Close Protection · UK-wideProtection for diplomats and officials. IGI Security Services delivers diplomatic security across the UK with SIA-licensed officers, 24/7.
Diplomatic security in your area — experienced protection for diplomats, officials and delegations, with protocol awareness and discretion.
Close protection (CP) is the professional protection of a person from harm, harassment or intrusion. It combines advance reconnaissance, secure travel, residential security and a trained CP officer or team who manage risk discreetly.
Executives, high-net-worth individuals and families, public figures, celebrities, diplomats and anyone facing a specific threat use close protection to move and live safely without a heavy, intrusive footprint.
We start with a confidential threat and risk assessment, plan routes and venues in advance, and provide vetted, experienced CP officers matched to you. Everything is discreet, professional and built around your privacy.
Close protection officers hold the SIA Close Protection licence and are vetted to the highest standard. Engagements are handled under strict confidentiality with documented risk assessments.
Every officer holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to BS 7858 — the recognised standard for security staff.

Comprehensive liability insurance and documented procedures for total peace of mind.
