Security Through Understanding

When you’re prominent — whether through wealth, position, or influence — security isn’t just about the kit. It’s about whether you can sleep at night, make decisions without second-guessing yourself, and live without constantly looking over your shoulder.

At Defuse Global, we’ve learned something over three decades: true security is as much about what’s going on in your head as what’s protecting your home.

Worry, fear, uncertainty — they creep in quietly. Before you know it, they’re affecting how you live, how you work, and how you lead. Your world gets smaller. Your confidence shrinks.

Here’s where we’re different: While others sell you protection, we give you reassurance and solve the problem.

We listen first. We work out what you’re genuinely facing versus what’s just noise. Then we build a strategy around you that discreetly addresses the risks that matter most to your family, business, and reputation.

Our network of trusted professionals delivers practical solutions that fit your life, not a security manual that makes you feel under house arrest.

The result? You get your peace of mind back. You get control back.

And you can confidently focus on what matters — your family, work, and your future.

That’s the difference between security and safety.

Philip Grindell MSc CSyP – CEO & Founder

 Behavioural Threat Assessment & Crisis Management for Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals and Family Offices

When Jo Cox MP was murdered in 2016, Philip was the Scotland Yard Detective Inspector chosen to lead Parliament’s response. Not because he had the biggest team, but because when MPs’ lives hang in the balance, you need someone who spots what others miss.

After 30 years at the Met, including three years with British Intelligence, Philip had kept the Royal Family and Government ministers alive at high-risk events. Leading the team protecting MPs after Jo’s murder, he prevented the next assassination—identifying a planned attack on a serving MP and police officer in 2017.

Philip founded Defuse Global to solve problems traditional security firms can’t touch. Not bodyguards or panic buttons—but specialist advice, consultancy, and investigative work that stops stalkers, ends harassment campaigns, and neutralises threats to your physical safety, mental wellbeing, and reputation before they destroy what you’ve built.

Working with clients globally, Philip doesn’t manage crises—he prevents them. His expertise led to the bestselling book “Personal Threat Management,” now required reading in the industry. Clients describe working with him as transformational. The hypervigilance stops. They sleep again.
