Protection for people, homes and events
Every assignment starts with your circumstances. The level of protection follows the risk we assess — not a fixed package.
Close protection
Operations built around your daily routine, from advance planning through to incident response.
Executive protection
For directors, entrepreneurs and business owners — in the office, in meetings and while travelling. Includes threat and risk assessment.
Celebrity & VIP protection
A professional presence for artists, actors, sports personalities, influencers and VIP guests — with your privacy respected throughout.
Residential security
Security personnel, access control, patrols, visitor management and emergency-response coordination at home.
Event security
Weddings, concerts, launches and conferences: VIP protection, access control, crowd management, perimeter and guest screening.
Travel & movement
Airport transfers, hotel security, route planning and driver coordination while you travel within South Africa.
Risk assessments
We review your profile, locations, movements, transport, access points and emergency procedures — then build a plan from what we find.
