At Dion International, we offer professional close protection services tailored to the needs of high-profile individuals, corporate executives, dignitaries, and other at-risk clients. Our experienced operatives are trained to deliver personal security with discretion, precision, and efficiency, whether at home, while travelling, or during public engagements.
Operating across the UK and international borders, our close protection teams are composed of former military, police, and security professionals who have worked in some of the most challenging environments around the globe. We assess risk, manage logistics, and implement comprehensive security strategies to ensure our clients’ safety, no matter where you are in the world.
At Dion International, we operate within all UK and international security regulations, adhering to the Private Security Industry Act 2001 and maintaining full compliance with SIA (Security Industry Authority) licensing requirements.
Every close protection assignment is conducted lawfully, ethically, and with complete discretion. Our operatives uphold the highest professional standards, focusing on prevention, situational awareness, and non-intrusive security management. We ensure that each operation respects client privacy, local jurisdictional laws, and international travel regulations.
This commitment to legal and professional excellence ensures that our clients receive the highest level of safety without compromising integrity, confidentiality, or reputation.
Close protection is essential for individuals or groups who may be exposed to elevated security threats due to their public profile, professional position, or personal circumstances. Our clients include high-net-worth individuals, CEOs, celebrities, diplomats, and international visitors requiring enhanced personal security while in unfamiliar or high-risk environments.
Corporations may also hire close protection teams for executives travelling abroad, attending high-stakes meetings, or facing potential threats. Legal professionals often request our services to support litigation proceedings or high-risk clients. Event organisers and VIP hosts may also rely on our operatives to manage security discreetly and effectively.
While our primary operational base is in Scotland, we also support select clients across the United Kingdom and international borders, ensuring consistent service quality wherever our expertise is required. Dion International delivers professional close protection services across Scotland and beyond, safeguarding clients through lawful, confidential, and effective personal security solutions.
Our close protection operatives are based in Scotland’s principal cities, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness, with the capability to deploy nationally and globally as required. Whether providing residential protection in the Highlands or executive security in London, our teams ensure discretion, precision, and professionalism at every stage.
With extensive regional knowledge and international experience, Dion International is trusted by private, corporate, and government clients worldwide who demand the highest levels of protection and service.
You should hire a close protection officer when personal safety, public presence, or professional duties place you at risk. If you are travelling to a region with heightened security concerns, attending a sensitive meeting, or facing direct threats, close protection provides peace of mind and proactive risk management.
Our services are also ideal during periods of increased visibility, legal disputes, or sensitive transitions. The presence of a skilled and discreet close protection operative ensures every aspect of your safety is planned, managed, and maintained without compromise.
At Dion International, we take pride in delivering comprehensive close protection services with integrity and professionalism. Contact us today to arrange a consultation and safeguard your personal security with confidence.
The duration of a close protection assignment depends on the client’s requirements, threat level, and location. Some clients require temporary protection for a single event or trip, while others need long-term security for ongoing business or public engagements. During the consultation process, we assess your situation and provide a tailored security plan with clear timeframes and costs.
We do not take on every case, only those where we believe our close protection services will provide genuine benefit and ensure meaningful results. This selective approach ensures that each operation is handled with professionalism, purpose, and absolute integrity.
We have a proven track record of delivering results for individuals, businesses, and high-profile clients across the UK. Our reputation is built on reliability, transparency, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations.
We combine real-world experience with a client-focused approach. Our team includes former British government agency personnel who bring both expertise and discretion to every task. We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution — everything is tailored to your current situation.
Close protection commonly known as bodyguarding, involves providing personal security to individuals at risk of physical harm, harassment, or targeted threats. Operatives are trained to assess danger, manage environments, and respond rapidly to emerging threats.
It is used for high-net-worth individuals, public figures, executives, and those facing specific risks due to their role, status, or personal circumstances. Close protection may involve one-to-one coverage or a full protective team, often integrated with journey management and secure logistics.
All services are delivered discreetly and professionally, fully compliant with UK licensing laws under the SIA (Security Industry Authority).
