The label “bodyguard” conjures the image of a muscular man dressed in black following the Principal like an intrusive shadow. The truth is that a modern, intelligent Close Protection Officer works harder to identify vulnerabilities in the Principal’s diary to ensure the opportunity to predict and therefore attack that person is not possible. Journey management and unpredictability are considered instrumental in ensuring the security of the Principal. When an office or residence are known, and therefore predictable, this cannot be achieved and so a full threat and vulnerability risk assessment will enable the appropriate implementation of physical and technological security measures that will provide that added security.

Optimal Risk Close Protection planning encompasses all aspects of Security Risk Management to provide a security posture which is not intrusive, allowing a family to enjoy the lifestyle they deserve.
