Executive protection in Phnom Penh is a programme, not a single officer. It is the discipline a company applies to protect a travelling executive against drive-by theft, fraud, and political-demonstration exposure: advance work on venues and routes, a written risk assessment, an operations controller, and Ministry of Interior registered secure transport integrated with the corporate itinerary. This page is for security managers designing protection around a C-suite visit, where the need is layered, documented risk management.
