The modern day bodyguard can no longer simply wear a suit and carry a gun to be active in this highly specialized industry. Since the modern day bodyguard spends a great deal of time with a client, he must carry himself with an air of professional authority, which can only be gained through realistic and thorough training. The modern VIP bodyguard is a security specialist, proficient in all areas related to protection. He must be able to operate as an individual or as part of a high-risk protection team.

Fortress Global Investigations was retained by a major television production company to provide security and protection services to its cast and crew, which included several high-profile persons and celebrities, while filming in hostile areas in several African countries. Fortress Global's security personnel escorted the cast throughout their travels, outlined crisis management procedures for each of the environments the group traveled through and established liaison with local police forces in the respective cities the group traveled through.  Studio executives were very pleased with the level of security provided by Fortress Global Investigations, and subsequently contracted Fortress Global Investigations for protection services during later filming in another country.
