Discreet executive protection for business leaders, senior executives and private individuals.
Our elite team works seamlessly around your schedule, movements and professional commitments, allowing meetings, travel, events and everyday activities to continue with minimal disruption.

High-profile doesn’t have to mean high visibility.

As Canada’s capital, Ottawa welcomes diplomats, international delegations, senior business leaders and high-profile visitors from around the world.
242 PROTECT can provide discreet security around meetings, official engagements, events, accommodation and movements throughout the National Capital Region.
Protecting a family requires more than simply protecting one individual.
Our approach considers the people, properties, movements and routines that matter to you, allowing us to develop a coordinated security solution that works to serve your family and lifestyle.
From your arrival in Ottawa to your final departure, 242 PROTECT can provide continuity of protection throughout your movements.
Security can be coordinated around Ottawa International Airport, private aviation, hotels, residences, corporate offices, meetings and events, with planning tailored to each assignment.
242 GROUP understand the unique complications of personal protection in Ottawa, and throughout wider Canada, with a base in Canada’s Capital city itself. Ottawa presents a distinct environment for executive and personal security, combining federal government, diplomatic missions, international organisations, corporate activity, major events and high-profile visitors within a relatively concentrated National Capital Region.
Your itinerary might move from Ottawa International Airport or private aviation to a hotel, corporate meeting, diplomatic engagement, government district, private residence or evening event within a matter of hours. Effective executive protection needs to move just as seamlessly.
242 PROTECT considers the complete movement of the client rather than simply providing a security presence at individual locations. Depending on the assignment, our planning can consider schedules, routes, venues, movements, exposure and contingencies before the client arrives.
The objective is simple: you focus on your day, we focus on everything around it.
Our executive protection and personal security services can support clients throughout Ottawa, Downtown Ottawa, Centretown, the Parliamentary Precinct, Rockcliffe Park, Kanata and the wider National Capital Region. For clients travelling beyond Ottawa, 242 GROUP INC can support wider security requirements internationally, across Canada and the Americas, and beyond.
Searching for a bodyguard or private security team in Ottawa often begins with a straightforward requirement: you want someone you can trust to keep you, your family or another individual safe.
Professional executive protection goes considerably further.
The most effective security isn’t simply about responding when something happens. It’s about identifying potential risks and taking appropriate steps to reduce them before they affect the client. 242 PROTECT pride ourselves on providing seamless security, without fail.
Depending on your requirements, 242’s risk assessments can involve understanding potential threats, assessing environments, planning movements, considering alternative arrangements and maintaining complete awareness throughout an assignment.
Our operators think laterally, adapt quickly and remain alert to what’s happening around the client, at speed. The objective isn’t to dominate your environment. It’s to understand it.
And when we’re doing our job properly, you should barely notice we’re there.

Exceptional security requires exceptional people. Our executive protection operators are hand-selected for their experience, judgement and professionalism, as well as their ability to work seamlessly around the people they protect. It’s not simply about placing someone in a suit beside a client; it’s about having the right operator, with the right experience, in the right environment; whether that’s a corporate engagement in Downtown Ottawa, an international visit within the Parliamentary Precinct, a private residence in Rockcliffe Park or an event elsewhere in the National Capital Region.
Above all, discretion is fundamental to the way we operate.
Our clients, from high-net-worth individuals and business leaders to international visitors and public figures, value their privacy. Our Ottawa personal security specialists understand when a security presence needs to be visible and when the most effective approach is to blend quietly into the background.
