We provide Close Protection Bodyguard Services across Asia
Intelligent Protection International Limited have been providing bodyguards in Asia for almost two decades. We have an office in Kuala Lumpur to support our clients across Asia and we have also in the past been used to provide “expert witnesses” in court cases involving Royalty Protection, as well as being involved in providing specialist security training in the region.
With Asia being the largest and most populated continent on Earth, it gathers together a wealth of distinct cultural, ethnic and linguistic characteristics that vary from countries to countries. But this can be a real challenge for foreign delegations visiting an Asian country, especially if they go there to conduct business as cultural etiquette and norms are often very different from Western culture and what westerners are accustomed to.
Cultural advice for visiting Islamic countries
If you have never visited an Islamic country, you may have some unanswered questions about the culture, what you can wear and general dos and don'ts. Intelligent Protection is highly experienced at working in Islamic countries and has done so for the past decade and more.
We have written a guide that will help you understand what is culturally acceptable, and we hope you find it useful. See our page: Guide to Islamic culture for travellers.
Asian countries we operate in
Hiring Bodyguards in Asia
Asia is also a vibrant place with countries steeped in history, tradition and of course honour. Cultural awareness is incredibly important to us and how we operate across Asia. Our Bodyguards, while almost all Western, bring the same values of respect and honour into the Bodyguard Services that we provide our clients in Asia.
Whether you are relaxing on the beach at Phi Phi Island or enjoying street food in Bangkok in Thailand, meeting the Big Buddha in Hong Kong, visiting the Taj Mahal in India, climbing up the steps of the Great Wall of China, our bodyguards have extensive experience throughout Asia. Their local knowledge, linguistic skills and understanding of local customs make the overall experience during your trip less intimidating as you have a bodyguard that not only ensure your protection but act as a guide, recommending you where to go and what you should avoid doing.
The political situation and security risks differ very much from country to country and area to area. Violent crime including gun crime is not uncommon in some areas but can be very rare in other countries. Military coups are not uncommon, yet, in many countries road traffic accidents remain the greatest risk.
Intelligent Protection International Limited, provides free, in-depth Security Advisory Reports for each country - Travel Advisories for Asia, see: Asia Travel Advice.
As with our Close Protection Services in other areas of the world, our Bodyguard Services in Asia can be supported by other services, such as:
- Lisenced Close Protection
- Armed Bodyguards (in some locations)
- Residential Security
- Protective Surveillance
- Security Trained Drivers
- Personal Medical Officers
- Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM)
All of our Bodyguards across Asia are trained to very high standards, are trained in First Aid and are former military or police.
Armed Bodyguards in Asia
Clients who are interested in Armed Bodyguards and/or Armed Protection will need to make this clear to us from the outset. It is not possible to hire Armed Bodyguards in many Asian countries and even in the countries that do allow armed Private Security, often this has to be arranged well in advance, even then is reviewed by Government departments on a case by case basis. So, in essence this is not an easy area!
Security across Asia
There are a number of terrorist groups operating in Asia and they can be a major threat to business operations and personnel in the region. Aside from this there is also regional tensions at play, that could splil over into conflict. Terrorist groups like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and regional affiliates remain active, especially in South and Southeast Asia. Countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Philippines continue to deal with insurgencies and extremist violence.
Asia’s security landscape is marked by great power competition, regional rivalries, territorial disputes, and transnational threats, making it one of the most dynamic and challenging regions for security management.
More general security threats come from organised crime and gangs, some linked to terrorist groups, some not. Intelligent Protection International Limited provides free risk reports to aid our Clients and our own private security operations.
