Professional personal protection in Old Street — from a single shift to fully managed, permanent cover, delivered by SIA-licensed officers who know East London.
Personal protection in Old Street tailored to your routine — school runs, business, travel and social life kept safe without disruption.
In Old Street, our personal protection sits within a complete close protection offering, so cover can scale up or down as your needs change. 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 location carries different risks, and Old Street is no exception. Whether you're protecting a business, a site, an event or a person in East London, our personal protection is planned around the local environment, response routes and the specific threats you face here.
Our Old Street clients range from independent businesses to national organisations. 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.

SIA-licensed, BS 7858-vetted officers are matched to your site and briefed on your exact requirements.
A named contact, monitored sign-in and regular reporting keep your Old Street cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.
Every officer we send to Old Street holds a valid licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA), the UK regulator for private security. SIA licensing is a legal requirement for security work — and we never deploy an unlicensed officer, whatever the pressure or timescale.
Our officers are screened to BS 7858 — the British Standard for vetting security personnel. That means identity, right-to-work, employment history and character are properly checked before anyone sets foot on your Old Street site.
We operate around the clock in Old Street. Whether it's a planned contract or an urgent same-day request, there's always a real person to answer, and we can often have a licensed officer with you quickly.
Emergencies don't wait, so we don't either. For short-notice cover in Old Street — after an incident, a failed contract or a sudden threat — we move fast to get an officer on site.
Whether uniformed and highly visible or low-key and discreet, our Old Street officers look and act the part — because how security carries itself changes how people behave around it.
You'll always know what's happening on your Old Street site. Shift reports, incident logs and monitored sign-in give you a complete, insurer-ready record of the service.
Our Old Street teams use the right tools for the job: real-time sign-in and check-calls, GPS patrol logging, body-worn video where appropriate, and integration with any CCTV or alarms you already have.
Full insurance is a baseline, not an extra. Our Old Street cover is backed by public and employer's liability insurance, with documentation available whenever you need it for a tender or contract.
A typical Old Street assignment might start with a call on WhatsApp, a same-day site visit, and a licensed officer on shift within days — sometimes hours for urgent work. From there, cover settles into an agreed rota with regular reporting, adjusted whenever your needs change.
There's no one-size-fits-all price for personal protection in Old Street: a single event shift costs very differently to 24/7 permanent cover. Tell us what you need and we'll come back with an honest, fixed quote for the work described.

Not sure whether personal protection is the right choice for your Old Street site? We'll tell you honestly. Sometimes a mobile patrol or monitored CCTV does the job at lower cost than a static officer — and sometimes only a full-time presence will do.
