Bodyguard (Close Protection Operative) refers to personal protection and risk mitigation measures taken to ensure the safety of executives and VIPs, or other individuals who may be exposed to elevated personal risk because of their employment, high-profile status, Ultra High Net Worth Individual (UHNWI), witness protection, affiliations or geographical location. We live in a world that’s threatened by criminals and terrorists. Some of the most influential people and HNWIs in the world are at a potential risk. Large companies, Government and Royalty, are symbolic of and associated with the well-being of National States and assassination or kidnapping of their owners or senior management for effect of financial gain is similarly seen as an attack on that Nation State.

The best protection for the client is the one that affords the suitable level of personal security with minimum intrusion to the client’s normal lifestyle. The key to establishing the correct level is what we refer to as 'Threat Assessment'. At Central Intelligence Close Protection our aim is to assess the requirements of a potential client, carry out a threat and risk assessment, and then advise accordingly and budget to suit an individual's needs. With our Close Protection Operatives' extensive real world experiences we aim to provide the highest quality service to clients who are looking for protection, whether it's at their residence, place of business, on their travels, whether it’s required 24-hour round the clock protection or during day or night, we are the right company for you.
