Executive Protection Services Across Massachusetts
Executive Protection is the umbrella discipline behind everything Hub does to shield a principal from physical, reputational, and situational risk — at the office, at home, in transit, and at public appearances. It is not a single service but a coordinated program built from advance planning, trained agents, and clear reporting.
Hub Security and Investigative Group provides Executive Protection throughout Massachusetts, backed by licensed investigators and protective agents, clear communication with your office or household staff, and a plan built around your specific risk profile — not a generic package. Below, we break down how that program adapts to a corporate leadership team, a private residence, business travel, the workplace itself, and situations that call for an armed or low-profile posture.

Corporate Executive Protection
Corporate Executive Protection builds a protective program around a company’s leadership team, covering the office, the daily commute, business travel, and public appearances tied directly to the organization. This is the most common engagement Hub runs for Massachusetts companies: a named executive or small group of leaders who need discreet, professional coverage without disrupting how they actually run their business.
We start by mapping the executive’s real schedule — board meetings, investor days, shareholder events, site visits — and build Post Orders around those recurring touchpoints rather than a one-size-fits-all template. Agents are trained in defensive driving and emergency medical response, and our account managers stay in direct contact with the executive’s assistant or corporate security office so coverage adjusts as the calendar changes.
Residential Executive Protection
Residential Executive Protection places fixed protective coverage at a principal’s home, including perimeter monitoring, visitor and delivery screening, and coordination with any household staff already on site. For families facing an elevated or specific threat, we also provide overnight and weekend coverage, secure vehicle staging, and a documented response plan for the residence itself.
Because a home is a different environment than an office or a venue, our residential teams are briefed on the household’s routine, the family’s preferences for visibility, and any existing alarm or camera systems, so our agents work alongside your home’s security rather than creating a redundant, conflicting layer.
Executive Travel Security
Executive Travel Security focuses protection specifically around air travel, hotel stays, and unfamiliar cities, including advance site surveys of destinations before a principal ever arrives. Our advance team maps ingress and egress points, identifies the nearest trauma center, and audits the venue or hotel’s own security posture ahead of a trip.
On the ground, this means secure transit between the airport, hotel, and meeting locations, real-time monitoring of local conditions, and a pre-set communication plan so your office always knows the principal’s status. Whether it’s a single-city business trip or a multi-stop tour, the advance work is what keeps travel protection from becoming reactive.
Workplace Executive Protection
Workplace Executive Protection focuses on an executive’s on-site work environment — office access control, screening of visitors, and a clear response plan for workplace-specific threats. This overlaps closely with our broader workplace violence prevention work: corporate restructuring, involuntary terminations, and sensitive labor disputes can all create real risk for the leaders who have to deliver difficult news in person.
In those situations, we provide discrete, armed or plainclothes protection during high-risk employee separations, along with practical lobby and floor-access controls so an executive’s day-to-day office environment stays secure without feeling like a fortress.
Armed Executive Protection
Armed Executive Protection pairs trained, licensed close-protection agents who are authorized to carry firearms with a principal facing an elevated threat level. It adds a visible and practical deterrent and response capability beyond standard unarmed protection, while agents are trained to de-escalate whenever possible and use force only as an absolute last resort.
Our armed agents are licensed under Massachusetts requirements and drawn from backgrounds in law enforcement or military service. We assess whether an armed posture is actually warranted during our initial risk assessment — we don’t default to it, because the right level of protection is the one that matches your actual threat profile, not the most visible option.
Covert & Low-Profile Executive Protection
Covert Executive Protection keeps agents low-profile — plainclothes, unmarked vehicles, and unobtrusive positioning — for principals who need real coverage without a visible security presence. This is common for public figures who want to maintain a normal-looking routine, or for situations where an obvious security detail could itself draw unwanted attention.
Our plainclothes operatives are trained in surveillance detection, identifying suspicious behavior or tracking attempts at a distance before they escalate into a close-proximity encounter, so protection happens quietly and proactively rather than reactively.
Advance Work & Protective Planning
Every engagement above is built on the same foundation: advance work and route or venue planning completed before the principal arrives. Our team conducts site surveys, maps primary and secondary evacuation routes, identifies the nearest trauma facility, and documents the plan in writing so it survives a change in personnel or schedule.
This planning layer is what separates a professional protective detail from simply assigning a guard to follow someone around — it’s the difference between reacting to a problem and having already accounted for it.
