Services
VIP security
You protect a site with fixed measures. You can only protect a person by moving with them. Our VIP security service is close protection covering the protected person’s entire day: a trained team that stands beside them, goes ahead of them and secures their back.
CAT Güvenlik Hizmetleri Ltd. Şti. operates exclusively in security. We deliver close protection under Law No. 5188 on Private Security Services, with licensed officers and within our quality system.
Our protection approach
Our working principle is written in our name: Brave, Agile, Alert. In close protection this means not reacting to an incident, but giving it no chance to occur.
Foresighted
Risk is assessed before the protected person sets out.
Planned
Every assignment rests on a written protection plan; nothing is improvised.
Alert
Attention stays outward throughout; the officer reads the crowd, the vehicle and the approaching person.
Discreet
Protection is provided without disrupting the person’s work or private life.
Layered protection
- Protected person. At the centre of the plan.
- Close protection. Right beside the protected person.

The service may be continuous, or for a single trip, a single meeting or a defined period.
Our protection officers
Close protection is different from a standard guarding post. The officer’s manner, foresight and discipline of discretion matter as much as their licence. Every stage from selection to supervision is followed in detail.
- Officers holding an armed or unarmed private security ID card under Law No. 5188
- Team supported by protection training at our own security training institution
- Assignments planned and supervised by managers with a law-enforcement background (Police, Armed Forces, Gendarmerie)
- Officers familiar with protocol who can work in plain clothes in corporate settings
- Assignment, supervision and reporting recorded under our quality management system
- Signed confidentiality undertaking for every officer

How we work
- 01
Risk assessment
The protected person’s routine, areas of movement and current threat picture are examined.
- 02
Protection plan
Team size, shift pattern, vehicle needs and communication method are set out in writing.
- 03
Implementation
Officers are selected for the assignment, briefed, and the assignment begins.
- 04
Supervision and reporting
The assignment is recorded and checked by the supervision unit; the plan is updated as conditions change.
Confidentiality
In close protection, protecting information is as important as protecting the person. The protected person’s identity, addresses, daily schedule and travel details are never shared outside the assignment. Personal data is processed in accordance with Turkish data-protection law (KVKK). The duty of confidentiality continues after the assignment ends.
Legal framework
Our service is delivered under Law No. 5188 on Private Security Services and the related regulation. Close-protection assignments are duly notified to the governor’s office before the service begins. Possession and carrying of firearms are handled within the limits set by law.
