What North Star Support Group does

North Star Support Group (NSSG) is a privately held risk management and crisis support firm headquartered in Bucharest, Romania, with licensed regional offices in Cairo (Egypt) and Kyiv (Ukraine) and representation in ten additional countries across Europe, MENA, North America, and Asia-Pacific. Founded in 2017 under CEO Alessandro Martello and operating as North Star Support Group SRL, the company delivers bespoke professional services across six core practices: Physical and Mobility Risk (travel risk management, executive protection, emergency evacuation, secure transportation, medical solutions, and security manpower), Enterprise and Project Risk (ERM implementation, embedded risk practitioners, project-based risk), Intelligence Services (due diligence, compliance intelligence, geopolitical support, and specialized capabilities including the Behavioural Recognition System), Crisis Management, Cyber and Business Forensics, and the NSSG Training Academy.

The technology platform underpinning service delivery includes the proprietary 24/7 C3i (Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence) operations center in Bucharest, the Argus App for traveler GPS tracking and SOS activation, AI-Powered Video Analytics, and the BRS for OSINT-based psychological profiling and sentiment intelligence. NSSG holds ISO 9001, ISO 18788, ANSI/ASIS PSC.1-2022, ICoCA, NATO NSPA, OSAC, and UN Global Compact credentials, and is supported by an advisory board of former senior officials from the FBI, CIA, NYPD Intelligence, Israeli Police Counter Terror Unit, US Army Special Forces, and NATO.

The business model is direct enterprise sales through confidential consultation, discovery calls, and custom quotations with multi-year contract structures. There is no self-serve channel, no public pricing, and no recurring subscription product; revenue is generated through professional services and managed embedded engagements. The company serves corporate leaders, high-net-worth individuals, government/diplomatic personnel, multinational corporations, NGOs, and international bodies operating in elevated-risk environments, with customer concentration spread across technology, infrastructure, government, luxury retail, financial services, gaming, pharmaceutical, construction, hospitality, and logistics sectors.
