Ground plan of the Temple of Vesta: twenty columns in a circle around the hearth

Plan of the Temple of Vesta in the Roman Forum. Twenty columns around a hearth: as long as the flame burned, the city was protected.

Expertise

Three disciplines, one team.

A threat against a person becomes a matter of reputation the same evening; a crisis that is not properly closed weighs on an image for years. These risks are usually entrusted to providers who do not talk to one another. At Vesta Partners, a single team manages them, from a single analysis.

Identify what could affect you, prepare the response while there is still time, then run the crisis unit until calm returns.

  • Vulnerability mapping

Method

Five stages, from the first conversation to the return to calm.

  1. Listen

    A partner receives your enquiry and frames the situation with you. Nothing is recorded without your consent.

  2. Assess

    We establish the facts, the parties involved and the risks, whether legal, media-related or physical.

  3. Decide

    A position is agreed, a spokesperson appointed, a timetable set. You receive a dated and timed situation report.

  4. Act

    Public statements, security measures, heightened monitoring: every action is logged and reported on.

  5. Restore

    A debrief, the rebuilding of your image, an anticipation framework for what follows.

What you receive

A dated and timed report, and a vigilance level.

At every stage, you know where the situation stands. Each of our monitoring and situation reports bears a date, a time and one of our four vigilance levels, written out in full and clearly marked.

  • Level 1 · Watch Situation monitored, nothing to report.
  • Level 2 · Vigilance Weak signals identified.
  • Level 3 · Alert Risk confirmed, response ready.
  • Level 4 · Crisis Crisis unit convened.

Our international work

Sport

The match is played in public. Your protection is handled in private.

Players, those close to them, clubs: risk anticipation, crisis communication, security and reputation, with the discretion that elite sport demands.

We take no part in transfers or in contract negotiations. Your protection is our only interest.

Our dedicated sport service

The firm

A private firm, bound to secrecy.

A few simple rules, upheld without exception, from the first conversation to the close of the matter.

Confidentiality as the rule

No client logos, no case narratives and no quantified results on this site. That is the first guarantee we owe you.

One partner, from start to finish

The same partner handles your matter from the first conversation to its close, and is accountable for every specialist we bring in.

A single position

Communication, security and image proceed from a shared analysis. No one speaks until the line has been agreed.
