We provide Security and Bodyguard Services for Kyrgyzstan

Since 2017, Intelligent Protection has been offering Bodyguard Services and Secure Ground Transportation throughout Kyrgyzstan. While our core services are concentrated in the major cities of Bishkek, Osh, Jalal-Abad, Karakol, and Kyzyl-Kiya, we extend our operations across the entire country to meet our clients' needs. Whether in urban centers or more remote areas, we provide comprehensive protection and transportation solutions, ensuring our clients receive the highest standard of security wherever they may be in Kyrgyzstan. Our ability to operate nationwide allows us to adapt to a variety of environments and travel requirements, offering tailored services for any situation.

In Kyrgyzstan, we offer both covert and overt operations, tailored to the specific risk profile of our clients and the locations they plan to visit. Our flexible approach allows us to adapt to varying levels of security concerns, ensuring that the right balance of discretion and visible protection is maintained as needed.

As a starting point, we highly recommend conducting a comprehensive Security Risk Assessment. This assessment helps us identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, enabling us to design a bespoke security plan that aligns with both the assessed risks and the client’s itinerary. By integrating these elements, we ensure that our services provide the most effective and appropriate level of protection throughout the client's stay in Kyrgyzstan.

There is a notable risk of terrorism in Kyrgyzstan, particularly targeting Westerners. Potential attacks could occur indiscriminately, including in areas frequented by foreign nationals such as public spaces, tourist attractions, and hotels. The southern and western regions around Osh have experienced instances of terrorist activity and armed violence. A significant incident occurred on August 30, 2016, when a suicide bomb attack was carried out against the Chinese Embassy on the outskirts of Bishkek, reportedly by the Turkestan Islamic Party.

In addition to the terrorism risk, demonstrations are common in Bishkek and other parts of the country. While most protests are peaceful, they can occasionally escalate into violence with little or no warning. For instance, on May 17 and 18, 2024, protests in Bishkek against South Asian workers and students turned violent, resulting in 41 injuries. Travelers should exercise caution and stay informed of local developments to avoid areas where unrest might occur.

We continuously monitor the situation on the ground in Kyrgyzstan and provide comprehensive risk reports to all clients planning to travel or conduct business there. These reports are informed by our up-to-date travel advisories. For the most current guidance on Kyrgyzstan, please visit our dedicated page: Kyrgyzstan Travel Advice.
