Project 7 Security Group (P7SG), a legal U.S. Corporation, is a leader in worldwide personal protective security. Our protective specialists have operated and provide high-level static and mobile security services around the world, for U.S. Government clients, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), multinational corporations and a host of clients that require specialized risk mitigations options in war zones or other areas of high conflict that lack first-world security postures.
Our comprehensive program of management solutions, mission support, force protection and expertise in diplomatic protection services, ensures that Project 7 Security Group stands out amongst its competitive peers as the best in the business.
Having the right hands on the job makes a difference.
As a matter of good business practice, we thoroughly vet and hire only the most skilled personnel who bring an extremely dynamic combination of training and expertise to the protective environment. Each of our security contractors has an exceptional performance record and recent experience in operations as part of U.S. government-level security contracts at U.S. embassies, consulates and forward operating bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico, Colombia, Kuwait and on the African continent.
As part of our rigorous background check, the U.S. Department of State verifies the Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty of military service members as well as their training, where they were stationed, previous contracts and exposure to hostile environments.
The national security complex is changing rapidly.
The threats of ISIS, global terrorism, among numerous threats to peace and stability, place enormous security demands on governments. At the same time, economic, social and political pressures place additional strain on governments to furnish adequate security.
In part for these reasons, Private Military Companies (PMCs) are taking over an ever increasing load of duties that traditionally belonged to the military, FBI, DEA, and other federal agencies. Looking back on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, nearly half of the forces deployed there were private military contractors.
Outsourcing personal protective security to PMCs is cost effective compared to deploying active military service members. Contracting with PMCs also avoids having to call up national guard reserves to cover responsibilities. What’s more, in the event of unfortunate circumstances such as capture, injury or death, these ordeals don’t resonate the same way with the public when PMC personnel is involved as they do when involving someone in the military.
The number of operating PMCs is projected to continue growing. Meanwhile, there is a soaring number or military who have ample training but lack work where they can apply their skills upon exiting service.
P7SG is perfectly positioned to answer the call for providing world-class security and to employ accomplished military.

P7SG’s proficiency with protecting critical infrastructure and physical assets stems from operations in the Middle East, where members of our staff were tasked with maintaining a guard force comprised of professionals from multiple nations, trained to operate in accordance to United States standards for quality and efficiency.
The cultural and language challenges our team leaders overcame, in their oversight of such engagements, includes all of the clerical administration, life support, mission support, reconnaissance, mobile operations, and security tasks required to move in foreign countries securely, which laid the organizational and disciplinary groundwork for P7SG’s current expertise in operational practices.
