Frequently Asked Questions

What is the meaning of close protection security?

Close protection is much more than the physical presence of a bodyguard. In today’s ever-changing geopolitical world, the integration of advanced technology through 24/7 oversight and highly trained protection operatives means that any threat and changing environment can be anticipated and mitigated rapidly, discreetly, and precisely.

Anyone exposed to a threat or at risk can engage close protection security services. This includes global business executives travelling to high-risk destinations, high-profile figures booked for a public appearance, or perhaps high-net-worth individuals or private families seeking discreet security options. Close protection security ensures that every risk is assessed, monitored, and mitigated by highly-trained operatives with exact precision, providing complete security and peace of mind.

A close protection officer (CPO) is primarily responsible for the safety of the principal against personal, environmental, or situational risks. Their role begins before deployment with a protection risk assessment, continues with secure journey planning, discreet security protection, and rapid response in the case of any security breach.  At CGT Group, our CPOs are not only highly trained and disciplined, but also bring decades of operational experience and cultural awareness across the GCC region.
