Protection of Life and Assets

UK & International Close Protection

SGC Security Services provide professional close protection and executive security services for individuals, families and organisations across the UK and internationally.

Our trained and SIA-licensed Close Protection Officers deliver discreet, tailored security to help protect our clients, their interests and their assets. Whether you require a single officer or a dedicated protection team, we will develop a service around your circumstances and the risks involved.

SGC Security Services is an SIA Approved Contractor for close protection and delivers its services in accordance with BS 8507.

Overt and Covert

We provide both overt and covert close protection, depending on the level of visibility and security required. Our approach is tailored to each client and takes account of their personal, cultural, political and religious needs.

Our teams focus on protecting clients while respecting their privacy and daily routines. Depending on the assignment, they can help manage risks associated with stalking, unwanted attention, over-enthusiastic fans, political opposition and terrorism.

Confidentiality and Trust

We understand the importance of discretion and confidentiality. Many of our close protection clients return to us year after year, and we do not disclose confidential details of their assignments on our website.
