Armed Bodyguard in São Paulo
Less visible risk, more sophisticated.
São Paulo is South America's largest city and the economic engine of Brazil, home to the B3 stock exchange and the Brazilian headquarters of the world's largest banks and multinationals. Unlike Rio, its risks are less visible to the casual visitor but arguably more sophisticated.
Algoz provides elite bodyguard services in São Paulo through licensed Brazilian security professionals with corporate protection backgrounds, direct police liaison and deep knowledge of the city's complex urban geography.
For executives and HNWIs.
Express Kidnapping
Among Brazil's highest rates, targeting visible wealth and predictable movement.

Protection across São Paulo.
We typically mobilise a close protection operative within 24 to 48 hours of confirmation. For armed protection, standard regulatory processing applies.
EnquireWhy protection in São Paulo must be licensed.
In Brazil, private security is regulated by federal law (Lei nº 7.102/1983) and supervised by the Polícia Federal (DPF). Protection officers must be certified vigilantes, and armed protection requires specific Federal Police authorisation — it is not lawfully available through unlicensed or foreign operatives.
Algoz coordinates protection in São Paulo exclusively through licensed Brazilian providers, with armed details arranged only where authorised, every operative NDA-bound and bilingual.

What protection in São Paulo costs.
As a guide, professional close protection in Brazil is, in 2026, typically USD 450–700 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover, with the final rate confirmed on enquiry and no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.
