Neptune P2P Group's security risk management and media security services focus on two diverse areas - Film and TV Production security in the studio or on location; and close support to the correspondents, reporters and the staff of the Press industry that risk their lives to provide ground-truth reporting in the most hostile of locations across the globe.

The Press
Neptune P2P Group provides the following security services for the Press:
- Close Protection Officers (CPOs) – CPOs provide immediate and intimate protection for our clients. They are recruited from former specialist military backgrounds and can be deployed as individuals or as part of a team. We tailor our services to the needs of our clients. Our CPO’s can be employed discreetly or in a more overt deterrent manner and are carefully selected for any specific requirement. They possess the interpersonal skills that you would expect as professional CPO’s such as flexibility, discretion, and emotional intelligence which ensure that our clients can go about their business safely and securely.
- High-Risk Security Advisors (HRSA) – Our HRSA service often works with the media, assisting from planning through to and including the deployment. HRSAs understand the unique requirements of working with the media, NGOs and similar organisations. They use the experience from deployments as a CPO to advise on expeditionary security risk management.
- Risk Advisory Services – The assessment of the threat, hazards, vulnerabilities, and subsequent risk, providing risk management recommendations and plans that will mitigate the risk to the clients’ critical assets. The advisory also covers the development of security and operating procedures including contingency plans.
