VARG International Protection supports executives, public figures and individuals facing particular exposure with close protection tailored to their situation. Preparation, discretion and confidentiality are at the heart of our approach.
Personal protection adapted to your daily life
Close protection focuses on a person’s safety in their surroundings and during their journeys. It must take account of their exposure, constraints and activities. It is about more than a visible presence: preparation and adapting the support provided matter just as much.
We seek to understand your needs and propose a personalised service. The aim is to balance your professional or personal activities with your protection requirements while respecting your confidentiality.
Executive protection for business leaders and public figures
Executive protection applies close protection to professional responsibilities: meetings, public appearances and business travel. The level of support should reflect the person’s exposure and schedule, rather than a standard package. We discuss these requirements before proposing arrangements.
- Executives and business leaders: support suited to meetings and business travel.
- Public figures: consideration of their public exposure and need for discretion.
- Individuals facing particular exposure: assessment of protection needs arising from their circumstances.
Close protection and travel support
A journey involves coordinating schedules, locations and the conditions of support. These details help define the protection required and identify constraints to consider.
VARG also offers chauffeur services within its support and transport services. How these fit into a close protection assignment is determined according to your request. For international travel, specify the countries involved so that feasibility and the applicable framework can be assessed.
A needs assessment before your close protection assignment
A quality service starts with listening. We discuss your objectives, daily activities, expectations of discretion and the constraints of the assignment. This assessment helps define an appropriate level of support, the resources to consider and the limits of the proposed service.
Before the assignment, we clarify the scope, communication arrangements and practical organisation with you. The aim is to provide protection that fits your activities, with clear expectations on both sides.
Service quality and personalised support
Quality is reflected in preparation, professional conduct, punctuality and clear communication. We pay attention to your comfort, confidentiality and the continuity of your activities. The arrangements agreed with you guide the team’s conduct throughout the assignment.
Continuous improvement in collaboration with the client
Your feedback helps us improve the service. We review what worked well, any difficulties encountered and changes in your needs. For recurring assignments, these discussions help adjust the organisation and agreed priorities while maintaining appropriate protection.
When circumstances change, we discuss the implications with you and reassess the support required. This collaborative approach keeps the service aligned with your situation rather than relying on a fixed package.
Counter-targeting: a preventive approach to personal protection
Counter-targeting means paying attention to signs that a person may be the subject of unwanted attention or deliberate targeting. Within an agreed protection assignment, this preventive approach supports risk assessment and decisions about adapting the service.
It is carried out within the applicable legal framework and respects privacy. It does not guarantee the detection of every threat or the absence of risk. Any specific concerns should be discussed confidentially, rather than described in detail through the public contact form.
How should you prepare your enquiry?
At first contact, outline your general needs, proposed dates, locations and the duration of the support required. This information helps prepare a discussion and define the scope of the service.
Do not send detailed itineraries or sensitive information through the public form. We can agree suitable arrangements with you to discuss your requirements in greater detail.
Frequently asked questions about close protection
What is the difference between close protection and a bodyguard?
“Bodyguard” commonly refers to the person providing the support. Close protection describes the wider personal protection service, including its preparation and organisation.
Can I request one-off support?
You can present a one-off or recurring requirement. Duration, locations, constraints and availability must be assessed before the arrangements can be confirmed.
How much does the service cost?
Pricing depends on the scope of the assignment: duration, locations, travel and resources required. Contact VARG Protection to describe your needs and request a tailored proposal.
