VIP, Executive and Close Protection Across Cape Town
Discreet close protection officers for executives and high-profile individuals, planned around your schedule.
LUM Security Solutions provides close protection for corporate executives, public figures and high-profile individuals across Cape Town and the wider Western Cape, with cover planned around your itinerary, travel and engagements so protection is in place before you move.
What Close Protection Means
Close protection places dedicated officers with a principal so that protection travels with them through their day. Where premises security guards a location, close protection guards the person, planning cover around their schedule, travel and the situations they move through.
At LUM Security Solutions, close protection starts with a confidential discussion of your itinerary and protection needs. We review routes and venues ahead of time, assign officers to your detail, and deliver protection discreetly so you can move, work and attend events without a conspicuous security presence. Cover can extend to family members and dependents where they also need a protective presence.

Where Close Protection Applies
Close protection follows a principal, so cover is shaped by the situations they move through. A confidential discussion confirms which of these apply to you.
Daily movement and routine
Close protection accompanies a principal through day-to-day travel and appointments, keeping a discreet watch on their surroundings as they move.
Travel and transit
Officers plan cover around airport transfers, intercity travel and unfamiliar routes so the principal is protected through arrivals, departures and in transit.
Events and appearances
For conferences, functions and public appearances, close protection manages entry, crowding and exposure so the principal can attend without managing their own security.
Residential and home
Protection can extend to the residence, watching arrivals and departures at home so the principal and their household are covered where they live.
Office and workplace
Close protection can cover the workplace, managing who reaches the principal at the office and keeping their movements discreet through the working day.
Family and dependents
Cover can extend to a principal's family members and dependents during travel, school runs or events where they also need a discreet protective presence.
