IJM PRAESIDIUMCLOSE PROTECTION & SECURITY

CLOSE PROTECTION

Move through your world.
With confidence.

Discreet, intelligence-led protection for individuals, families and executives — shaped around your circumstances, movements and the way you choose to live and work.

Protection built around you.

Effective close protection begins with understanding the individual, not simply identifying potential threats. Your lifestyle, movements, responsibilities, environment and personal preferences all influence how protection should be planned and delivered.

We take the time to understand those factors before recommending the appropriate level of support. The objective is not to unnecessarily change the way you live or work, but to create a secure environment around you that allows you to continue with confidence.

Depending on the requirement, support may range from a single close protection professional through to a wider team and supporting capabilities.

DISCRETION

Present when needed.
Discreet when not.

Close protection does not need to dominate the environment to be effective.

We understand that clients may move between private residences, business meetings, hotels, restaurants, airports, public engagements and family environments. The level of visibility should adapt accordingly.

Our personnel understand when a visible presence is appropriate and when protection is better delivered quietly in the background.

PREPARATION

Protection starts
before arrival.

Preparation is central to the way we operate. Where appropriate, we consider routes, locations, timings, venues, transport arrangements and other factors that may affect the assignment before protection begins.

This intelligence-led approach allows potential issues to be identified early and appropriate measures put in place, reducing unnecessary exposure and allowing the protection team to respond effectively when circumstances change.

PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

Professional standards.
Carefully selected personnel.

Personnel deployed by IJM Praesidium are appropriately SIA licensed, vetted and insured, with advanced medical training appropriate to their role.

Additional personnel are selected according to the assignment rather than simply availability. Experience, qualifications, specialist capabilities, previous working relationships and suitability for the client and environment are all considered.

Where additional expertise is required, this may include personnel with experience or specialist training in surveillance, drone operations, hostile environments and other relevant disciplines.

PRIVATE ENQUIRIES

Start with
a conversation.

You do not need to know exactly what level of protection you require before contacting us. Tell us about your circumstances, where you need support and any concerns you may have. We can then discuss the requirement and establish an appropriate way forward.
