ISDA’s mission is to provide and support an international forum of protective services
providers who share knowledge for the ultimate purpose of enhancing professional and business standards. Our members are security practitioners who supply protective services to corporate executives, high-net-worth individuals, military personnel, and law enforcement agents and officers. Who We Are Not
ISDA does
not train or supply drivers, EP agents, or secure transportation services. Neither we nor anyone else has a silver bullet to help gain employment. It is up to each individual to prepare themselves. ISDA supplies the tools to accomplish that goal. What We Provide
Our association offers Basic and Certified memberships. Basic membership requires no pre-qualifications. ISDA certification requires the completion of a certification process. The process follows guidelines defined by credentialing organizations and standards that are recognized in all other industries. The certification has been recognized by the corporate community for 40 years. We provide unbiased information to members and offer a platform for them to share their knowledge and express their opinions. The ISDA Separation - The Constant Learner
We are in a time when there are more EP/bodyguards/security drivers in the marketplace than there is a market for their services. To differentiate himself, a professional must become a constant learner. A constant learner isn’t defined by a training curriculum. Instead, that person is marked by a perpetual curiosity, a demand to ask and understand, “Why am I doing this? Why is this significant?” They feel the need to acquire additional skills and to meet and exceed what is expected from them. The International Security Driver Association helps its members become constant learners by opening the door to their curiosity. We Seek Clarity
ISDA seeks clarity and transparency in the protective services profession. Social media have twisted the security driving and executive protection professions into marketing terms with no regard for their defining skill sets. ISDA Brings Clarity to the Market
With a proven 40-year track record, ISDA will leverage its professional experience and knowledge of social media to get that message of clarity to the market. ISDA founder Tony Scotti has thrived in the profession and created the most enviable client list in the industry without advertising. ISDA’s message will be heard via the most powerful marketing tool available - word-of-mouth.
