Frequently Asked Questions

What clients most often ask.

Your question not listed? We respond to every confidential enquiry within 24 hours.

How quickly is Ardos operational in a crisis?

We are reachable 24/7. An initial situation assessment is delivered within a few hours. On-the-ground deployment: 24 to 72 hours, depending on region, visa situation and availability of certified air-rescue and ground partners.

In which regions can you operate?

Worldwide. We operate a network of vetted partners on every continent, with particular depth in high-risk regions of Africa, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Operations in sanctioned jurisdictions are reviewed individually and in compliance with applicable law.

What confidentiality does Ardos guarantee?

Absolute discretion is the basis of our business, not a promise. NDAs precede every substantive conversation. Mandates are run in separate, compartmentalised structures. No internal file-sharing via third-party cloud services. Clients never learn of each other.

What sets Ardos apart from conventional security consultancies?

Conventional providers specialise either in intelligence analysis, crisis advisory or operational evacuation — and outsource the remaining capacities to subcontractors. In escalating situations, that is precisely where things break.

Ardos unites all three under one roof. One decision chain, one situation assessment, one accountable party — from OSINT briefing to helicopter evacuation.

Who are your typical clients?

Corporations with international personnel (notably energy, commodities, pharma, industrial construction, international logistics), executives and C-suite members with travel exposure, humanitarian organisations with field operations, and high-net-worth individuals and family offices.

Does Ardos also offer medical evacuation?

Yes. We coordinate cross-border medical care — from connecting clients with specialist physicians and immediate telemedicine consultation, to arranging hospital admissions and medical evacuation by air ambulance or helicopter. Air-medical coordination is delivered with licensed and certified partners.

What does an engagement cost?

Fees depend on the engagement and are agreed individually after an initial assessment. Options range from a one-off intelligence briefing, through retainer models for permanent readiness, to engagement-based crisis mandates. Initial conversations are confidential and without obligation.

How does an enquiry process work?

First contact via the contact form or directly by email. Within 24 hours we arrange a confidential initial conversation (encrypted channel). You then receive a concrete situation assessment and a written engagement proposal. Mandates begin only after mutual sign-off and NDA.
