Frequently Asked Questions

For standard corporate visits to Lisbon, 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 Portugal are licensed under Law 34/2013 (Lei de Seguranca Privada) by PSP (Policia de Seguranca Publica). Our Lisbon partners hold all current credentials. Licence documentation is provided to the client before deployment begins. Individual operators hold the personal protection qualification required under Portuguese law.

Armed close protection is available in Portugal through operators holding the appropriate authorisation under Law 34/2013. The majority of Lisbon 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 Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) arrivals before the principal clears baggage claim. A pre-departure vehicle check is conducted. The LIS-to-city transfer takes 20 to 30 minutes (approximately 7km). For principals with elevated threat profiles, counter-surveillance protocol is applied from the arrivals hall through the transfer to the principal’s hotel.
