Our officers are SIA-licensed and hand-picked for their backgrounds – many have served in law enforcement or the armed forces – ensuring both reliability and expertise.
We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of your circumstances, lifestyle, travel patterns and any potential risks. From there, we craft a bespoke protection plan that may involve personal security during travel, secure transportation, surveillance and counter-surveillance, and around-the-clock availability if required.
Our officers are trained in defensive tactics, risk mitigation, conflict de-escalation and emergency response – always maintaining discretion and professionalism to protect your privacy while safeguarding your well-being.
By hiring through Onyx, you’re not just engaging a bodyguard – you’re partnering with a dedicated security provider who treats your safety as a priority.
