Close Protection

Multi-Layered Security Across International Borders

The tasking commenced in Dubai, a key global business hub. From arrival, the operational environment required detailed advance work, secure transportation coordination, and dynamic risk management. The client's schedule involved both corporate and government-level engagements, including:

• High-profile corporate launches in coordination with international organisations
• Regulatory meetings with Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA)
• Senior government appointments with Department of Economy & Tourism leadership

Operational Nomad CPO teams worked closely with embassy liaisons, local authorities, and private venues to secure all movement corridors, meeting locations, and social events. Dynamic route planning and real-time intelligence assessments were essential due to the constantly evolving nature of urban traffic patterns, regional political considerations, and VIP movement protocols.

Transition to European Operations

Following the Dubai phase, our team executed a time-sensitive international transfer to Italy. Seamless coordination with airline security teams, immigration, and ground transport providers allowed for a smooth transition into Florence, Italy.

Upon arrival, the principal’s agenda transitioned into a more diverse operational profile, combining business engagements with high-profile sporting events, including a multi-day appearance at the MotoGP launch at the Mugello Circuit.

MotoGP: High-Visibility Event Security

Large public events introduce unique security dynamics. The MotoGP circuit environment demanded enhanced situational awareness, crowd movement analysis, and layered protective tactics. Operational Nomad’s CPOs conducted:

• Venue advance surveys
• Secure vehicle movements in and out of restricted areas
• Coordination with local law enforcement and event security teams
• Crowd density and threat vector monitoring during public appearances
• Despite the high visibility, our approach remained deliberately low-profile to ensure client comfort while maintaining full protective readiness.
• Logistical Precision and Adaptive Planning

Throughout the 10-day assignment, the security operation demonstrated key Operational Nomad principles:

• Adaptability to rapidly changing schedules across multiple jurisdictions
• Discretion in managing both public-facing events and private high-level meetings
• Precision logistics ensuring timely, secure transitions between venues and countries
• Ongoing threat intelligence providing real-time updates to inform protective posture adjustments
• The assignment concluded with a controlled transfer to Venice, maintaining continuity of protection during extended ground movement across Italian regions.

Excellence Beyond Protection

This tasking serves as a clear demonstration of Operational Nomad’s integrated approach: combining physical protection with logistical mastery, cultural sensitivity, and proactive threat management. Our close protection officers operate not simply as bodyguards, but as strategic facilitators of business, diplomacy, and public engagements across complex international environments.
