Close Protection is a tailored security service that provides physical and situational protection to individuals at heightened risk - delivered by trained professionals who remain discreet yet alert at all times. So, if you’re asking the question, the answer is likely: now.
Close Protection isn’t just for celebrities or heads of state. It’s for anyone whose lifestyle, schedule, or visibility puts them at risk. That includes executives with predictable routines, high-net-worth individuals with public profiles, or families who travel frequently and visibly.
But here’s the truth: most real threats don’t announce themselves. And by the time something feels off, the window for prevention may already have closed.
At VIS Protection, Close Protection means much more than bodyguards. It’s an intelligence-led, proactive service. Our ex-military professionals blend seamlessly into your environment - watching the margins, tracking behavioural cues, and discreetly neutralising potential risks.
No flashing lights. No entourage. Just quiet, constant assurance.
Why you might need Close Protection:
You’ve been receiving unwanted attention online or in person
Your home address or travel plans have been publicly shared
Your work involves public appearances, sensitive negotiations, or media coverage
You’re responsible for others who may be seen as high-value targets (partners, children)
If any of this feels familiar, you don’t need to panic - but you do need a plan.
We operate across the UK and Ireland with a focus on discretion, trust, and prevention.
