What is personal protection?

Personal protection in Edinburgh tailored to your routine — school runs, business, travel and social life kept safe without disruption.

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. Every personal protection assignment in Edinburgh is planned around your site, your risks and your budget — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Why Edinburgh businesses need personal protection

Edinburgh has its own security picture — the mix of premises, footfall and risk across Scotland isn't the same as anywhere else. We deploy officers who understand the area and tailor personal protection to what your Edinburgh site actually needs, rather than a generic template.

What our personal protection in Edinburgh includes

  • Tailored to your routine
  • Family-friendly officers
  • Secure travel
  • Low-profile approach
  • Confidential

Who we protect in Edinburgh

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. In Edinburgh, we work with clients large and small — from a single premises to multi-site operations across Scotland.

Signs you need personal protection

  • You've had a break-in, theft or incident at your Edinburgh premises
  • Your insurer requires a security presence or documented cover
  • Staff or visitors feel unsafe, especially at opening, closing or after dark
  • Your site is empty, exposed, or between occupants
  • You need cover at short notice or for a one-off situation
  • Anti-social behaviour, trespass or intrusion is a recurring problem

How our personal protection works in Edinburgh

Free site assessment

Tell us what you need in Edinburgh. We assess the premises, risks and hours to agree the right cover — with no obligation.

Written proposal & quote

You get a clear, no-surprises quote and assignment instructions in writing before anything starts.

Vetted officers deployed

SIA-licensed, BS 7858-vetted officers are matched to your site and briefed on your exact requirements.

Managed & reported

A named contact, monitored sign-in and regular reporting keep your Edinburgh cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.

SIA-licensed officers

SIA licensing isn't optional, and we treat it that way. Each officer working on your Edinburgh assignment carries a current, correct SIA licence for the role, and we can evidence it on request.

BS 7858 vetting & screening

Trust starts with vetting. Before an officer works in Edinburgh, we screen them to BS 7858: confirming who they are, their right to work, and a verified employment and character history.

Available 24/7 in Edinburgh

Security doesn't keep office hours, and neither do we. Cover in Edinburgh is available day and night, all year round, with someone real answering every call and message.

Rapid & short-notice response

Our Edinburgh response is built for urgency: a real person answers, we confirm what we can deploy and how quickly, and we get officers moving without the usual delays.

Professional, presentable officers

A professional presence deters trouble before it starts. In Edinburgh our officers are well-presented, alert and courteous, striking the balance between firm security and a welcoming face for staff and visitors.

Reporting & accountability

We back our officers in Edinburgh with proper reporting: attendance logs, incident reports and photo evidence where relevant, all available to you.

The technology behind our cover

Good security blends people and technology. Depending on your Edinburgh site we combine officers with monitored sign-in, GPS-tracked patrols, body-worn cameras and, where useful, CCTV and alarm response — for stronger cover and a clearer evidence trail.

Fully insured & compliant

Your peace of mind is covered — literally. We hold comprehensive liability insurance for all our Edinburgh work and can provide evidence on request.
