When one person is in the public eye, the whole family is visible.

From paparazzi sightings to location-tagged Instagram stories, the risks to family members are often overlooked - until it’s too late. For high-net-worth families, the need for security isn’t about drama. It’s about continuity, privacy, and peace of mind.
At VIS Protection, we work with families across the UK and Ireland who need security that doesn’t interrupt their lives.
Our Close Protection teams are all ex-military professionals who specialise in:
School run security without making a scene
Secure airport transfers and travel logistics
Silent threat detection in public or social settings
Coordinating with household staff and schools discreetly
Because when children are involved, the margin for error disappears.
What does family protection actually look like?
It looks like the driver who notices a tail car and adjusts the route quietly. It looks like the person at the school gate who blends in - but never switches off. It looks like someone scanning the crowd so you don’t have to.
We understand the stakes aren’t just physical. Security impacts family life, mental wellbeing, and your ability to feel at home.
That’s why our teams work quietly in the background to prevent exposure, avoid confrontation, and manage day-to-day routines safely.
