Close Protection Operations
It’s time to change – We can assure you satisfaction
We have been responsible for countering covertly organized threats to people, property, and assets on a national and international scale. We also provide security advice to a range of other organizations, helping them reduce their vulnerability to threats.
HSS close protection operations are managed largely by former Service Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers and we are extremely committed to ex HM forces and enforcement agencies.
We are of the opinion that the highest quality of service delivery can only be achieved through a partnership client relationship, where trust in the provision of service is implicit and delivery is a seamless part of the client’s own lifestyle. Our passionate commitment to high-quality client/principal care is a key company value that encompasses our overall approach to ensure satisfaction.
HSS will never take shortcuts with the quality of our service provision or the management support of our contracts in order to cut costs.
HSS provides a complete security management service, reporting directly as assigned with regular updates, reports, and service evaluations. The service may include the planning, introduction, and implementation of a completely new security solution designed specifically for the client/principle. Alternatively, it may include restructuring and up-dating an existing operation that is failing to meet the needs of the client/principle.
Then followed by applicable research and security risk assessments; the unique and wholly appropriate operational requirement can be designed and calculated taking into account the client's profile, culture, and image to counter any threats, ideally without overly impinging into the Client’s private and family life.
In these turbulent times, the need for protection is unquestionable. To be safe is a heightened concern for all of us. Moreover, Criminal and dangerous activities take place all around us. It is no longer true that problems can arise just in the ‘bad parts of town’ or remote locations.
Qualified security is indispensable when it comes to personal protection. Every assignment has its own special needs and each one receives undivided attention.
