Somalia Security, Field & Travel Services

SST has on staff and constant command contact professionals in the realms of private security, lawyers, pilots, doctors and botanical and zoological field researchers, as well as venture capitalists and players in the business and non profit community. We have years of experience developing pilot projects, field studies and surveys, research outposts in parks and pristine reserves, and testing new tech. We can and do help companies with market surveys and studies as well as new products testing and business registration from Silicon Valley tech companies to products and solutions for the bottom of the pyramid. SST can arrange lab testing for public health regulations, registry and import/export, formulation and permits, communications installations, and setup of mobile or permanent research camps. We also provide recruiting and hiring services as well as filming permits, AV support and translators/interpreters. We have aided many journalists and documentaries with appropriate permits, staging/set/character role scouting, and content.

SST has a security division and red teams as another core business, who represent real and resume-rich security professionals drawn from actual live offensive and defensive tactical combat experience and from multiple military arms and roles in Somalia and abroad. We also plant intel scouts for years for international law enforcement within the Indian Ocean. From perimeter shift guards to special escorts to armored solutions and scouts and advance red teams, SST far exceeds the quality and standards of the myriad guard staffing companies in Mogadishu and provides rock-solid real security for sensitive or expensive deployments, pilot products or projects, NGOs, or VIPs. We have direct experience with kidnapping negotiations, anti-piracy, anti-theft, and asset recovery, investigation and installation of personnel plants and informants for wildlife trafficking and human trafficking, maritime security, aviation security, search and rescue, and VVIP escort. We can also regularly support to transport vanilla, money, tech, minerals, vehicles, pharmaceutical research samples and medicines, antivenins, and discrete parts or components. We’ve even assisted with hunting for pieces of aircraft crashes and investigations.
