ABOUT US
People are an organisation's greatest vulnerability and its strongest defence, often at the same time. That insight sits at the centre of everything we do. ERG designs risk-based, intelligence-led converged security systems built around the humans who inhabit them, not around the technology that sits on top.
Most security providers work in a single discipline. We work across all of them. Physical, cyber, technical, personnel and people security are not separate problems to be solved in isolation. They are facets of one challenge, and the gaps that adversaries exploit tend to open up exactly where those disciplines meet. Our work is to see across them.
We help clients cut through uncertainty and make decisions they can stand behind. Whether that means reducing a specific risk, strengthening resilience or preparing for a crisis that has not happened yet, we are there for the difficult moments as well as the routine ones. When the stakes are highest, that is when the work we did beforehand matters most.
Our team comes from intelligence, military, law enforcement, academic and corporate backgrounds. That range is deliberate. It is what lets us tackle risk across every region and sector, and it is why clients return to us. We do not just advise. We help build the security cultures, the vigilance and the resilience that hold when they are tested.
Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.

Dr Paul Wood is a highly approachable and knowledgeable expert who brings exceptional clarity to what can often be a complex and technical subject. His deep understanding of security risk management is matched by his ability to communicate it in a practical, engaging, and accessible way. Rather than overwhelming with jargon, Paul brings the topic to life with real-world relevance, helping businesses like ours make confident, informed decisions.
Working with Paul and ERG has been a genuine pleasure. His collaborative style, strategic insight and ability to tailor advice to our context made a real impact. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any innovation-led business seeking expert security guidance that is both proportionate and commercially focused.

Tackling cyber security was overwhelming, Paul helped me lay out the steps and I was able to get started. Cyber security can be challenging and take time therefore the guidance has been very helpful.

Working with Emerging Risks Global allowed us to identify our specific security risks and mitigate them, ensuring our assets and business are protected. Paul provided practical templates that let us formalise our procedures immediately, rather than starting from scratch. This review was a key factor in our recent fundraising and ongoing client conversations, providing the validation needed to prove that security is at the heart of everything we do.
