Close Protection Services
Close protection services are designed to safeguard individuals who may be exposed to heightened personal, professional, or public risk. Often referred to as personal protection or bodyguard services, close protection focuses on proactive risk management rather than reactive security.
Close protection operatives are highly trained professionals whose role is to ensure the safety, privacy, and freedom of movement of their clients at all times. Their presence allows clients to continue with their daily lives, business commitments, or public appearances with confidence and peace of mind.
Unlike standard security services, close protection is discreet, bespoke, and tailored to the individual. Every assignment is based on a thorough risk assessment, ensuring the correct level of protection without being intrusive.
What Do Close Protection Operatives Do?

Who Needs Close Protection Services?
Close protection services are commonly used by individuals who face increased exposure due to their profile, profession, or circumstances. This includes business executives, high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, public figures, diplomats, and families requiring enhanced personal security.
Protection may be required for short-term assignments such as events, travel, or public appearances, or as part of a long-term security arrangement covering daily routines.
Why Professional Close Protection Matters
Professional close protection is about prevention, not reaction. A skilled operative reduces risk through planning, awareness, and intelligent decision-making rather than relying on force.
Choosing experienced, licensed, and well-trained close protection professionals ensures that security is effective, proportionate, and legally compliant—providing true peace of mind without disrupting your lifestyle.
