Executive protection, secure transportation, and travel logistics for private family offices and corporations — coordinated through a single point of contact, executed without fanfare across every market we serve.
DAW supports two principal client types. The work is the same — the conversation we have before it begins is different for each.
Principals, families, and the staff who manage their lives. We deliver residential security, secure transportation, and travel coordination with the discretion the role requires — and the documentation the office requires for record.
Executive teams traveling to board meetings, earnings tours, and high-profile venues. Annual meetings, leadership offsites, and customer events. We work as an extension of corporate security or travel — never in front of it.
Every engagement is built around the same disciplined sequence — assess, coordinate, execute, document. Detail is what separates competent from acceptable.
Every relationship begins quietly and proceeds in the same disciplined sequence — regardless of whether the work is one trip or ten years.
A direct call with a principal of the firm. No intake forms, no automated routing, no junior account intake. We listen first.
Quiet review of context, exposure, residences, travel patterns, and stated risk. We identify what protection actually needs to look like.
Specific agents proposed by name and credential. Vehicles and routes chosen for the principal's actual movements — not a template.
The work is done quietly. After-action reporting is produced when family office or corporate counsel requires it for record.
Licensure is held directly by DAW Security in the states below — not subcontracted, not delegated, not relabeled. State-specific compliance is managed in-house. Operational coverage extends through registered partners across roughly thirty additional states.
For a request in a state not listed, the answer is almost always still yes — coverage is coordinated through the single point of contact you already have.

An executive protection agent is a credentialed protective specialist focused on principal safety — threat assessment, advance work, close protection, and incident response. A security driver is a specialist in protective driving, route awareness, and evasive technique. The two roles complement each other: a single agent often performs both functions for lower-profile movements, while higher-risk details use a separate driver and a dedicated protective team.
Both. Our direct clients are private family offices and corporations — not retail or one-off individual buyers. If you are a principal looking for protection on behalf of yourself or your family, the family office, attorney, or risk advisor representing you is welcome to make the introduction; we work through that channel comfortably.
For existing clients in licensed states, same-day stand-up is routine. For first-time engagements, the timeline depends on the depth of advance work required — a standard executive transport assignment can be operational within 24–48 hours; a multi-agent detail with route planning typically requires 72 hours or more for proper preparation.
Yes — for existing domestic clients, on a select-engagement basis. International work is managed through vetted in-country partners with DAW oversight on the trip itself. We are conservative about new international engagements without a domestic relationship in place.
Where licensed, where appropriate, and where the principal authorizes it — yes. Many family office and corporate engagements are deliberately unarmed. Posture is determined by threat profile, jurisdiction, and the principal's stated preference, and confirmed in writing before the assignment begins.
