Close Protection for Entrepreneurial Families, HNWIs and Family Offices
Wealth attracts attention – even the kind you don’t want.
Wealth, family name, and responsabilty of entrepreneurial families together create a risk profile that is virtually unknown outside these circles. Threats do not arise by chance, but usually stem from specific events: transactions that become public, public positions held by family members, inheritance disputes, or simply the visibility that comes with a certain lifestyle.
Renowned entrepreneurial families and family offices work with us.
Our Clients
Entrepreneurial families with their own family office
A Single Family Office centralizes the coordination of all service providers under one roof. Our role within this structure is clearly defined: operational execution with a direct reporting line to the Family Office Manager, coordinated with all relevant service providers.
Asset Owners & HNWIs
Investors, equity partners, successors to family wealth, and individuals who deliberately remain in the background.
Especially those who do not seek a public presence need a security partner like RH Security, which operates with the same secrecy.
Families with increased security needs
Children attending international schools or boarding schools, family members in public roles, stays abroad. When the family name is well-known and the next generation leads an independent life, vulnerabilities arise that cannot be addressed by considering individuals in isolation.
We protect your family system as a whole.
RH Security is an established private close protection partner for wealthy entrepreneurial families and their family offices. Unlike a traditional security company, we specialize exclusively in close protection, and this is precisely what our clients value: Our understanding of their structures, family dynamics, corporate interconnections, the sensitivity surrounding succession, and the right level of security that protects daily life without disrupting it.
Close Protection for Entrepreneurial Families & HNWIs – Our Services
Protection for Family & Children
Close protection and security escort services for family members, closely coordinated with security measures at the property. On normal days, we operate in such a way that the family is unaware of our presence. In heightened situations, we increase the level of protection without making it visible to the outside world.
Children attending private schools or boarding schools receive secure transfers and a protection that, upon request, can be invisible in daily life or deliberately visible.
Transfers, Travel & International Security Escort
Whether it’s trips to school, business travel, stays at vacation residences, or international travel: we plan routes, inspect locations in advance, and coordinate all transfers. For executives and shareholders with an elevated threat profile, we provide protection in both professional and private settings, including critical phases such as negotiations, restructurings, or high-profile decisions.
Executive Protection for Events, Public Appearances, Delegations
For corporate events, social engagements, or hosting delegations, we assess locations in advance, coordinate with organizers, and secure routes, access points, and escape routes. You remain in control, even when many people and interests converge.
Residential & Property Protection for Private Real Estate
We protect the environment in which you live: your private properties, from your primary residence to additional homes and vacation homes.
Depending on the situation, we secure your arrival and departure, monitor access and exit routes, and coordinate with house staff or property management.
Even when you are away, we incorporate the locations important to you into the security plan.
Armed Close Protection
When the threat level and legal framework require armed protection, we make this decision based on a thorough risk assessment. All our personnel are officially vetted in accordance with § 34a GewO and specially trained for these assignments.
In addition, our close protection officers undergo regular training in physical fitness, defensive driving, and the use of firearms.
Your Personalized Protection Plan
Confidential Initial Consultation & Risk Analysis
We begin with a confidential discussion with the relevant parties, whether business owners, family representatives, or family office managers. We clarify family structure, business circumstances, public perception, existing security measures, and specific concerns. The result is a comprehensive risk analysis.
A protection concept that integrates into your structures
Based on the analysis, we develop a customized protection concept tailored to your family, your business, and your desired level of visibility. This can range from occasional escort services to 24/7 on-call support with a dedicated core team. Where a family office handles coordination, we work directly with them.
Dedicated Teams & Ongoing Partnership
We deploy small teams that we tailor specifically to your family and your environment. Over time, a relationship of trust develops, allowing us to identify changes early and continuously refine our protection concept—for instance, during generational transitions, changes within the company, or new life phases for family members.

Complete confidentiality without compromise
Information about clients, security strategies, and operations remains internal, without exception. No reference lists, no public case studies, no external communication regarding ongoing or completed mandates.
Close protection that fits your lifestyle
Our guiding principle for every concept is that your family can live as they are accustomed to. Security measures should support family life, children, relationships, and personal freedom, not restrict them.
