Vesper Group was founded in 2004 and is a Swedish, intelligence-led security company. We are dedicated to helping and securing our clients’ personnel and operations, wherever they are in the world.
We began by protecting individuals and operations in some of the world’s highest risk environments, including Iraq and Afghanistan. We continue to do so with outstanding success. We – also have a sound reputation for our operations – in other hazardous and distressed regions around the world . Vesper was the second company in the world to be certified according to the very high standards of the ICoCA, International Code of Conduct Association.
Confidence in us has continued to grow. Over time we began receiving inquiries requesting help from companies and organizations in Sweden. They needed support to build systematic security structures, crisis management capability, to investigate and protect against intrusions, thefts, internal crime, threats and violence against staff. They were also seeking ways to – screen individuals in recruitment processes, a as well as carry out due diligence on companies before entering new business relationships.
Many satisfied clients then wanted to learn more about managing security problems and protecting their staff and operations through training. We met these needs by developing training courses in travel safety, HEAT (Hostile Environment Awareness Training) and crisis drills.
We are dedicated to creating a safer Sweden. In recent years – in line with increasing and emerging threats to Sweden’s security – and thus demands from new security legislation, the demand for security protection assignments has increased. Our experts educate, advise and support mainly government customers.
