Operational detail for Recife
Property Security Survey
Structured assessment of residential properties in Boa Viagem, Recife Antigo (historic centre), and Pina used by senior corporate assignees in Recife's agribusiness, port logistics, and government sectors. The survey covers perimeter access, CCTV coverage, alarm system specification, intercom and access control, and evacuation routing from all principal accommodation options in these zones.
Regulatory Framework in Brazil
Private security in Recife is regulated at state level by SESP-PE (Pernambuco State Secretariat for Public Security) under Federal Law No. 7102/1983 and subsequent regulations. Armed escorts require individual weapon authorisation from the Federal Police. Operator credentials and armed escort authorisation should be verified before engagement. Residential security assessments for assignees are delivered through vetted, licensed operators. The operational structure in Brazil should be understood before any residential engagement commences.
Domestic Staff Vetting
Identity verification and employment history checks for household employees. For principals in Recife's agribusiness, port logistics, and government sectors, background checks for staff with access to devices, home office equipment, or sensitive commercial paperwork carry additional weight. Employment history verification with previous Recife-based employers is included as standard.
