security services

At 242 PROTECT, we create a tailored service for each client. We learn your routine, behaviours, and environment. Whether in London, another UK city, across the EMEA region, or within the fast-evolving threat landscapes of Africa and Asia, we will build a security system to suit you and your lifestyle.

We work with individuals, families, and organisations, delivering security services developed from our significant real-world experience. We begin with a consultation before matching each new client with one or more of our specialist team. We analyse, design, and execute our services to meet and exceed client requirements.

close protection

242 PROTECT leads with a ‘client first’ approach to close protection. We begin with a full consultation to understand each client’s particular lifestyle requirements, before tailoring personnel and systems to their needs — in the UK, across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

We protect individuals, assets, lifestyles, and careers, allowing our clients to live their lives undisrupted. Whether for a specific event, international trip, conference, or long-term engagement, we consult, plan, form, and deliver an approach that works.

Each client is treated as an individual. We offer exceptional flexibility in our scope of service: from complete discretion and invisibility, to an overt visual deterrent in high-profile situations across any jurisdiction

Last Resort token

242 PROTECT understands that some clients do not require full private security coverage during their travels or at their residences, but still need an additional measure of reassurance — wherever they are in the world.

We can provide a discreet mini panic button paired with the client’s phone that will allow the client to immediately send an automated alert with an accurate location to us. Upon receipt of this distress signal, the operative will follow a pre-agreed checklist and take certain actions discussed with the client during onboarding.

This service is by invitation only.

Residential Security Teams

Residential security teams play a vital role in protecting families, homes, and communities by providing a visible and proactive security presence.
 
Their expertise helps deter criminal activity, respond quickly to incidents, and maintain a safe environment for residents and visitors alike. From monitoring access points and conducting regular patrols to handling emergencies with professionalism and efficiency, residential security personnel offer an added layer of protection that technology alone cannot provide.
 
By safeguarding both people and property, dedicated security teams give homeowners peace of mind, allowing them to enjoy their daily lives with confidence, knowing that their safety and security are being actively maintained.

surveillance

Proportionate and professional in our approach, and armed with skills and experience acquired in the Special Forces and specialist police units, we have the knowledge and insight to advise and implement the latest surveillance strategies across the UK, EMEA, Africa, and Asia.

We work closely with our clients to achieve their aims, ensuring a success rate that is second to none.

We offer comprehensive surveillance services meeting the needs of individuals and businesses alike. Our services include — but are not limited to — manned and unmanned overt and covert surveillance, counter-surveillance, brand protection, Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM), and asset monitoring. All surveillance is tailored to your specific requirements.
