Client: Global Insurance Multinational
Location: Bangalore, India
Sector: BFSI
In today’s volatile corporate landscape, workforce restructuring and downsizing often come with heightened security risks. From emotional unrest among employees to reputational threats and physical harm to key leadership, companies must anticipate and address such vulnerabilities proactively.
This case study highlights how MitKat Advisory deployed specialized Close Protection Services for Executives to safeguard the senior management of a global insurance multinational during a sensitive mass layoff in Bangalore. The operation not only neutralized the risk of escalation but ensured business continuity and personnel safety without drawing public attention.
The Situation
A prominent global insurance firm in Bangalore was preparing for a large-scale workforce reduction. Internally, tensions were mounting, and management foresaw the risk of:
- Employee unrest: Sentiment analysis suggested a likelihood of aggressive or disruptive behaviour, especially in operational departments.
- High-value Asset Risk: Servers, sensitive documents, and classified financial data were vulnerable to sabotage or data leaks.
- Executive Safety Threats: Senior management was directly involved in conveying layoff decisions, making them visible and exposed targets.
- Media Attention: Any escalation could attract media scrutiny, damaging brand reputation and employer image.
To ensure a secure and smooth transition, the client engaged with MitKat Advisory to provide comprehensive risk mitigation support, with a core focus on Close Protection Services for Executives.
