Global Guardian has acquired Solace Global Risk in a strategic move that expands its presence across Europe and brings together two complementary organizations in the travel and operational risk management sector. Based in McLean, Virginia, Global Guardian provides protection and operational security services to Fortune 1000 companies, high-net-worth individuals, and global organizations. The acquisition adds Solace Global Risk’s strong European footprint and proprietary technology platform to Global Guardian’s global operational capabilities.
According to the company, the integration of Solace Global Risk’s travel risk management platform with Global Guardian’s existing operational services is expected to provide a more unified and responsive security offering. The combined organization will focus on pairing real-time intelligence and technology with human-led protection to support clients in rapidly evolving environments better.
Solace Global Risk will maintain its brand identity during an initial integration period of 12 to 18 months and will continue to serve its existing European clients. During this time, Global Guardian will migrate its own clients to Solace Global Risk’s technology platform and increase investment in the system to improve usability and expand features. The company anticipates this approach will position the combined group as both a leader in field operations and in scalable, technology-driven risk management solutions.
Both companies have emphasized their alignment in mission and focus on client safety, operational rigor, and responsiveness. The acquisition reflects Global Guardian’s broader plan to continue expanding internationally while deepening its investments in digital security platforms and services.
