Bodyguard Hire in Juba, South Sudan

Juba is the operational hub for South Sudan’s oil industry, a substantial UN and NGO community anchored by UNMISS, and development-finance organisations working across one of the world’s youngest and most fragile states. The city’s high risk rating reflects the fragile post-conflict environment, documented armed robbery and carjacking targeting international personnel, and very limited medical infrastructure. A vetted, licensed close protection officer provides the appropriate baseline for foreign nationals with operational requirements in Juba.

CPOs deployed in Juba are licensed under the Private Security Companies Act (2021), experienced in the South Sudan operating environment, and briefed on current FCDO, US State Department, and UNMISS security advisories before each assignment. The standard deployment model pairs a licensed CPO with a security-trained driver experienced in Juba’s movement corridors and night-movement restrictions.

What licensed close protection covers in Juba

A CPO team in Juba provides secure airport transfers from JUB, advance route intelligence for all scheduled movements, hotel and compound security coordination in the Juba Town and Tomping areas, and on-ground accompaniment for business meetings. For oil-sector clients, the team liaises with corporate security functions and advises on movement windows relative to current intelligence on armed robbery and carjacking hotspots.
