Armed Close Protection
Qualified protection for
the highest threat levels
Armed close protection by licensed operatives. For situations where conventional measures are no longer sufficient. Legally sound, professional and discreet.
Armed protection
When conventional protection
no longer suffices
Certain threat situations require an elevated level of protection. Armed close protection is deployed when a qualified threat assessment indicates elevated risk and conventional measures alone are insufficient.
For armed assignments, MAN Sicherheit deploys exclusively personnel who hold the required firearms competency certifications and official authorisations. The legal framework under § 28a of the German Weapons Act (WaffG) is strictly observed.
Armed close protection is not a standard offering with us, but a specialised service for clearly defined threat scenarios. The decision to deploy armed personnel is always based on a thorough risk analysis. This protection is particularly relevant for VIP clients with an elevated threat profile.

All operatives hold the required firearms competency certifications and official authorisations.
Solid risk analysis
Armed deployment only on the basis of a qualified threat assessment and a clearly documented risk situation.
