Close Protection & Bodyguard Services
At Privat Security, we offer an exclusively bespoke Close Protection service, meticulously tailored to safeguard high-profile, high-risk individuals and affluent families. Headquartered in London, we provide close protection services across the UK but also internationally, ensuring your protection and peace of mind wherever you go.
In the UK, Security specialists are known as Close Protection Operatives (CPOs), but are often referred to by the public as bodyguards, whereas in the USA they are commonly known as Executive Protection (EP). Our Privat Security's Close Protection Operatives (CPOs) deliver far more than traditional bodyguarding services, providing the highest level of comprehensive security, security management and concierge for those with dynamic lifestyles, demanding schedules, including UHNWI’s, CEOs & Executives, Celebrities, Dignitaries, Royalty, and Heads of State.
We recognise that the highest level of security extends beyond just physical protection. It includes not only maintaining but enhancing your public image, ensuring your private life remains private whilst seamlessly integrating into the dynamics of your lifestyle and busy schedule. In today’s volatile world, personal security has become paramount for many and with the increasing complexity of security challenges, personal protection is essential to ensure your safety and the safety of your family in all situations.

Bespoke Security Service
Every client is unique, and so are their security needs. We conduct thorough threat and risk assessments to develop personalised protection plans tailored to your specific requirements. Our Close Protection Operatives integrate seamlessly into your daily life and an expert security manager will be available to you 24/7, handling all aspects of your itinerary, including but not limited to; travel and logistical planning, bookings and reservations and routine activities.
We are able to adapt to any situation, offering both overt and covert close protection services. Our overt security presence acts as a visible deterrent, providing a strong and reassuring presence. In contrast, our covert security employs advanced techniques and discreet protocols to remain out of sight whilst always delivering highly effective protection.
We tailor our services down to the finest details, including skill set and specialisations, the gender, language, and dress code of the operative, ensuring they fit perfectly into your security requirements. Whether you need long-term or short-term solutions, we offer flexible security options to suit your lifestyle. Our bespoke approach guarantees that you receive the highest level of personalised protection, aligned perfectly with your unique needs and circumstances.

We also offer highly skilled female operatives who excel in providing discreet and unobtrusive protection, preferred by many of our clients for their ability to blend seamlessly into various social environments and manage sensitive situations and family dynamics.
