1. Licensing and Guard Card Verification

In private security, compliance starts with proper credentials. The auditor routinely reviews branch records to ensure that all Executive Protection Agents hold active, state-mandated licenses. For example, in Texas, they must verify active Level 4 Personal Protection Officer (PPO) registrations. [1, 2]

2. Training and Certification Audits

Executive protection requires advanced certifications (e.g., protective intelligence, specialized driving, medical response/TCCC, or firearms proficiency). Auditors track and verify these training records to ensure agents remain fully compliant. They also ensure that training aligns with industry benchmarks, such as ASIS-accredited preferred CPE courses. [1, 2, 3, 4]

3. Executed internal Red Team audits to assess agents' understanding and application of emergency procedures, site advance protocols, and security hardware configurations.

Compliance isn't just about paperwork; it also covers tactical execution in the field. Auditors may perform or coordinate internal Red Team Audits to test whether agents actively understand and execute emergency procedures, site advance protocols, and security hardware configurations. [1, 2]

4. Evaluated branch performance against Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to ensure compliance with client-specific requirements, including headcount and shift timing.

Large corporations hiring EP firms establish strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The compliance auditor evaluates branch performance against these SLAs to ensure the assigned protection details fulfill the agreed-upon headcount, shift timing, and specific client requirements. [1]
