SIA-Licensed Executive Protection
Executive Protection Services
Executive protection is a specialist form of close protection for senior business leaders — CEOs, CFOs, board members and other executives whose profile, role or circumstances create a security requirement. It encompasses personal protection, travel security, advance work and secure transport, designed to allow executives to operate without disruption. VIP Protection Services provides SIA-licensed executive protection from London, across the UK and internationally.
We work with executives across sectors — finance, technology, media, private equity and professional services. Every assignment begins with a confidential threat and risk assessment. We advise honestly on the appropriate level of protection for your circumstances.

Confidential enquiry
Contact us by phone, WhatsApp or the enquiry form. All initial discussions are confidential. We sign an NDA before any operational detail is exchanged.
- 02
Threat and risk assessment
We conduct a threat and risk assessment specific to the executive — covering their profile, sector, public exposure, travel requirements and any identified threats. This informs the level and type of protection recommended.
- 03
Written quotation
We provide an itemised written quotation. There is no obligation to proceed. Costs depend on the assignment scope, duration, number of officers and any specialist requirements.
- 04
Briefing and advance work
Officers are fully briefed on the executive's schedule, requirements and any identified threats. Advance work is conducted for all venues, routes and accommodation.
- 05
Deployment
SIA-licensed executive protection officers are deployed. We maintain communication throughout the assignment and provide post-assignment reporting as required.
What affects the security requirement?
The appropriate level of executive protection depends on a threat and risk assessment specific to the individual. Factors we consider include:
- Public profile and media exposure of the executive
- Nature of the business and sector
- Any threats received or identified
- International travel requirements and destinations
- Involvement in high-profile transactions, litigation or disputes
- Predictability of movements and published schedules
- Family members requiring protection
- Residential security requirements
What affects cost?
We do not publish standard rates. Each assignment is assessed individually and we provide an itemised written quotation. Cost is influenced by:
- Number of close protection officers required
- Duration of the assignment — hours, days or ongoing retainer
- Complexity of the threat and risk assessment
- Advance work requirements
