Training, meet & greet, field operations: a glimpse of our teams at work. Strength, precision and discretion, on every assignment.

Armed or unarmed, we tailor every deployment to the actual threat level, in France and internationally. Every mission receives a tailored quote, prepared after an initial conversation.
Select a service to see what it includes.
Close protection
A discreet presence, fully blended into your environment, for an effective protection detail without unnecessary exposure. A sensitive meeting, a trip, a period of heightened exposure: your agent accompanies you, anticipates and reacts without delay when the situation requires it.
- Agents

- Duration
- Tailoredfrom a few hours to several weeks
- Coverage

- Pricing
- On quotationset after risk assessment
Who it is for
Executives, managers, public figures, delegations, families and exposed private individuals, people receiving threats or going through a conflict.
What's included
- a risk assessment of your situation and schedule before the mission
- physical escort during your movements, on foot and by vehicle
- reconnaissance of venues and routes where useful
- evacuation to a safe place in the event of an incident
- a single agent or a team coordinated by a detail leader, depending on your exposure
- everyday protection for your loved ones: school runs, activities, holidays
- a debrief with you at the end of the mission
How it works
It all starts with a confidential conversation: your situation, your schedule, your concerns. A risk assessment is carried out ahead of every mission: the threat level, your movements and your environment determine the protection deployed. On the day, your agent arrives fully briefed: they know your schedule, the venues and the routes.
Alone or as a team
When exposure is high or the schedule is busy, we put together a team: a detail leader who coordinates, close protection agents and, where needed, an advance agent who checks venues ahead of time.
For families
When a family is under threat, we protect your loved ones day to day with agents chosen for their discretion, so that life can carry on as normally as possible.
Our approach
Reconnaissance of venues, travel planning, identification of risk situations and securing of arrivals and departures: our agents anticipate every step to limit your exposure. In everyday life as at events, they protect you in coordination with your teams and the people on site.
Quality commitment
Before every mission, your close protection agent carries out a full security audit and reconnoitres your routes. These preparatory services are provided free of charge.
Armed protection (A3PRA B & D)
Armed or unarmed, we tailor every deployment to the actual threat level. When a person's life is exposed to an exceptional risk, their protection may be provided by armed agents specifically trained in armed close protection. Every mission is prepared and carried out in strict compliance with the regulations, subject to prefectoral authorisation.
- Agents
- Tailoredbased on risk assessment
- Weapons
- Categories B and Dsubject to authorisation
- Coverage

- Pricing

Who it is for
People exposed to an exceptional risk to their life.
What's included
- a review of your situation, to check with you that the legal conditions are met
- the necessary applications to the administrative authorities
- vetted agents, trained and authorised to carry weapons, with regular training
- a deployment proportionate to the threat level
How it works
We first review your situation confidentially. If armed protection is justified, we start the authorisation process. Processing takes time, so the earlier you contact us the better. In the meantime, unarmed protection can be put in place.
Regulatory framework
Our operating licence covers the physical protection of persons, which may include category B and D weapons. Each armed assignment remains subject to authorisations issued by the administrative authorities, under the French Internal Security Code and Decree No. 2017-1844 of 29 December 2017.
Quality commitment
Before every mission, your close protection agent carries out a full security audit and reconnoitres your routes. These preparatory services are provided free of charge.
Chauffeur and secure transport
With Octa, our partner company, two levels of service. Premium chauffeur service: luxury vehicles, great discretion and an excellent knowledge of Paris and its codes, with drivers available 24/7 who plan every journey so that you arrive relaxed. Secure transport: drivers trained in defensive driving, anti-surveillance and emergency extraction, in executive vehicles, high-protection cars or motorcades, in France and abroad. Close protection on board remains provided by S.F.P.R agents.

Quality commitment
We assign two greeter agents to every Meet & Greet service whenever our availability allows. Only one agent is invoiced.
Event protection
A gala, a premiere, a trade show, a film shoot, a general meeting: at high-profile media events, the public figure is the centre of attention, which is precisely when they need protecting. We protect them from arrival to departure.

How it works
We obtain the venue plan and the running order, identify access points, sensitive areas and exits, then finalise the deployment with the organiser.
Good to know
Venue and crowd security (access control, surveillance) is the responsibility of a security company licensed for that activity, such as our partner DSP. Our role is the protection of persons: we work hand in hand with them.

You keep a single point of contact for all your requests.
In the field
Everyday protection, planeside meet & greet, regular training and, for your journeys, executive vehicles with our partner Octa.

Listen
A first, confidential conversation to understand your situation, your schedule and your concerns.
Assess
Profile, schedule, venues, threats: a risk assessment is carried out ahead of every mission. It determines the level of protection.
Plan
Number of agents, armed or not, routes, reconnaissance: the deployment is designed for you, and quoted.
Protect
Discretion, anticipation, reaction. An end-of-mission report, and adjustments where needed.
A strict framework, clear commitments.
Close protection is a regulated activity in France. Here is what you can count on.
