FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

For standard corporate visits to Brussels, a vetted security driver is the appropriate baseline. A dedicated CPO is warranted for principals with EU institutional, diplomatic, or NATO roles representing documented intelligence targets, for HNWI clients with elevated personal risk indicators, and for principals attending high-profile summits or institutional meetings. The required protection level is determined by a pre-visit threat assessment that accounts for the OCAM threat level 2 environment.

CPOs in Belgium are licensed under the Law of 2 October 2017 on private and special security, administered by SPF Interieur/FOD Binnenlandse Zaken. Our Brussels partners hold all current credentials. Licence documentation is provided to the client before deployment begins. Individual operators hold the personal protection qualification required under Belgian law.

Armed close protection is available in Belgium through operators holding the appropriate authorisation under the Law of 2 October 2017. The majority of Brussels corporate and institutional assignments are conducted unarmed. Armed capability is deployed where the pre-deployment threat assessment identifies a specific requirement, consistent with the OCAM threat level 2 environment.

The CPO positions inside Brussels Airport (BRU) arrivals before the principal clears baggage claim. A pre-departure vehicle check is conducted. The BRU-to-city transfer takes 25 to 35 minutes (approximately 14km). For principals with elevated threat profiles, particularly those with EU institutional or diplomatic connections, counter-surveillance protocol is applied from the arrivals hall through the transfer to the principal’s hotel.
