How We Work

It begins discreetly.

Every engagement starts with a single, confidential point of contact. You speak with our operations team directly — not a call centre — and the conversation is protected from the first message, under NDA, with nothing shared beyond the people who need to know. Most clients come to us through a trusted referral or their EA, and we are comfortable working entirely in the background.

You tell us where you are going, who is travelling, and what would make the trip feel effortless. We listen first, then advise. There is no obligation, and no detail leaves the room.

We understand the risk before we move.

Before anyone is deployed, we build a quiet picture of the assignment: the principal’s profile and preferences, the destinations and venues, movement patterns, exposure, and any specific sensitivities. This advance work is the single highest-value part of close protection — the threat you plan for is the one that never reaches you.

From that assessment we shape the brief: the level of cover, the team size, whether secure transport or concierge should be woven in, and whether the market and the law allow armed protection where it is warranted.

The right person, properly licensed.

Algoz coordinates protection through a selected network of vetted, locally licensed operatives — the SIA in the United Kingdom, CNAPS in France, SIRA in Dubai, and the equivalent authority in every market we cover. We match the profile to the principal: language, gender, cultural fluency, and specialism, from medically trained operators to former special forces and intelligence backgrounds.

Every operative is NDA-bound, background-checked and chosen for discretion as much as capability. See the full standard on our close protection page.

Everything is arranged before you arrive.

Routes are driven in advance, venues are checked, and timings are rehearsed. Where the brief calls for it, we integrate secure transport — a Mercedes S-Class for an individual or couple, a V-Class for a group — with a security-trained driver who is part of the detail, not a separate chauffeur. Concierge, residences, dining and access are coordinated so that protection enables the trip rather than constraining it.

One team, one plan, one point of contact — across as many cities as the itinerary requires.

Low-profile on the ground, and afterwards.

On task, the work is deliberately invisible: operatives indistinguishable from a PA or a driver, a standard day built around a twelve-hour operational window, and a structure that scales quietly with the threat. Indicative rates are set out transparently in our pricing guide, with the final figure confirmed on enquiry.

When the assignment closes, we debrief, and — for clients who travel often — we hold the same trusted operatives on a retainer so the next city is a single message away. Explore where we deliver: London, Paris, Dubai, Milan, Rio de Janeiro and beyond.
