NSI approved companies operating in compliance with British Standard for Close Protection Services (BS 8507) ensure a structured approach to confidentiality, threat analysis and protection. They always employ close protection officers who have been trained to the SIA (Security Industry Authority) Level 3 Certificate for working as a close protection operative.

They will have attended training modules amounting to 140 hours and taken and passed the subsequent exam. Not only are officers trained to exacting standards for a range of key tasks from journey management to law and legislation and reconnaissance, they will also understand your requirements and those of your family. Don’t forget to ask about the level of professional indemnity insurance held by the company.
