Close Protection Services in Nairobi

When to consider close protection in Kenya

Security contexts vary. Al-Shabaab threats, targeted crime against expatriates, high-profile event movements, and corporate espionage are all scenarios where a professional CPO provides value beyond physical deterrence — through advance planning, route selection, and counter-surveillance that prevents incidents before they occur.

Unarmed CPO vs. Armed CPO

• Unarmed CPO — lower profile, well-suited for corporate environments, hotels, and routine executive movement. Licensed by PSRA.
• Armed CPO — requires PSRA licence and firearms permit. Deployed for elevated threat environments or high-value principal protection.

PSRA licensing — what buyers should know

The Private Security Regulatory Authority (PSRA) is Kenya's government body that licences all security companies and personnel. Only hire PSRA-registered firms. All security providers on Guesteas are verified for PSRA compliance before listing.
