Some security companies also provide an extra package that caters for top executives on international trips by providing them with luxury house rentals complete with servants and chauffeur-driven cars. Do take note that by securing the residential premises is the first basic thing to do in an executive protection line of defense against kidnappers.
- Another important thing to adhere to is the locations of the residence, its neighborhood (not located in a secluded area), make sure that there are several routes for moving in or out of the area and also the condition of the street must be in good conditions whenever you are involved in executive protection.
- People who are involved in this type of security will always make an effort to study the surrounding of the neighborhood, take notes of their regular activities and regular situations that occur in the area. They will also observe suspicious people who loiter around, working or sitting in cars, unusual trucks or vans parked or wandering around the area.
- You should also try to avoid busy residential streets, which are overcrowded but choose an area where its houses area arranged in regular patterns with straight streets, scattered trees and low vegetation. Another step is to choose neighborhood that has signs of effective law enforcement and frequent patrols that is good to deter of any criminals.
- Check and make sure your residence comes with sufficient number of windows, secured bars, there is no hiding place for potential criminals within the house compounds such as trees and vegetation, physical boundaries like walls or fences, procedural boundaries like residential guard checkpoints as well as psychological boundaries such as shrubbery or flower beds.
- To have perimeter security to the residence itself whether for its inner grounds (to use thorn plants below window, culverts, sewers, storm drains and duct systems) or outer perimeters that include fences, walls and bushes.
- Well-trained large dogs should also be considered as an alarm system because it is normally protective animal that will detect, deter and delay any intruders from breaking into your residence. A barking dog is always a first line of defense against intruders and much effective for protection.

Alarm sensor also is a good device to be installed on doors and windows because it is an effective deterrent when there is any intrusion or break-in.
- The rooftop of your house should also be protected for example roof hatches, skylights, air-conditioning system, air-purification devices and access ladders, plus you should have mounted CCTV cameras on your rooftop that will add more security to the area so that your security personnel will be able to view images of the areas.
