The KZ Pick

Global Guardian

The integrated global option: executive protection plus medical and travel risk coverage in 140+ countries, a 24/7 operations center, and service across all 50 US states. Custom quotes with family membership and per-mission pricing.

• Why it wins: the only top-tier firm an online storefront can offer today, with the positioning the top 1% requires.
• Evidence boundary: firm capabilities are company-reported. Every engagement is custom-quoted, so confirm scope and terms directly during onboarding.
• Shortcomings: bespoke close-protection details are always custom arrangements. For dedicated residential teams, expect a consultative process.
