Summary
  • Strategic Overseas Services (SOS) provides assistance to government groups in the form of advisory, training task and commercial groups, such as gas & oil and mining operations, in particular the provision of security risk management and community relations; in addition SOS has provided advisory services and physical assistance to other commercial groups who operate within non-permissive hostile environments. 

  • The company is flexible enough to operate as and where required, having the ability to establish and maintain administration and management protocols within a region of interest. 

Purpose
  • SOS offers intelligent alternative options to its clientele that are bespoke, robust and realistic; these principles remain central to our business model. Although experienced ex-military personnel deliver much of the company’s work, the company maintains a clearly stated commitment to take the best of military practices and combines them with the civilian equivalent, it is business-focused and maintains the client-centric approach to project management. Fundamentally, we believe that if measures significantly hinder our clients’ business, and are inappropriate for mission success, they are the wrong measures to have in place. 

  • SOS has a selected database of consultants, therefore allowing the company to draw on all levels of previous experience and points of contact. The company provides high quality, intelligence-led, meticulously delivered services. Our commitment to low key, indigenous operations means that our services are in particular demand in those environments where there is an established threat from terrorism, insurgency and serious criminality. 

Infrastructure and Resources
  • SOS has actively worked on expanding its government, commercial and intelligence networks, collating and analysing all information received for the benefit of its client base. The company’s’ management team, which has wealth of experience and specialist background, would operate an in-country office within the region of concern. As a matter of course the in-country team has established detailed procedures and contingency plans to cater for any eventuality or emergency that may arise, these are well documented. 

  • The company employs extensively, trains and administers from the local populous thus ensuring security is intrinsically linked to theirs through vetting and training. This, combined with our low-key approach has meant that we are able to enjoy a secure and safe working environment.
