Secure Family Programme
Praesidio’s Secure Family Programme delivers tailored prevention, protection and action plans to safeguard families worldwide. Services include close protection, residential security consulting, background checks, travel security, secure nanny oversight, surveillance detection and 24/7 emergency assistance. Each service is customised to the family’s lifestyle, profile and security requirements, ensuring optimal protection and peace of mind.
Safeguarding families in an unpredictable world
Families today face a wide range of risks: public exposure, online visibility, travel to unstable regions, complex custody situations or simply a high level of attention due to professional or financial status. Many of these risks do not feel acute day to day, but they can escalate quickly when routines change, crises hit or information about the family becomes more accessible.
The Secure Family Programme is designed to give families a clear, realistic picture of their risk profile and a practical framework for prevention, protection and response. The goal is not to live in fear, but to maintain a normal life with a higher degree of awareness, preparedness and control.
Tailored prevention, protection and action plans
Every family has a different lifestyle, exposure and risk tolerance. Praesidio begins with a structured assessment of the family’s profile, routines, digital footprint, key locations and known concerns. On that basis, we design a tailored prevention, protection and action plan that can include:
• Close protection on a permanent or ad hoc basis
• Adjustments to home and residential security
• Guidelines for travel, social media and public appearances
• Clear procedures for incidents, threats or unwanted attention
The purpose is to create a framework that the family can live with in hverdagen – not en manual, der kun virker på papiret.
Home & residential security
The home is often the most important and most vulnerable environment for a family. Through residential security consulting, Praesidio assesses physical access, routines, visitors, staff and local conditions. We identify weaknesses and propose concrete improvements that can be implemented with minimal disruption to everyday life.
Depending on the situation, the Secure Family Programme can also include close protection at or near the residence, secure transport to and from school or work and procedures for deliveries, service providers and unexpected visitors.
Travel security & mobility
Many families travel frequently – for work, school, sports or holidays. Travel routines can create predictable patterns that are easy to monitor or exploit. Through the Secure Family Programme, Praesidio reviews travel patterns, destinations and typical arrangements and then defines travel security measures that fit the family’s profile.
These can include secure transportation, route planning, hotel and venue checks, and clear protocols for what to do if plans change abruptly or an incident occurs while abroad. The aim is to keep travel as simple as possible, while risk is managed proactively.
Nannies, staff & background checks
Trusted staff such as nannies, drivers, assistants and household employees often have access to both the family’s private life and sensitive information. Praesidio supports families with discreet background checks and vetting processes to reduce the risk of internal threats, leaks or exploitation.
Secure nanny oversight can include screening of candidates, clear role definitions and boundaries, and guidance on how staff should handle social media, photos, information about the family and contact with third parties. The objective is a safe, professional relationship where trust is backed by structure.
Surveillance detection & 24/7 emergency assistance
In some cases, families may be exposed to targeted surveillance, stalking or intrusive interest. Praesidio’s surveillance detection and technical security specialists can identify and neutralise unauthorised monitoring, including hidden cameras and listening devices, in homes, vehicles and other key environments.
Where risk is elevated, the Secure Family Programme can be combined with 24/7 emergency assistance. This allows the family to contact Praesidio at any time in the event of threats, incidents or situations that feel wrong, so the response can be coordinated quickly and calmly.
Rethinking family security
Family security is rarely a simple checklist. For many families, the real question is not whether risk exists, but how much of it they are willing to carry without a structured plan. Some live for years with heightened exposure without incident. Others experience sudden changes – a new role, a public case, a move, a divorce, a viral story – that shift their risk overnight.
The Secure Family Programme is built to support families through those shifts with calm, discretion and clear guidance. If you want to review your current situation, prepare for upcoming changes or simply understand your real risk profile as a family, Praesidio can provide an independent assessment and a concrete plan you can act on.
