We provide Security and Bodyguard Services for Yemen

Since 2012, Intelligent Protection has been delivering Close Protection Bodyguard and Security Risk Management Services throughout Yemen, ensuring the safety and security of our clients in this challenging environment.

Currently, Yemen is a particularly difficult country to operate in. The atmosphere is often one of mistrust towards Westerners, and navigating local complexities—whether for logistics or simply moving between locations—requires a deep understanding of the region and its risks.

We strongly advise against traveling to Yemen without thorough planning and comprehensive security measures due to the elevated risks of terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, hostage-taking, and ongoing armed conflict. Additionally, there is an increased risk of wrongful detention, further underscoring the need for caution.

Our specialized services in Yemen encompass a complete Hostile Environment package, including Security Risk Management, Secure Ground Transportation, Armed Close Protection, Medical Support, and Extraction Planning.

If you are considering these services, we recommend contacting us well in advance to discuss your specific needs. Due to the complexity and time-intensive nature of operations in Yemen, last-minute arrangements are not feasible.

All of our Hostile Environment Services in Yemen are provided by former members of the French military, all are trained and vetted to French standards and many are trained medics. In support of these services, we are also able to offer the following services:

  • Security Reviews and Risk Assessments
  • Secure Ground Transportation
  • Residential and Villa Security
  • Personal Medical Officers
  • Vehicle Tracking
  • Technical Security & CCTV

We constantly monitor the on-the-ground situation in Yemen and provide risk reports to all our clients wishing to travel to and operate in the country. These reports are based on our own travel advisories. For the latest advice on Yemen, please see our page: Yemen Travel Advice.

Driving in Yemen is dangerous, we advise all clients to utilise our own services in providing serviceable vehicles with trained drivers.
