Separ International

What Separ International does

Separ International is a UK-headquartered, private security and risk management firm founded in 2013, operating across more than 50 countries with offices in the United Kingdom (Hereford), Kenya (Nairobi), Ukraine (Kyiv/Lviv), Afghanistan (Kabul), and Pakistan (Islamabad). The company delivers tailored protective services, operational support, and specialist training to governments, NGOs, media organisations, and corporate clients working in hostile and complex environments. Its core personnel are former military, intelligence, and law enforcement professionals, supported by accredited psychologists and cybersecurity specialists, with a 24/7 Operations Centre in Hereford providing round-the-clock monitoring and incident response.

The product portfolio spans six integrated service lines: HEAT/HEFAT training (accredited by Highfield and NUCO), end-to-end cyber security services aligned to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and Cyber Essentials, strategic advisory and risk assessments, conflict and specialist migration (evacuation logistics), operations support including close protection and logistical planning, and the Safeture technology platform for travel risk management. Training is sold per person (£1,800 in the UK, $1,450 in Kenya) through scheduled public cohorts and bespoke enterprise sessions, while advisory, operations, and migration work is delivered on a quote-based professional services basis; the Safeture partnership introduces a recurring technology/subscription layer. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, a self-serve online training booking channel, regional operations teams, and referral partners (e.g., the Kenyan Editor's Guild).

Revenue mechanics are dominated by project-based professional services with episodic conflict-driven surges (the firm reports 32,000+ cumulative evacuations), supplemented by a smaller, more predictable training cohort schedule and the emerging Safeture technology subscription line. The customer base is concentrated in media (BBC Persian, BBC World, Bilan Media) and humanitarian segments, with growing outreach to oil & gas and corporate clients. The company is independently held, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
