Executive protection services for executives, families, and public figures
Some people know they could be a target — a CEO who just announced layoffs, a founder in the middle of a big deal, a public figure with a stalker, or a family whose wealth made the news. Veritas Protection Group is an executive protection company based in Virginia, working with clients across Virginia, Washington, D.C., Nashville, and Middle Tennessee, and traveling wherever a client's schedule goes. Most of our work happens before anything goes wrong: we check the routes, read the threats, and plan the day, so you can get on with it.
What It Is
What executive protection actually is
Executive protection is a security program built around one person or one family. It covers threat research, scouting every place you'll be, controlling how you move, and keeping trained agents close. The agent standing next to you is only one part of it.
It's for anyone whose job, wealth, or public profile has made them easy to find and worth the trouble — and it's not the same as hiring a bodyguard. A bodyguard reacts once something happens. Executive protection plans weeks ahead to stop it, and covers your routes, your home, and your family, not just the moment you're in the room.
Warning signs worth taking seriously: threatening messages or online harassment, someone turning up at your home or office uninvited, a lawsuit or firing that turned ugly, or a sudden jump in press attention.
What's Included
What our program includes
One agent without a plan behind them can only do so much. A full program has several parts, and we build it around your situation.
Threat assessment & protective intelligence
We start with the facts — who you are, how visible you are, what worries you, and where you spend your time — and turn that into a written plan for your risks, not a generic template.
Advance work
We visit venues, meeting rooms, hotels, and routes before you do, noting every entrance and exit and anything that could go wrong.
Close personal protection
Agents stay with you, openly or in the background. We scale the detail to the risk and to what you're comfortable with — armed or unarmed, and every armed agent is licensed in the state where they work.
Secure transportation
A lot of risk shows up in the car. Our drivers are trained security professionals who plan routes, watch for anyone following, and vary the route so it never becomes a pattern.
Travel security
We handle trips in the US and abroad — planning the journey, scouting the destination ahead of time, and giving you one person to call. Overseas, we use local help we've vetted.
Home & family coverage
Your home and family matter as much as your office. We coordinate home security and cover family under the same plan, adding uniformed guards at the property when it makes sense.
Who We Protect
Who we protect
CEOs & C-suite executives
Leaders who face extra risk around layoffs, acquisitions, shareholder fights, and big announcements.
Board members & founders
People in the spotlight during fundraising rounds, leadership changes, and other sensitive moments.
Public figures & VIPs
Anyone who attracts unwanted attention — including performers, whose tour dates, venues, and hotels get the same planning.
High-net-worth individuals & family offices
Quiet protection for principals, spouses, and children, at home and while traveling.
Corporate teams
Staff heading into unfamiliar or tense settings — overseas site visits or heated public meetings — covered for the length of the trip.
Executive protection only works if it's confidential. We keep client identities and details private, and we scale discreetly — from a single agent for a high-profile meeting to a full detail with residential and travel coverage.

FAQ
Executive protection FAQs
What is the difference between executive protection and a bodyguard?
A bodyguard reacts to a threat in the moment. Executive protection is a full program with threat assessment, advance work, secure transport, and intelligence work that aims to stop threats before they happen.
How much does executive protection cost?
It depends on the threat level, number of agents, hours, transport, and travel. After a confidential consultation, we send a clear proposal, and the first consultation is free.
Are your agents armed?
We provide both armed and unarmed agents, depending on the threat, the setting, and your preference. Every armed agent is licensed for the place where they work.
Do you protect executives who travel internationally?
Yes. We plan the trip and scout the destination in advance. Where needed, we work with local partners we have vetted.
Can I hire an agent for just one event or meeting?
Yes. Some clients need one agent for a single meeting, others need a full team with home and travel coverage. We'll size the detail to your situation.
Plan before you need it
Protection works best when it's set up ahead of time, not pulled together in a crisis. Whether you need one high-profile day covered or an ongoing program for you and your family, one confidential conversation will tell you what it takes — and we'll be honest with you, even if that means telling you that you don't need us yet.
