§ 09 — Before You Shortlist

Frequently Asked Questions.

Tap a row to expand

All field officers are SIRA-licensed and on direct Septimius contract. License numbers are individually verifiable and provided in every candidate profile. We do not sub-contract close protection assignments to third-party suppliers. The operator your principal meets is the operator on our books.

Within the hour for same-day deployment requests received during UAE business hours. For longer engagements, between two and four hours depending on the specificity of the principal's brief. Profiles arrive as PDF and include name, photograph, certifications, languages, and prior detail category.

Enhanced background screening, two-party reference, and UAE clearance status on entry. Re-vetted every twelve months. Vetting is owned in-house and audited under our ISO 18788 management system.

In the UAE, the standard posture is unarmed plain-clothes, and that is what 95% of our principals retain. Where the threat profile requires it and the jurisdiction permits, armed coverage is arranged through licensed channels in coordination with local authorities. We brief on this in the first call rather than in writing.

Continuity is handled by your engagement lead (Hany Gaja) and recorded against the assignment, not the individual. Each incoming officer is briefed against the same standing brief, the same principal preferences, and the same advance work, so the principal experience does not reset.

Most of our personnel are Western. This allows our teams to travel with principals worldwide without nationality-driven access or visa constraints.

Once we have reviewed your brief our team will be in touch to gather more information. We will then select multiple candidate profiles that fit your requirements and send them over for your approval.
