Praetos - Digital Close Protection
A private protective service for private clients and their families. Cyber-led, discreet, and held in a single trusted relationship.
Request a confidential conversationCorporate security stops at the office door. Your home network, your private email, your family's footprint and your routines sit outside it - and that is precisely where a capable adversary now goes.
Consumer products were not built for people who are specifically researched rather than randomly chosen, and the global crisis firms arrive only once something has already gone wrong. Praetos exists to close that gap, quietly, before it is ever tested.
In physical security, close protection is the discreet detail that stands between a principal and harm. Praetos is its digital equivalent, extending into the physical world through trusted specialists. One protector sees the whole picture and holds it - so you experience a single relationship, not a panel of vendors.
Your and your family's digital exposure, mapped and hardened - with email, the master key, secured first and monitored most closely.
Threat assessment, situational awareness and close protection, delivered by vetted specialists and coordinated under one relationship.
Residence and perimeter security, scoped and delivered by trusted specialists, orchestrated by Praetos.
What a capable, motivated adversary can find and do - across you and your family. A single, plainly stated picture, and a prioritised plan. The considered first step. The method behind it comes from careers spent holding security risk across global banks, energy majors and critical infrastructure.
Addressing what the Assessment surfaces - as a defined piece of work, or as the first phase of the standing relationship.
A single point of contact, mail on a secured and monitored domain at the centre, periodic reassessment as life changes, and family coverage. A continuous watch on credentials, breach and dark-web exposure, impersonation and footprint drift. And the first call when something is wrong, with the coordination of everyone who needs to be involved.
Discreet handling, calm and within the law, for the people we already protect. We are building it deliberately, and we will say plainly when it is here rather than imply it already is.
The most powerful figures in Rome did not guard themselves. A small, elite, sworn body did it for them - closest to power, trusted absolutely, operating unseen. At a certain level of success, protection stops being something you do and becomes something done for you. Praetos is that body, brought into the digital age: loyal, discreet, vigilant, and entirely yours.
You deal with us, not with a delivery team.
