You decideNo obligation — you choose the firm, the scope and the terms, always
Praetorian Executive Security is an independent information and referral service, not a security company. Figures describe the service, not any promised result; availability of firms varies by location.
How it works
Four steps, always on your terms
Here is exactly what happens after you reach out — no surprises, and no firm engaged without your say-so.
A protective perimeter, established step by step
Reach out
Matched
Vetted
Protected
01Step one
Share your requirements, in confidence
Tell us the basics — the protection you need, your location and timeline — starting with only your email. Nothing here is public, and no detail is shared beyond what's needed to make the right introduction.
02Step two
We privately connect you with vetted firms
We identify licensed, independently vetted security firms suited to your situation and make a discreet introduction. Praetorian does not provide security services itself — every introduction is to a separately licensed firm.
03Step three
Review credentials and a private proposal
The firm you're introduced to shares its licensing, relevant experience and a detailed written proposal directly with you, so you can evaluate qualifications and scope before deciding anything.
04Step four
Engage directly, entirely on your terms
If it's a fit, you engage the firm directly under an agreement between you and them. You're never obligated, and Praetorian is never a party to the engagement or the services performed.
Praetorian is an independent information and referral service. We do not provide security services ourselves — we help connect you with licensed, vetted firms. Any firm you engage is independently responsible for its services. Capabilities and availability vary, and nothing is guaranteed.

Know when to reach out
When a confidential introduction helps most
There is no single threshold for seeking protective security. These are the moments clients most often reach out for a confidential conversation.
You've received a credible threat or spike in exposure
A specific concern, threat or sudden rise in public attention is a good reason for a confidential conversation with a licensed protection professional.
You're a high-profile executive or public figure
Visibility brings exposure. A vetted firm can assess your routine and recommend proportionate, discreet coverage.
You're securing a residence, estate or family
From access control to a protective detail for family members, a licensed firm can tailor a plan to your property and routine.
You're traveling to an unfamiliar or higher-risk location
Secure transport, local liaison and advance planning help reduce uncertainty for both domestic and international travel.
Whoever you consider, take your time: confirm the firm is licensed, ask for a detailed written proposal, and trust how they communicate with you. You can also review a firm’s track record at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org).
Why Praetorian
We connect you. We don’t provide security ourselves.
That is the whole model, stated plainly. Praetorian is an independent information and referral service — the licensed firm you choose performs the protective services, on terms you agree to directly with them.
We connect — we don't provide security ourselves
Praetorian is an independent referral service. The licensed firm you're introduced to performs all protective services, never Praetorian.
Licensed, independently vetted firms only
We review state licensing and relevant credentials before any introduction — you're never referred to an unverified provider.
Confidential from the first message
Your inquiry is handled discreetly. We share only what's needed to make a suitable introduction, and nothing is made public.
Honest, unhurried, no guarantees
We never promise safety or a specific outcome. You review credentials and proposals directly and decide, entirely on your own terms.
Composite accounts
What a confidential introduction can feel like
Honest, illustrative accounts of what the referral experience can be like.
Praetorian connected us with a firm that took the time to understand our family's routine before recommending anything. The whole process felt measured and completely confidential.
RR. Halloway Greenwich, Connecticut
As a public-facing executive, I needed a discreet assessment, not a sales pitch. The firm I was introduced to was professional, licensed, and never oversold what they could do.
MM. Achebe Austin, Texas
We were traveling internationally for the first time with real security concerns. The advance planning and secure transport gave our family peace of mind without ever feeling excessive.
SS. Whitfield Scottsdale, Arizona
Composite, illustrative examples, not statements from identified clients; individual experiences vary. Nothing here predicts or promises a result. Capabilities and pricing vary by firm and location.
Before you decide
How to evaluate a protective security firm with confidence
A few grounded reminders that protect you and your peace of mind. These are genuinely useful, free to check, and apply no matter which firm you choose.
Four things to check before you engage a firm
Whether you work with a firm we connect you to or one you find on your own, keep these in mind:
Confirm the firm is licensed. Licensing requirements for private security and executive protection vary by state. Ask for proof of license, and check public reviews at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org).
Look for recognized credentials. Agents or firms holding credentials such as those from ASIS International signal an added layer of professional standards.
Take your time, and keep it confidential. A professional firm will never rush you or pressure you to share more than you’re ready to before you decide.
Know when to call 911. This page is for confidential introductions only and isn’t monitored around the clock. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services right away.
