Bodyguard Hire in Naples

GPG-licensed close protection officers in Naples. Discreet CPO for HNWI and corporate executives visiting Campania, the Amalfi Coast and southern Italy.

Naples is the gateway to Campania, the Amalfi Coast, and Capri, which together constitute one of Italy’s most significant HNWI leisure and event destinations. The city’s organised crime background (Camorra) is primarily a commercial due diligence concern rather than a direct personal threat for international visitors. Petty crime, scooter-borne theft, and the specific road management challenge of the Amalfi Coast are the primary operational concerns. GPG licensing from the Prefettura di Napoli governs all CPO operators in the region.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

For most international corporate visitors to Naples, the Camorra’s direct impact on personal security is low. Camorra violence is primarily directed at rival factions and local commercial targets, not at foreign business visitors. The relevant implications for corporate principals are in commercial due diligence: counterparty assessment in Naples construction, logistics, and retail sectors requires scrutiny of potential Camorra-linked relationships. Personal security for standard Naples corporate visits operates at a similar risk profile to other southern Italian cities, with petty crime being the primary operational concern.

GPG close protection officers in Naples hold prefectural licences from the Prefettura di Napoli. Security companies hold Napoli prefectural operating licences. The TULPS framework applies throughout Italy, but licences are issued and monitored at the prefectural level, meaning that the Prefettura di Napoli is the licensing authority for all CPO work in Naples and the Campania region. Armed CPO requires Ministry of Interior authorisation. All documentation is provided to clients before engagement.

Based on FCDO Italy travel advice and OSAC Naples reporting, the primary elevated-risk elements are: scooter-borne theft in the Spaccanapoli historic centre and around Napoli Centrale; vehicle theft targeting premium vehicles in the Naples city area; and the specific route and driver skill requirement for Amalfi Drive movements. The Amalfi Coast road (SS163) is one of the most challenging road environments in Europe for driver skill due to its narrow cliff-edge format and tourist traffic; vetted, experienced local drivers are essential for principals visiting the coast.

Yes. Naples CPO operations cover the broader Campania region including Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Positano, Ravello, and Pompeii. For Capri, CPO cover includes jetty collection on arrival from the Naples hydrofoil or private tender, villa and hotel coverage, and return transfer coordination. For Amalfi Coast movements, the SS163 road requires specific driver expertise and is planned as part of the CPO route assessment.
