We develop your security concept – tailored and confidential
At RH Security, every security measure is tailored to your specific situation.
Regardless of whether contact is established via your executive assistant, your family office or directly with you, every engagement begins with a personal consultation.
I personally take the time to gain a detailed understanding of your risk situations. The more intensive our exchange of information, the more precisely and tailor-made I can design the practical implementation for you with my staff.
Our work is centered on thorough situation assessments, robust operational planning and clear, well-structured procedures.

Personal protection abroad: Security across borders
Many of our clients live and work internationally: they commute between Germany and additional residences, travel to trade shows and conferences, or are on tour as artists.
As a German private security provider for personal protection abroad, we accompany our clients throughout Europe and worldwide.
We also protect international guests during their stays in Germany.
Physical security for KRITIS operators and defense companies
With the NIS2 Implementation Act (NIS2-Umsetzungsgesetz) and the KRITIS Framework Act (KRITIS-Dachgesetz), the bar for physical security is rising.
We complement your existing security provider as an independent second line of assurance for facilities, assets, and key personnel, for example through:
- Personal protection for executives and key staff
- Security escort for high-value assets
- Additional preventive facility-security controls and physical penetration tests

FAQ about personal protection
When is professional personal protection advisable?
Personal protection is advisable when there is an elevated threat level, for example due to public visibility, business decisions with a high potential for conflict, known wealth or specific threats. In an initial consultation, we clarify whether protection measures are appropriate and, if so, to what extent.
Do you also provide armed personal protection?
Yes, depending on the threat situation. Whether an armed deployment is appropriate and necessary is something we determine together with you as part of the security planning.
Do you also provide personal protection services abroad?
Yes. We accompany our clients on trips and during extended stays abroad. Depending on the destination, we plan deployments with our own teams or in cooperation with vetted local partners and always take the legal requirements of the respective country into account.
Do you provide personal protection for children (kid guarding)?
Yes, particularly as part of family security offer. We make sure that protection interferes as little as possible with the children’s freedom and developmental space and stays as unobtrusive as possible.
What does a typical engagement look like?
At the beginning, there is a confidential conversation and a risk analysis. Based on this, we develop a protection concept that fits your situation, your daily life and your sense of security. Then we do assemble the team and begin implementation.
