Our Capabilities
Close Protection Services
Discreet, intelligence-led personal security across the UK
Protexus provides SIA-licensed close protection services in London and across the UK, delivering discreet, professional security for private individuals, executives, and high-profile clients operating in environments where safety, privacy, and continuity are essential.
Our focus is simple: to protect movement, routine, and lifestyle without disruption or visibility.
What is Close Protection?
Close protection is a specialist security service designed to protect individuals who may face elevated personal risk due to:
-
Public profile or media exposure
-
Wealth or business activity
-
Travel requirements
-
Specific or general security concerns
Unlike static security, close protection is mobile, proactive, and intelligence-led, ensuring threats are identified and mitigated before they escalate.
Our Approach
Every assignment begins with a structured assessment of the client’s environment, lifestyle, and exposure level.
We consider:
-
Daily routines and travel patterns
-
Residential and workplace environments
-
Public exposure and event attendance
-
Known or potential risk factors
From this, we design a bespoke protection plan aligned with the client’s normal way of life.
Planning is conducted in advance, allowing us to prepare routes, assess locations, and coordinate movement discreetly.
The result is protection that is present when needed, invisible when not.
