Discreet protection on the Italian Riviera.

Italian Licensing

Why protection in Italy is authorised by the Prefettura.

In Italy, private security is regulated under the consolidated public-security law (TULPS), with companies and sworn guards authorised by the Prefettura. Armed protection is tightly controlled, so most close protection is delivered unarmed, built on planning, presence and secure transport.

Algoz coordinates protection in Portofino exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative vetted, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across Porto Cervo and Milan.

As a guide, professional close protection in Italy is, in 2026, typically EUR 600–900 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover, with the final rate confirmed on enquiry and no obligation.

Good to Know

Bodyguard in Portofino — Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to hire a bodyguard in Portofino, and is it licensed?

Yes. Private security in Italy is authorised by the Prefettura under TULPS. Algoz coordinates only properly authorised Italian operators, so your detail is fully compliant.

How discreet is protection in a place as small as Portofino?

Very. In a harbour this small a minimal footprint is essential: a single discreet officer and a capable driver are usually preferable to a visible team, and our operators are selected for exactly that.

Can you coordinate yacht arrivals and tenders?

Yes. Yacht, tender and quayside coordination is central to a Portofino detail and is planned alongside the officer and any villa security.

Can you arrange transfers from Genoa?

Yes. Secure transfers from Genoa and reliable movement on the coastal roads are quoted alongside the officer.

Do you provide female officers for families?

Yes. Female close protection officers are available and well suited to family assignments through the summer.

Can the client choose the officer profile?

In many cases, yes. Given sufficient notice the client is usually offered a choice of profile, though it never overrides our professional security assessment, which always takes precedence.
