In a time where security concerns are ever-evolving and increasingly complex, Estate Managers need to constantly evaluate new approaches to ensure the safety and well-being of their principals. It’s in this context that we introduce Rescor Group to the Estate Management Network as an Industry Partner. Their approach to combining security and medical services presents a noteworthy option for Estate Managers tasked with comprehensive risk management.
Founded on a wealth of experience in high-threat environments, executive protection, and corporate security markets, Rescor Group positions itself as an expert resource in private security. The company is an independent, veteran-owned industry leader whose mission is to “provide tailored security services developed with our client’s health, safety, family, and reputation in mind.”
“Family” stands out to me. Rescor Group understands the importance of comprehensive family security and has tried to address this service shortcoming in the industry; bringing boutique, white-glove service to residential security. The company prides itself in offering “practical, discreet, tailored strategies that complement our client’s lifestyle.” Rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all solution, Rescor Group works closely with each principal to create individualized programs that meet specific wants and needs.
At the helm of Rescor Group are two industry veterans: Wayne DeCoste and Jason Funaro. DeCoste brings to the table extensive experience in tailored security programs within high-threat, executive, and corporate markets. Funaro spearheads the company’s medical component, drawing from his experience in high-threat scenarios, executive protection, and emergency medical services.
The Medical-Forward Approach: A Game-Changer in Security
Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of Rescor Group is its “medical-forward” approach. This innovative strategy involves developing critical thinking skills in security teams and blending them with adaptive medical training and certification. As Funaro explains, “ALL of our agents are highly trained in emergency medical certifications, and backed by our in-house medical director.”
This approach addresses a crucial gap in traditional security services, providing clients with a comprehensive safety net that covers both physical security and medical emergencies. It’s a level of preparedness that resonates particularly well with prominent individuals, executives, and public figures who require top-tier protection in all aspects of their lives.
Rescor Group’s client base is as diverse as it is discerning. “We serve High Net – Ultra High Net Worth individuals, corporations, executives, and special figures that need high quality programs that can also support them medically.” Their service portfolio is equally comprehensive, offering a large array of services to fit nearly every client’s lifestyle and budget.
In addition to direct security services, Rescor Group also provides consultancy services. They advise Estate Managers on vendor selection for various needs, including background checks, OSINT/Cyber, and certifications/compliance. This breadth of services positions Rescor Group as a multifaceted player in the security and risk management arena.
Most of Rescor’s services are not publicly advertised, Funaro notes, highlighting the company’s commitment to discretion and personalized service. Many of their clients come through referrals from existing clientele, a testament to the quality of their work.
For potential clients interested in Rescor Group’s services, the process begins with a direct conversation. “The best way is to reach out to myself or our other directors directly,” Funaro advises. Following this initial consultation, Rescor Group conducts a comprehensive Risk and Vulnerability Threat Assessment (RVTA). This assessment provides detailed information on potential threats facing the client, their family, corporate brand, and even cyber vulnerabilities. Based on this assessment and the client’s specific requests, a tailored and customizable plan is developed.
Despite their high-touch, boutique approach, Rescor Group’s reach is global. “In the long run we are not geographically limited to any location,” Funaro states. “In fact, many of our services are provided Internationally and in dangerous and austere environments.” This global capability, combined with their willingness to operate in high-risk areas, positions Rescor Group as a versatile partner capable of meeting diverse security needs across various contexts.
For those seeking a security partner that understands the nuances of the UHNW lifestyle, Rescor Group offers a compelling proposition. By combining veteran expertise, medical preparedness, and a client-centric approach, they offer a level of protection that goes beyond traditional security services. As they continue to innovate, they are poised to remain at the forefront of the private security and medical operations industry, setting new standards for what clients can expect from their protection services.
