We provide specialist residential security, chauffeured protection and dedicated security driver services for executives, families and individuals, addressing the personal and business security challenges of an unpredictable world. Every close protection team is built around the specific threat profile, lifestyle and privacy requirements of the client, rather than a standard, one-size-fits-all package.
Octaga was closely involved in shaping the British Standard for close protection with the BSI, and consulted on the development of the SIA close protection licence, a level of industry involvement held by very few providers nationally. That depth of expertise carries directly into how our teams are selected, trained and deployed.
Operating from our Hereford headquarters and regional office, our close protection and residential security teams are positioned to respond quickly, whether the requirement is a single officer, a dedicated residential team, or full protective coverage for international travel.
Individual and team-level protection for executives and high-profile individuals, tailored to each client’s risk profile and lifestyle.
Dedicated residential teams providing round-the-clock protection for family homes and private estates.
Professionally trained security drivers combining discreet chauffeuring with advanced protective driving skills.
Protective coverage for public appearances, travel itineraries and high-profile events, in the UK and internationally.
Advance threat assessments and route planning to identify and mitigate risk before it materialises.
Coordinated protection details for clients travelling or operating outside the UK, drawing on a trusted global network.
Our close protection teams are drawn from backgrounds in UK Special Forces, policing and government protective services, giving clients confidence built on real operational experience rather than a uniform alone.
Octaga provides dedicated teams of SIA-licensed Close Protection Operatives and drivers on a 24/7, 365-day basis to support the security and protection of a UHNW residential estate in the UK and abroad.
Our team provides a discreet, professional and highly attentive security presence, overseeing the day-to-day security of properties, VIPs and estates, ensuring the integrity of the residence and the occupants’ safety are maintained at all times. Key responsibilities include CCTV monitoring, access control and regular security patrols, together with the management of visitors, contractors and deliveries attending the property.
The team also operates and monitors the residence’s integrated electronic security systems, including intruder and fire alarms, as well as personal panic alarms. Any alarm activations, incidents or concerns are identified promptly and managed in accordance with established procedures, ensuring an appropriate and timely response.
The service is designed to provide the client and their family with complete confidence that the estate, its occupants and valuable assets are protected by a highly professional security team operating continuously, while maintaining the highest levels of discretion, confidentiality and service.
Octaga was directly involved in developing the British Standard for close protection with the BSI, and in consultations that informed the SIA’s close protection licence. That standards-setting experience shapes how every close protection and residential security team is trained and deployed today.
Whether you need a single protection officer or a full residential security team, we’ll build a solution around your circumstances, in complete confidence.
