What this covers

Operational detail for Mandalay

Property Security Survey

Structured assessment of residential properties in Central Mandalay (city centre commercial area) used by senior corporate assignees in Mandalay's extractive industries, development finance, and humanitarian operations. The survey covers perimeter access, CCTV coverage, alarm system specification, intercom and access control, and evacuation routing from all principal accommodation options in these zones.

Regulatory Framework in Myanmar

Private security company licensing in Myanmar is administered by the Myanmar Police Force under military control following the February 2021 coup. The regulatory environment is significantly disrupted and any security engagement in Myanmar requires extensive pre-deployment legal assessment. Residential security assessments for assignees are delivered through vetted, licensed operators. The operational structure in Myanmar should be understood before any residential engagement commences.

Domestic Staff Vetting

Identity verification and employment history checks for household employees. For principals in Mandalay's extractive industries, development finance, and humanitarian operations, background checks for staff with access to devices, home office equipment, or sensitive commercial paperwork carry additional weight. Employment history verification with previous Mandalay-based employers is included as standard.
