What is close protection?

Close protection consists of ensuring the physical security of an individual through the presence of one or more qualified agents by their side. Its purpose is to prevent and neutralise any direct threat to the physical integrity of the protected person.

At Imperium Private Protection, every close protection mission is preceded by a threat-level assessment, route analysis and a full team briefing. We do not improvise — we anticipate.

Our agents operate with maximum discretion. Their presence is adaptable: visible for deterrence purposes, or completely discreet according to your preferences and mission context.

Your questions, our answers

How many agents do I need for my protection?

The number of agents depends on your risk profile, activities and environment. A prior assessment defines the optimal arrangement — from a single discreet agent to a full team.

Are agents uniformed or undercover?

Depending on your preferences and threat level, our agents can operate in visible professional attire (deterrence effect) or in completely discreet plainclothes for invisible protection.

Can I benefit from one-off protection (a single event)?

Yes. We offer one-off protection missions for an event, a trip or a period of heightened risk, with no long-term commitment.

Are your agents authorised to carry weapons?

Our agents operate strictly within the framework of French legislation. Carrying a weapon is subject to specific prefectural authorisation. We scrupulously comply with all applicable legal provisions.

Is the confidentiality of my situation guaranteed?

Absolutely. Each mission is governed by a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The identity of our clients is never communicated to third parties.
