Close Protection Services

What is Close Protection?

Close Protection, also known as executive protection, is a security service that ensures the personal safety of individuals who may be exposed to elevated risks due to their public status, wealth, occupation, or other factors.

It typically involves providing a trained security team to safeguard clients from threats such as physical attacks, harassment, kidnapping, or other forms of violence.

Close Protection professionals, often referred to as bodyguards, assess risks, create security strategies, and remain vigilant in the client's immediate vicinity to respond quickly to potential threats.

This safeguarding service is often used by celebrities, executives, politicians, and high-net-worth individuals.

Who would benefit from Close Protection?

High-Profile Individuals

Public figures such as celebrities, athletes, or social media influencers are often in the spotlight, which makes them targets for stalkers, overzealous fans, or potential attackers. Their visibility increases the risk of harassment, kidnapping, or other security threats.

Potential Threats: Stalkers, fanatical fans, media intrusion, extortion attempts.

Media and Journalists

Journalists covering controversial or dangerous topics—such as war zones, political corruption, or organized crime—are at risk of retaliation, kidnapping, and targeted attacks. Close protection is crucial for ensuring their safety while they report from hostile or unpredictable environments.

Potential Threats: Targeted attacks, abduction, hostile environment risks, government or gang retaliation.

Corporate Executives

High-level business leaders, particularly those in powerful or controversial industries (tech, finance, energy), are targets for corporate espionage, kidnapping, and political or activist backlash. Close protection ensures their safety during travel, public events, and high-stakes business meetings.

Potential Threats: Kidnapping for ransom, corporate espionage, protestors, disgruntled employees.

Royalty or Dignitaries

Royals and dignitaries, both national and international, are high-profile targets due to their influence, wealth, and political connections. They are at risk of assassination, terrorism, and kidnapping, especially during official visits and public events.

Lawyers, judges, and prosecutors, especially those involved in high-profile or sensitive cases (organized crime, corruption, terrorism), face threats from criminal organizations or individuals who may want to intimidate, harm, or influence legal proceedings.
