Close protection from Carinthia

About us

Protection is the only thing we do, and we are small.

You can reach us by telephone on +43 676 554 88 83.

Where we come from.

Many of us grew up in the Balkans. One of us spent his childhood among the vehicles his father armoured. Protocol One came out of that. It is based in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee.

We know what it is like when a family does not feel safe.

Every man we put at your side is employed by Protocol One. We do not bring in men from other firms. We take on only as many assignments as we can cover ourselves. We specialise in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, where we know the rules.

How we work.

Before we agree, we listen to the whole situation, including the part that is uncomfortable. Our men need to know what they are taking on. If we cannot take responsibility for an assignment, we decline it and tell you so.

We talk about your situation first and about the price after that. Our first clients are still with us.

The men.

Anyone who wants to join us first goes through our own selection. We examine his background, his expertise, his physical condition and his mental resilience. Passing all of that does not yet make him one of us. Only then do we decide whether he is right for us.

Each of our men has his own focus, in close protection, in protecting homes, on journeys, in secure transport or behind the wheel.

Every man is registered with the security authority and has had his criminal record checked, as the law requires.

Some of our men hold close protection certificates issued under ISO/IEC 17024.

We train every day, together and each man on his own.

You will see little of it. You will notice it in how calm our men are at the moments when you cannot be.

Confidentiality.

Our men do not use clients' names, even among themselves. Off duty they do not talk about assignments, and on assignment they take no photographs. Confidentiality is written into every contract of employment.

One of our men comes home after ten days and does not tell even his own family where he has been.

That is why we give no references.

What it concerns
Where and when
Add more detail (if you wish)

A town or a country is enough. You can give us the address later.

When

Write only what you wish to. We discuss the details of incidents or individuals in person.

How we can reach you

A private address is fine, or that of your law firm.

We read your enquiry ourselves and reply in person. If it reaches us before 6 pm, Monday to Friday, we reply the same day, otherwise on the next working day. Your details are sent over an encrypted connection and are not passed on.

Privacy notice

Everything you tell us goes no further.

You may also enquire on behalf of someone else, as an assistant, as a personal office or as a law firm. If something has prompted your enquiry, have it to hand when we meet.
