- including armed operationsFor security officers of diplomatic missions and international organizations in Vienna. Embassy security from a team that knows international security protocols from the field, not from a textbook.
Request a security assessmentVienna as a hub for international organizations places particular demands on the security of diplomatic sites:
Embassies and delegations of international organizations hold a special legal status – exactly what makes them attractive targets for a wide range of security breaches.
Diplomatic protocol, procedural requirements and international standards are hard to derive from theory alone.
Demonstrations, targeted incidents or reconnaissance attempts require a security concept that covers multiple layers at once.
Black Graben's comprehensive security approach ensures the highest level of protection for diplomatic missions and related facilities. By integrating physical, procedural and technological security measures, we deliver tailored solutions that balance deterrence, detection, delay and response according to the ALARP principle ("as low as reasonably practicable").
Our founders have themselves worked for the United Nations, the OSCE and US government agencies – they know the requirements of diplomatic security from their own operational practice, not just from theory.
Physical, procedural and technological measures work together instead of in isolation.
Control of vehicle access, visitors and personnel at a level that meets international expectations.
From escorts to particularly exposed locations – scalable to the risk level.
Ongoing evaluation of the security situation instead of static, one-off concepts.
Diplomatic security requires experience that can't be simulated. Our founders have worked in precisely this environment – for international organizations and government agencies.
Worked for the United Nations and the OSCE in high-security-risk regions. Full member of the International Security Management Institute (M.ISMI®) with a diploma from London.
Worked on behalf of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Defense in Afghanistan and Iraq. Advisor to the Security Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina on migration and security policy in cooperation with the EU and IOM.

Analysis of the current security situation and existing measures on site.
Development of a multi-layered security approach for your facility.
Coordination with security officers and, where required, with authorities.
Ongoing adjustment of the concept to a changing threat picture.
Yes – our founders have themselves worked for the United Nations, the OSCE and US government agencies, and bring that experience directly into every concept.
Through strict confidentiality agreements, carefully vetted in-house personnel, and a restrictive approach to all security-relevant information.
Where required, yes. We coordinate our concepts closely with the relevant local authorities to ensure a consistent level of security.
