionsSecure Options

In Residential Executive Protection programs (Residential Security Teams / Detail) it's imperative to apply the concept of "concentric rings of protection". Concentric rings of protection, also known as "layered security" or "protection-in-depth", is a security strategy that uses multiple layers of protection to deter and detect threats. This concept enhances a security teams performance as it allows the executive protection team to deter, detect, delay an intruder and allow for the protection team to respond quickly.

How it works:

  • Each layer of protection is designed to make it harder for an intruder to reach their target 

  • The outermost layer is the easiest to penetrate, while the innermost layers are the most secure 

  • Each layer has a different level of security, such as physical barriers, electronic access controls, or cybersecurity protocols 

  • The goal is to make it as difficult as possible for an intruder to succeed 

Why it's important:

  • Concentric rings of protection can help protect people and property from physical intrusions, cyber-attacks, and insider threats 

  • This strategy can help ensure a rapid and effective response to security breaches 

Examples of concentric rings of protection:

  • Perimeter fences: The outermost layer that deters unauthorized access 

  • Perimeter gates: Driveway gates and pedestrian gates

  • Perimeter lighting: Motion lighting or lighting continually on

  • Secure doors: The inner layer that controls access to sensitive areas 

  • Biometric scanners: The inner layer that provides more sophisticated security 

  • Cybersecurity protocols: The inner layer that protects against cyber-attacks




Should the design of the residential property not illustrate any forms of "concentric rings of protection", a good solution would be to conduct a residential security assessment of the property. The findings of your report could shed light on security upgrades and improvements to ensure your client has some form of a layered protection.
