Executive Protection in Mombasa

PSRA-licensed executive protection in Mombasa. Al-Shabaab awareness, port-sector coverage and Kenya coast EP for corporate and HNWI principals.

Mombasa executive protection combines Kenya Coast al-Shabaab terrorism awareness with the specific island geography routing constraints of Mombasa’s ferry and causeway network. Port-sector advance coordination, Diani south coast resort coverage, and PSRA-licensed operators under Kenya’s Security Industry Act 2018 are the foundations of the Mombasa EP programme.

For the full Mombasa and Kenya Coast security context, see our Mombasa city page. For principals who need vetted transport as the primary security element on the Kenya coast, security drivers in Mombasa covers the PSRA-licensed chauffeur programme.
