Security Services – Close Protection & Tactical Security
Praesidio Group provides comprehensive personal and operational security solutions for individuals, organizations and events worldwide. Our Close Protection teams ensure clients’ safety through secure transportation, residential and event security and professional bodyguard services. Every assignment begins with a detailed risk assessment and the development of a customised security plan. Our highly trained personnel – supported by advanced surveillance and communication technologies – maintain constant vigilance, allowing clients to live and work with confidence and peace of mind.
Close Protection & Personal Security
Praesidio’s Close Protection services are designed for clients who operate in high-risk, high-visibility or sensitive environments. We provide discreet bodyguard teams, secure drivers and residential security measures tailored to the client’s profile, itinerary and threat landscape. Before any deployment, we conduct a thorough risk assessment covering routes, venues, stakeholders and potential threat actors. Based on this, we develop a customised security plan that defines roles, procedures, contingency options and communication lines – so protection remains effective without becoming intrusive.
Event & Sports Security Management
With extensive international experience, Praesidio has managed security for major events including state visits, NATO summits, COP, the Olympic Games and high-profile corporate or private functions. We handle every aspect of Event and Sports Security Management, from emergency planning and crisis response to risk mitigation, staff vetting, crowd control and technical security deployment. 
Our teams also provide specialised training and advisory services to event organisers, venue owners and in-house security staff. The goal is seamless, safe and professional event operations – where security measures are robust, but the experience for guests remains calm and controlled.
Physical & Tactical Security
Our Physical and Tactical Security specialists deliver comprehensive protection for corporate facilities, government entities, embassies and private clients. We conduct full security assessments of sites and critical infrastructure, identifying vulnerabilities in access, surveillance, perimeter protection and emergency procedures. Praesidio designs and oversees the implementation of advanced systems such as alarms, barriers, sensors and access control, and manages highly trained guard forces skilled in patrolling, emergency response and client engagement. Each solution is tailored to create a secure yet welcoming environment that supports everyday operations rather than disrupting them.
Surveillance Detection & Technical Security
Praesidio’s Surveillance Detection and Technical Security experts identify and neutralise unauthorised monitoring, including hidden cameras and listening devices. Acting as the client’s “eyes and ears”, our teams detect, assess and report hostile surveillance activity while maintaining strict compliance with all legal standards.
Services include technical sweeps of offices, residences, vehicles and meeting venues, as well as surveillance detection on the move. The objective is to ensure that sensitive information, conversations and environments remain protected – and that potential threats are identified before they escalate.
Risk Response Services (RRS)
Our Risk Response Services (RRS) combine crisis management expertise, diplomatic and political insight and operational knowledge drawn from intelligence and law enforcement experience. We support clients across preparedness, response and recovery phases, enabling effective navigation through complex and high-pressure situations anywhere in the world.
RRS can be engaged in connection with elevated threat levels, significant events or ongoing security concerns, and can be integrated with Praesidio’s wider consulting, close protection and tactical security capabilities.
From Everyday Presence to High-Risk Operations
Close protection and tactical security are most effective when they are integrated with the client’s everyday reality. For some, that means a low-profile presence around the office, home and travel routines. For others, it means robust, visible measures around high-risk events, large crowds or sensitive negotiations.
Praesidio’s Security Services are designed to scale across that spectrum – from discreet day-to-day support to fully integrated security operations around major events and missions. If you want to review your current protection setup, understand where you may have blind spots or prepare for an upcoming event or deployment, Praesidio can provide an independent assessment and a concrete plan.
Reassessing your protection needs
Security and protection needs rarely announce themselves clearly. Some clients live with elevated risk for years without incident; others experience a sudden change in visibility, travel patterns or public exposure. Effective close protection and tactical security are not about heavy-handed measures – they are about the right level of discreet support around your everyday reality.
Praesidio’s security teams can help you review your current setup, upcoming events and travel, or changes in your personal or organizational risk profile. The goal is not to oversell protection, but to right-size it: enough to make a real difference, never more visible than necessary. If you want to explore your options before a situation escalates, you are welcome to contact Praesidio Group for a confidential conversation.
