A trusted leader in providing specialized solutions to international challenges, Virtual Defense & Development International, Inc. (VDI) is the industry’s most trusted provider of client-centered specialized security services. For over a decade, VDI has achieved success by making full use of its extensive relationships with key foreign leaders to forge a competitive edge for its clients. VDI has a proven track record of providing its corporate clients with increased profitability abroad and protection of company resources throughout the project life cycle, from initiation to completion. VDI is there to develop and manage a comprehensive security program to protect the client’s investment.

VDI has been equally successfully in helping troubled nations transition from a wartime footing to peacetime by helping embattled governments organize and reorient their security services and restore their hard-currency-generating industries. VDI has won security-related contracts from several nations as a result of its well-known and respected international background and experience. VDI enjoys a favored status in many nations in which leaders have deputized VDI officers to negotiate with other reputable companies that are interested in establishing or augmenting their in-country operations. VDI’s focus is on direct negotiation rather than the cumbersome proffer-tender process. This minimizes the time between identifying a requirement and having a comprehensive solution in place.

If your company is looking to expand its operations abroad, has an existing operation abroad but lacks an adequate security program, or is currently facing a difficult security incident, we encourage you to contact VDI to discuss your security requirements.

If you are a government wishing to rebuild after conflict, we encourage you to contact VDI to discuss priorities and gauge how we might help you quickly rebuild your economy and restore the institutions necessary to provide security and encourage investment.

VDI was founded and is managed by former senior officials from the Central Intelligence Agency and counts among its staff accomplished retirees and long-term employees from the defense, security, intelligence, commerce, diplomatic, National Security Council, and business sectors. VDI is engaged in all major regions of the world and has an impressive coterie of international decision-making contacts that helps us meet our clients’ requirements. VDI abides by federal anti-corruption statutes and emphasizes the use of influential contacts, non-public information, and operational experience to do our job quickly and efficiently. VDI’s security-related contracts are fixed-price for easy management to eliminate repetitive minor invoices. Our contracts are clearly written and include "deliverables" for easy benchmarking of progress and accountability. VDI’s business development contracts with corporations are designed to share the risk with the client. We seek a retainer to cover expenses and a reasonable profit as well as a success bonus based on the value of the contract--but only if won. We encourage contracts for a determined time period, whereby we either produce results or the contract expires. We welcome delicate, problematic challenges in difficult parts of the world.
