While Executive Protection (EP) and Close Protection (CP) share core protective principles,
they differ in focus and application. Executive Protection is designed for corporate leaders and
decision-makers, emphasizing risk management, continuity, and low-profile security
integrated seamlessly into professional environments. Close Protection, by contrast, is tailored
for individuals and families facing elevated or dynamic threats, requiring more adaptive,
presence-based protection across travel, residences, public engagements, and personal
activities. Both services are delivered by experienced professionals, scaled appropriately to the
risk, and executed with the same standards of discretion, accountability, and professionalism.
