At SP & I (PTY) Ltd we assist individuals, businesses and larger corporation to mitigate risks that emanate from political turmoil, terrorism and criminal syndicates. We develop effective strategies that incorporate our team of specialists with available technology to provide bespoke solutions to our clients. We assist our clients with stabilizing their immediate environment while protecting lives, assets and infrastructure. One such strategy is to deploy Close Protection Officers (CPO).

Close Protection refers to risk mitigation and security measures designed to ensure the safety of individuals and their families while at home or traveling to unknown cities. Our Close Protection Officers (CPO’s) at SP & I (PTY) Ltd are sometimes also referred to as Bodyguards, VIP Protection or Executive Protection. All our CPO’s are highly trained individuals that form part of the specialized security sector in South Africa. Our CPO’s keep people safe from physical harm, unwanted attention as well as managing reputational risk of our client.

A typical day for our Close Protection Officer (CPO) would consist of conducting risk assessments on our client, preparing travel plans including the risk matrix of the area our client would be traveling to, planning daily routes travelled to and from meetings, pre-searching rooms and buildings where our client will be visiting, researching the backgrounds of people that will have contact with our client, searching vehicles, escorting our client on their day-to-day activities, providing social media exposure reports to monitor for any reputational risks to our client on social media. In the event of an emergency, our CPO’s priority will always be to evacuate our client, rather than engage with threats.

With the fast-paced business climate of today, many of our clients find it comforting to partner with SP & I (PTY) Ltd. We have fast become a valued specialized security service provider to many corporate companies in South Africa, as well as clients in the manufacturing sector, retail sector and the film industry. Our company is dedicated to providing informed advice and quality service with discretion and professionalism forming the corner stone of the company.
