Enquire
Spanish Licensing (Ley 5/2014)

Why protection in Madrid must be licensed.

In Spain, private security is governed by Ley 5/2014 de Seguridad Privada. A personal protection officer (escolta privado) must hold the official professional card (TIP) issued by the Ministry of the Interior; armed escort is permitted only for accredited escoltas under strict conditions.

Algoz coordinates protection in Madrid exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative TIP-accredited, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across Barcelona and Marbella.

Indicative Investment

What protection in Madrid costs.

As a guide, professional close protection in Spain is, in 2026, typically EUR 500–800 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.

Good to Know

Bodyguard in Madrid - Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Algoz rather than hiring a local security agency in Madrid directly?

Because vetting an unknown local security agency in Madrid yourself is where the real risk lies. Standards, licensing and discipline vary widely between firms, and a principal cannot tell a properly licensed, reliable operator from an underqualified one until something goes wrong in the field, when it is already too late. Algoz knows the Madrid market in Spain: we have already worked with these providers, vetted them and kept only the best. Engage us and we select the right team for your profile, brief them under NDA and supervise them closely against our own standard throughout - so you gain genuine local knowledge and full licensing without gambling on an untested agency. One accountable point of contact owns the outcome, and you are never left managing an unfamiliar vendor in a foreign city.

Is it legal to hire a bodyguard (escolta) in Spain?

Yes. Under Ley 5/2014 de Seguridad Privada, a personal protection officer (escolta privado) must hold the official TIP card from the Ministry of the Interior. Algoz coordinates only accredited Spanish escoltas, under NDA.

Can you arrange close protection for visiting principals in Madrid?

Yes. Licensed officers and secure transport cover residences, business meetings, shopping and events for visiting families, coordinated in Spanish, English and Arabic with discreet delivery.

Do you protect executives and diplomats?

Yes. Madrid is a centre of government and corporate headquarters. We provide discreet protection for executives and diplomats across meetings, official settings and social engagements.

Do you cover Salamanca and La Moraleja?

Yes. We provide residential security across the Salamanca district and the gated estates of La Moraleja, including access control and discreet presence.

Can you arrange secure airport transfers?

Yes. We provide fast-track VIP handling and secure transfers at Madrid-Barajas Airport, with close-protection officers as required.

Are your operatives licensed in Spain?

Yes. All operational execution is carried out by partners holding the required Spanish private-security licensing, fluent in Spanish and English.

Can the client choose the bodyguard they prefer?

In many cases, yes. Given sufficient notice, and provided the request can be accommodated without compromising safety, the client may select the profile of the operative, and in most engagements is offered this choice. It cannot, however, override our professional security assessment, which always takes precedence.
