BNP Paribas is a well-known investment bank, and as such are subject to heightened threat from tailgating and access breach. Therefore, tight access and egress protocols are critical, and our team are highly vigilant and appropriately trained to detect and deal with incidents.

Close Protection (CP) services are also required from time to time, in line with movement in the UK threat level. This involves Corps CP officers escorting members of the bank’s senior management team and VIP’s when in transit or moving between buildings. BNP Paribas can sometimes find themselves a target for negative attention due to specific political alliances or wider business associations, this can lead to localised protests and demonstrations held outside their buildings.

The Corps contract management team monitor French news and political channels to help identify any specific threats and work in partnership with the bank to put plans in place to protect those identified as vulnerable. The Corps team at BNP Paribas are also heavily involved in the practice of ‘dawn raid’ scenario testing which sees representatives from the HMRC arrive on site and demand access. During this live exercise the team are required to respond as if this were a genuine raid, following the specific processes and protocols outlined by the customer.
