Close Protection is in the core of EPM’s operations. We provide world class Close Protection Operatives (CPOs) domestically and internationally.
We build resilient prevention plans and protect against threats such as privacy exploitation, intimidation, harassment, humiliation, theft, extortion, kidnapping, ransom seeking, physical assault, and murder.
We pride ourselves in highest standards in Safety and Quality Assurance, therefore we attract the best talent in the market. We have a team of multi-lingual male and female CPOs, who all passed a complex and thorough pre-employment assessment. They are all highly trained, vetted with years of exemplary service from backgrounds such as military, law enforcement, royal and diplomatic protection, government security services and private VIP protection.
We continuously invest in the training, as well as personal and professional skills development of our all our team members to ensure their high levels of personal engagements in projects and missions we assign them with.
We work for clients who need the highest clearance professional Close Protection. Amongst our valued regular clients, we have executive profile individuals, families, celebrities and professionals working in hostile environments such as media reporters and NGO workers. We take on both long term support projects, as well as one off missions. You can find some of the testimonials here.
We are fully compliant with the legal framework underpinned by the Private Security Industry Act 2001.
Our close protection services reflect the standards required in the British Standards BS8507 – code of practice for close protection services.
Our recruitment and vetting processes also embrace BS7858 which sets a British Standard for vetting around individuals who are to be employed in an environment where the security and safety of people is a requirement.
All our CPOs are licensed with the Security Industry Authority, police background checked in accordance with the law, first-aid trained and insured.

Our UK Safer Security accreditation underpins our compliance with British Industry Standards.
We only work with bespoke approach to our clients needs. Our process always starts with consultation and in-depth assessment. We consider all the factors; such as the circumstance, lifestyle, concerns, risks, and threats. We then create the individual Close Protection strategy (which includes the structure of the operations, protocols and all additional factors that came out throughout the assessment), only then we start the team selection process.
Our CPO profiles are carefully selected for each mission and project ensuring not only the full skills compatibility, but also the perfect match of characters and personalities for our client’s needs.
