In any hostile crisis, journalists and media teams face grave danger from both sides of the divide as they operate on the ground. Our job is to mitigate risk, keep them safe and support their daily operations. Our multilingual operatives are experienced in working in remote and hostile environments. Their knowledge of local cultures, customs and access to critical intelligence makes them an indispensable asset to journalists and media organisations worldwide.
At the onset of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, we were approached by six different international broadcasting channels and tasked with providing their journalists and media teams with protection and mission support services. We accepted the tasks, laid out the operational framework and have been on the ground in Poland and Ukraine, providing their journalists and media teams with a host of services, including security, logistics, medical aid, intelligence, access and extraction.
Our good reputation comes from our many years of field experience and excellent service delivery. Let us be of service to you.

ex·trac·tion | \ ik-ˈstrak-shən – noun
In security tactics, extraction (also known as exfiltration or exfil for short) is the process of removing personnel when it is considered imperative that they are immediately relocated out of a hostile environment and taken to an area either occupied or controlled by friendly personnel.
EPM Global is the leading expert in both friendly and hostile extractions. Our operatives are experienced ex-service personnel with a wealth of field experience working around the globe.
Our intelligence-led approach, access to local support, and thorough planning are the key to our success and impressive record.
EPM has been on the ground in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion after being approached by several international organisations and tasked with providing security and extraction services for their personnel. We accepted the tasks, set up the necessary operational framework, and kicked into action.
Our specialist, hostile environment security operatives, arrived in Ukraine on the first day of the invasion and have been working 24/7 to extract personnel and transport them to the Polish border. We have also been on the ground securing critical assets such as files, servers, and hardware on behalf of these organisations.
Under the leadership of EPM’s extraction expert, Partner, and Chief Liaison for International Services, Mick James, our network of highly experienced close protection operatives supported by our local liaisons, fixers, and drivers have quickly established EPM Global as the leading extraction service provider in Ukraine.
With our services in high demand, we have swiftly opened a dedicated Ukraine Crisis Response Office in Poland. Our teams are at hand to extract your personnel and their families as well as secure your organisation’s critical assets. Please be at liberty to contact us here for your security, extraction, and support needs.
