Armed Close Protection Officers for High-Risk Missions Requiring Elevated Threat Response and Maximum Personal Security in Kinshasa, Goma, and Eastern Provinces
For clients operating in elevated threat zones across the DRC, including Goma, Beni, Bukavu, and wider eastern provinces, we deploy armed close protection officers capable of responding decisively to risks such as armed groups, targeted crime, roadside ambushes, and militia activity. These officers are trained in hostile-environment operations, protective driving, weapons handling, and emergency response, providing an additional layer of confidence for companies and organisations working in mining, energy, infrastructure, humanitarian, and diplomatic sectors. Our teams integrate route dominance, protective overwatch, vehicle hardening, and local liaison to create a secure operational bubble around high-profile principals, ensuring mission stability even in the most unpredictable conditions.
Discreet, Low-Profile Executive Protection for Diplomats, Corporate Leaders, and Technical Specialists Operating in Sensitive Political or Commercial Environments Across the DRC
When clients require low-profile, non-disruptive protection, we deploy discreet close protection teams trained to blend into the local environment while still maintaining comprehensive vigilance. This service is widely requested in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Mbandaka, and Matadi, where business negotiations, diplomatic meetings, and corporate transactions require confidentiality and minimal visibility. Our approach integrates surveillance detection, advance planning, local terrain mapping, stakeholder coordination, and real-time risk monitoring, ensuring the principal remains secure without drawing public or political attention. These capabilities are essential for NGOs, investors, and visiting executives engaging in sensitive discussions or field operations.
High-Level Journey Management and Secure Mobility Planning Supporting Safe Travel Between Provinces, Industrial Zones, and Conflict-Affected Areas of the DRC
Given the DRC’s diverse terrain, limited infrastructure, and periodic instability, secure movement is a critical component of executive protection. Our journey management specialists plan and supervise travel routes between major cities—such as Kinshasa to Matadi, Lubumbashi to Kolwezi, and Goma to Bukavu—and across rural or conflict-affected regions where threats are elevated. Each movement includes vehicle selection, driver vetting, movement intelligence, alternative route planning, and live tracking, supported by local security networks capable of responding to emerging risks. This ensures client travel is conducted with maximum awareness and minimum exposure, even in areas where roadside crime, militia presence, or civil unrest may pose operational challenges.
Embedded Protection Teams for Project Sites, Mining Operations, Exploration Missions, and Long-Duration Deployments in Remote Areas Across the DRC
For clients working in remote or high-value sectors—including mining, oil and gas, logistics, infrastructure, and telecommunications—we offer embedded close protection teams capable of providing long-duration coverage at project sites and field camps. These teams deliver 24/7 protective oversight, access control, camp security, asset protection, and movement coordination in regions such as Kolwezi, Likasi, Kipushi, Bunia, and Ituri Province. With deep local knowledge and constant communication with regional intelligence sources, our teams maintain a protective environment that stabilizes operations, safeguards personnel, and enables uninterrupted work in areas where local tensions and criminal threats frequently impact commercial activity.
Crisis-Escort and Emergency Extraction Support for Personnel Requiring Immediate Movement Out of High-Risk Zones Across Eastern and Central DRC
During periods of sudden threat escalation, including political unrest, militia advancement, or severe criminal activity, we deploy crisis-escort teams capable of rapid extraction and secure relocation. These teams specialize in evacuations from hotspots such as Goma, Beni, Butembo, Bunia, and border regions affected by conflict spillover. Using crisis routing, secure convoys, liaison with authorities, and contingency planning, we ensure personnel can be moved quickly and safely to designated safe zones or international borders. Clients benefit from coordinated support that reduces reaction times and prevents exposure during critical moments when mobility and security are most compromised.
Armed and Unarmed Protective Drivers Trained for High-Threat Roads, Hostile Environments, and Complex Logistics Movements Throughout the DRC
Our protective drivers—both armed and unarmed—are trained for mobility operations in areas where unpredictable road conditions, armed criminality, and regional instability require advanced skill sets. These professionals operate regularly along the key commercial and humanitarian corridors surrounding Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Goma, Bukavu, Bunia, and Matadi. Their training includes defensive driving, escape manoeuvres, risk detection, and tactical communication, enabling them to support seamless secure transport for executives, technical teams, visiting delegations, and VIPs. Their capability to identify threats early and manoeuvre safely through high-risk environments makes them an essential component of our wider executive protection framework.
Specialist Protective Coordination for Humanitarian, Development, and NGO Missions Operating in High-Risk Communities Across Eastern and Central Congo
We support humanitarian agencies, international NGOs, and development organisations with specialised close protection solutions adapted to the challenges of working in vulnerable or conflict-impacted communities. In regions such as Goma, Bunia, Beni, Bukavu, and the Kasaï provinces, our teams deliver risk-sensitive protection, community engagement guidance, secure route monitoring, and field-site coordination that enables safe but effective mission delivery. With a deep understanding of local dynamics—including rebel activity, social tensions, criminal elements, and communication challenges—we ensure humanitarian teams remain protected while maintaining the accessibility needed to fulfil their mandates.
End-to-End Executive Protection for Visiting Investors, Multinational Executives, Government Delegations, and VIP Dignitaries Requiring Secure Operations Across the DRC
International delegations, high-level investors, corporate boards, and government officials visiting the DRC require comprehensive protection that addresses both strategic risks and operational vulnerabilities. Our end-to-end executive protection service includes airport reception, secure accommodation selection, route planning, escort vehicles, protective overwatch, meeting security, and secure onward travel across cities such as Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Kolwezi, Goma, and Bunia. With a combination of armed teams, intelligence-led planning, local authority coordination, and experienced protective officers, we ensure principals can engage confidently in commercial negotiations, political discussions, or site inspections without exposure to unnecessary risk.
