Personal Protection
VIP Protection & Bodyguard Services
Discreet protection for individuals, families and delegations while they travel.
Confidential · no sensitive detail required · We work in English and French
What this covers
The scope, stated without ambiguity.
Scoping visibility
What stays private, what will be public, and what has to be anticipated because it will be filmed.
Reconnaissance of venues and arrivals
Artist entrances, press access, drop-off areas: the points where a crowd and a person meet.
Managing the approaches
Waiting, approaches, photographers: the work happens on the perimeter, before a situation becomes an incident.
Followed through the assignment
Coordination with the organiser, the venue and the team, and a coordinator reachable throughout.
What we do not do
We do not manage your relationship with the press and we do not control what gets published. We prepare approaches and arrivals; communications stay with you.
A specific requirement to cover?
Describe the context and a coordinator will come back to you with a suitable arrangement.
How it works
Four stages, from the first call to the end of the assignment.
A call back, not another form
A coordinator calls you to understand the need. At this stage we need no names, no addresses and no exact schedules.
What you receive
- Territory and approximate period
- Nature of the request
- One reachable contact
A shared picture of the ground
A detailed conversation with you, then reconnaissance on site. We check what is actually there, not what a plan says.
What you receive
- Reconnaissance of access and approaches
- Identified points of public contact
- Confirmed programme and timings
A document, not a promise
The written arrangement sets out who does what, where and when. You can read it, challenge it and have it approved internally.
What you receive
- Arrival and departure arrangement
- Discretion and distance instructions
- Hours, contacts and a clear price
One point of contact, start to finish
Everyone is briefed before deployment, then the same coordinator follows the assignment through.
What you receive
- Briefing before deployment
- Coordinator reachable throughout
- End-of-assignment report
Typical situations
Three contexts where this service applies.
A public appearance
An announced arrival, a crowd, photographers: the walk from vehicle to door is the critical moment.
A private stay
A discreet presence across several days, with no visible signal that anything is being protected.
A shoot or production
Open locations, a large crew, long hours — and one person to protect in the middle of it.
Illustrative scenarios — not client references, and no outcomes claimed.
Regulatory framework
UPP designs, sizes and coordinates every security arrangement — from initial scoping to assignment follow-up. Regulated work is carried out by providers authorised in each territory.
How do you handle photographers?
By preparing the approaches: drop-off points, waiting times and alternatives. Confrontation is a failure of preparation, not a method.
Does the arrangement attract attention?
A visible arrangement attracts attention; that is mechanical. It is why a low profile is the default format.
Do you work with the organiser?
Yes. A VIP arrangement that ignores the production, the venue and the event's own security creates more friction than it resolves.
What do you need from us to start?
Territory, an approximate period and a contact. Identities and the exact programme are handled afterwards, by phone.
