Close Protection Partner Germany
For international Security Companies
Your trusted partner for Close Protection in Germany
As a trusted partner for close protection in Germany, RH Security supports international security companies and family offices with experienced Close Protection Officers and Executive Protection Specialists across the country.
Our teams operate in all major German cities, align with your operational standards and procedures, and ensure maximum security and maximum privacy for your principals.
I am Ivo Schendel, owner and managing director of RH Security GmbH. Together with my team of experienced CPOs, EP specialists and security drivers I personally oversee the planning and delivery of close protection assignments throughout Germany.
How we work with partners worldwide
Various companies engage us when they wish to hand over their clients to a local security partner for stays in Germany, e.g.
- International close protection and security companies
- Global security and risk management firms
- Family offices with clients travelling to Germany
- Companies with centrally organised executive protection programmes.
Whether it involves short-term protection at conferences or meetings, or your clients require full-day or multi-day close protection and chauffeur services.
In this arrangement, strategic responsibility remains with you as the international client and your network, whilst the operational side in Germany is handled by us as your ‘on-the-ground’ partner.
This client feedback summarises the benefits from the perspective of a global security provider:
„RH Security GmbH is the trusted partner of Global Guardian LLC, McLean, VA, U.S.A. (…) Without a doubt, we would not be as successful as we are without having Ivo and his team by our side in Germany. RH Security GmbH is a guarantee for mission success.“
That is precisely our aim: we work to ensure that your clients’ stay in Germany is a safe and successful experience.
An overview of our services: EP Germany, CPO Germany and Security Drivers
Executive Protection provided by our Close Protection Officers
Your clients receive professional close protection throughout Germany and, if desired, in other EU countries as well. Assignments are very flexible and cover visits to trade fairs and conferences, site and factory visits, investor meetings, roadshows and more. We also work for clients in the sensitive KRITIS, NIS 2 and defence sectors, as well as their suppliers.
The threat assessment and German law determine whether unarmed or armed protection is appropriate and allowed; as our partner, you will receive a clear recommendation and can make your decision based on this.
Security Drivers and Secure Transfers
Arrival, departure and other journeys are often the most sensitive phases of a stay. Our security drivers, who have a background in close protection, handle airport pick-ups and secure transfers between hotels, offices, meetings and events, as well as multi-day tours through various cities. For you as our client, this means: no need to organise local service providers, no uncertainty in your choice, but a well-coordinated, vetted local team and predictable processes.
Security Escort for families, HNWIs and VIPs
In addition to business trips, we also protect your clients when they are travelling for leisure. We provide secure protection for them or/and their entourage during excursions, shopping trips and cultural and sporting activities. We can adapt the visibility of our security presence to suit your needs, whether you want a low-key or a more visible presence.
Clear structures, structured communication
Prevention builds trust
Instead of working with several local service providers, hand over your CPO or security driver assignment in Germany entirely to us. We take care of the implementation and detailed coordination.
Our professional, preventive measures minimise the risk for your clients: Forward-thinking planning, precise route analysis and security briefings for every situation are standard practice for us.
Briefings & Reports
Seamlessly integrate our operations in Germany into your global risk and travel security processes:
We work with clear briefings, defined operational protocols and structured debriefing after the assignment.
Regular status updates during ongoing assignments ensure that the client’s operations and risk teams remain fully informed at all times.
Protection Levels based on the situation
Not every security concept in Germany requires or permits armed personnel.
The decisive factors are the nature of the threat, the individual’s risk profile and the legal framework.
As the client, we provide you with a detailed assessment of potential risks and a proposal for the appropriate protection strategy to aid your decision-making.
Personal, individual consultation
I will discuss with you personally the individual security requirements, the type of operation and the desired standards for your destination support in Germany. On this basis, we can jointly set up individual assignments or a recurring arrangement for Germany.
In most cases, we can deploy CPOs at short notice, ensuring rapid availability, particularly in and around key business hubs and airports.
We ensure that your clients in Germany receive exactly the level of protection they have come to expect from you.
I look forward to receiving your enquiry.
