At Dion International, we provide expert protective surveillance services to ensure the safety and security of individuals, businesses, and high-value assets. Our team of highly trained surveillance professionals operates discreetly, monitoring potential threats while maintaining a low profile. Whether you are a high-net-worth individual, a corporate executive, or someone facing a credible security risk, our protective surveillance services offer a proactive approach to threat detection and mitigation.
Protective surveillance is an essential security measure that enables real-time threat assessment while allowing clients to maintain a routine without unnecessary disruption. Our specialists use advanced surveillance techniques to ensure that risks are identified and neutralised before they become active threats.
All protective surveillance operations conducted by Dion International are performed in full compliance with UK and Scottish law, ensuring that every activity undertaken is lawful, proportionate, and ethically justified.
Our operations are conducted under the Data Protection Act 2018, UK GDPR, and the Human Rights Act 1998, which together govern the lawful handling of personal data and safeguard individuals’ rights to privacy.
Protective surveillance differs from overt security and covert investigations, its primary purpose is the safety and security of the client, not intelligence gathering. All deployments are carefully risk-assessed, planned, and documented to ensure transparency and accountability, while maintaining complete discretion and confidentiality.
By adhering to these legal and ethical frameworks, Dion International guarantees that every protective surveillance assignment upholds the highest standards of professionalism, compliance, and personal safety.
Protective surveillance is crucial for individuals and organisations facing heightened security risks. High-profile individuals, executives, and celebrities use protective surveillance to safeguard themselves from unwanted attention, stalking, or targeted threats.
Corporate clients and legal professionals require protective surveillance services to enhance their personal security and ensure the confidentiality of sensitive operations. Families involved in contentious legal matters, such as child custody disputes or domestic concerns, may also require surveillance for protection against potential threats.
While Dion International’s headquarters are based in Scotland, we provide protective surveillance services across the United Kingdom and internationally for select clients.
Our protective surveillance teams operate throughout Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness, offering discreet and lawful protection tailored to every client’s unique threat profile.
With both regional expertise and national reach, Dion International delivers consistent, reliable, and confidential security coverage wherever required.
Protective surveillance should be considered when there is a known or potential threat to an individual’s safety, privacy, or well-being. If you are experiencing increased security risks, require discreet monitoring of your environment, or need an additional layer of protection without the overt presence of bodyguards, a professional protective surveillance team can provide a strategic security solution.
At Dion International, we tailor our protective surveillance services to each client’s specific needs, ensuring proactive security while allowing for minimal disruption to daily activities. Our team is committed to delivering discreet, effective, and highly professional security solutions to keep you safe at all times.
The duration of a protective surveillance operation depends on the threat level, duration of coverage, and operational environment. Some assignments may last a single day, while others require ongoing support over several weeks, months or years.
At Dion International, we assess each request individually and only accept cases where our services will provide genuine protective value and comply fully with UK and Scottish law. This ensures that every deployment is lawful, proportionate, and focused on client safety.
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.
Protective surveillance is a discreet security method used to monitor and safeguard individuals without overt close protection presence. Operatives remain covert while observing and assessing for potential threats, ready to intervene if necessary.
It is used when a client requires personal security but wishes to maintain a low profile—such as executives, family members, or individuals under threat who prefer minimal disruption to daily life. Protective surveillance is also used to detect hostile surveillance or pre-incident indicators.
This service offers a balance of protection and privacy, and is often integrated with travel security or close protection strategies.
