Highly Trained & Vetted Operatives
In the UK, security specialists are formally known as Close Protection Operatives (CPOs), but are often referred to by the public as bodyguards, whereas in the United States, Executive Protection (EP). Regardless of terminology, our CPOs operate far beyond the stereotypical muscle-bound unlicensed, untrained, uninsured 'celebrity' bodyguards you might find on social media.
Our Close Protection Operatives (CPOs) both male and female are all SIA (Security Industry Authority) licensed and drawn from distinguished backgrounds in the British Armed Forces (Ex-Military), Intelligence Agencies and Specialised Police Units. Many have served in elite units including the UK Special Forces (SAS/SBS) and Royalty and Specialist Protection (RaSP).
​
Every operative undergoes rigorous screening and vetting in compliance with British Standards: BS8575, this includes identity verification, employment history checks, residential verification, financial background screening, and enhanced criminal record (DBS) checks so you can trust in knowing that the Close Protection Operatives (CPOs) providing your protection are fully licensed, vetted and screened with proven track records in high-pressure environments, extensive experience protecting UHNWI & VIPS and a history of professionalism, guaranteeing the highest standards possible for you.
​
Each Close Protection Operative is trained to operate decisively in complex and high-pressure environments and are trained in conflict management, risk mitigation, and hold advanced medical qualifications in First Response Emergency Care Level 3 (FREC 3) and above.
As mentioned above we also offer highly skilled female close protection operatives who can excel in providing discreet and unobtrusive protection, preferred by many of our clients for their ability to blend seamlessly into various social and religious environments, manage sensitive situations and family dynamics.​
​
Bespoke Security Service
Every client is unique and so are their risk profiles, lifestyles and operational requirements. Every engagement begins with a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to guarantee confidentiality after we conduct a thorough threat, risk and vulnerability assessment to design a fully bespoke security solution.
Our Close Protection Operatives integrate seamlessly into your daily routine and lifestyle, supported by a security case manager available 24/7 to oversee all operational and logistical requirements. From international travel coordination to itinerary management, every detail is managed with precision and discretion.
We are able to operate in any situation, offering both male and female overt and covert close protection operatives. Where discretion is paramount, our covert bodyguards employ low-profile protocols to remain unobtrusive while maintaining a security presence at all times even when unnoticed by others.
​
Every assignment is carefully matched to your requirements, including operational background, language, gender, and dress code. Whether you require long-term protection or short-term travel security our approach remains individually tailored to you.
Brand Image and Reputation Management
Protecting your public image is crucial part of security. Our Close Protection Operatives (CPOs) are skilled in media management and public interaction, ensuring you are always seen in the best light. We proactively manage your exposure to maintain favourable public perceptions, safeguarding your reputation and image.
Our operatives are also trained to handle interactions with the press, paparazzi and general public, ensuring that your private moments remain private and that any media or public engagement is conducted on your terms. By expertly managing these aspects, we help you maintain a positive public image while protecting your personal life from unwanted attention.
Confidentiality, Data Security & Insurances
As mentioned above, every engagement begins with a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to guarantee your privacy and confidentiality. This is also signed by our operatives who are trained to handle all situations with the utmost discretion, ensuring your personal details remain confidential at all times.
​
Maintaining your privacy in every aspect is paramount. We handle all personal and security-related information with the utmost confidentiality. Adhering to GDPR regulations and as members of the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), we implement data protection measures to safeguard all your information. Privat Security is also fully insured, maintaining Professional Indemnity, Public Liability and Employers’ Liability cover across all operations.
Pricing and Cost Transparency
Investing in security is an investment in peace of mind, and much like insurance, prices can vary based on risk profile and other factors but typically the cost to hire a bodyguard is between £500-£1000 per day based on a 12-hour day, plus VAT and expenses where applicable while longer term contracts are often much cheaper per day.
We provide exceptional value through our bespoke security solutions, our transparent pricing model ensures that you are fully aware of the costs and benefits of every service we offer, eliminating any hidden fees and unexpected charges. This commitment to transparency allows you to understand the true value of your investment, ensuring you receive the highest level of protection and service with complete financial clarity and confidence.

Our Close Protection and bodyguard services are complemented by a suite of security solutions, including Residential Security, Security Chauffeurs & Chauffeurs, Private Event Security, Private Investigations & Surveillance as well as our Luxury Concierge & Lifestyle Management services.
