Frequently Asked Questions

For standard corporate visits to Budapest, a vetted security driver is the appropriate baseline. A dedicated CPO is warranted for principals with government, diplomatic, or defence-sector roles representing documented intelligence targets, for HNWI clients with elevated personal risk indicators, and for principals who have received credible threat information. The required protection level is determined by a pre-visit threat assessment.

CPOs in Hungary are licensed under Act CXXXIII of 2005 on Security Services and on the Activities of Private Investigators by Hungarian National Police (Rendorseg). Our Budapest partners hold all current credentials. Licence documentation is provided to the client before deployment begins. Individual operators hold the personal protection qualification required under Hungary law.

Armed close protection is available in Hungary through operators holding the appropriate Hungary armed security authorisation. The majority of Budapest corporate and diplomatic assignments are conducted unarmed, reflecting the low ambient risk. Armed capability is deployed where the pre-deployment threat assessment identifies a specific requirement.

The CPO positions inside Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) arrivals before the principal clears baggage claim. A pre-departure vehicle check is conducted.
