Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What is a Secure Luxury Access Operator?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

We created a new category in Brazil: Secure Luxury Access. Unlike traditional security firms that keep you safe but constrained, we keep you safe AND unlock Brazil's finest experiences—Michelin-star dining, exclusive events, cultural immersions. We're not just bodyguards; we're your bridge to experiencing Brazil with total freedom and complete peace of mind.

Question 2

Do I Need Executive Protection in Brazil?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

It depends on your profile and itinerary. Professional protection is recommended if you're a C-level executive, high-net-worth individual, managing sensitive negotiations, or have a public profile. For routine business trips to São Paulo's Faria Lima or Rio's hotel zones, discrete protection provides peace of mind. We offer complimentary threat assessments to evaluate your specific risk level and recommend appropriate security measures—from travel consultation to full protection details.

Question 3

What Makes Vanguard Attaché Different from Other Security Companies?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

We created a new category: Protected Luxury Access. Traditional security firms keep you safe but constrained; luxury concierges provide experiences but lack security expertise. We bridge both worlds. Our dual-trained teams combine US Special Forces/Brazilian specialized unit (BOPE, COT) backgrounds with luxury hospitality service standards. We don't just protect you—we unlock Brazil. Whether it's securing premium restaurant reservations, coordinating event access, or facilitating cultural experiences, protection expands your world rather than limits it. We're 100% Brazil-focused, not global generalists, with 15+ years of local relationships.

Question 4

How Do You Facilitate Access to Exclusive Experiences?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

We leverage 15+ years of local relationships to coordinate access to Brazil's finest experiences. This includes premium restaurant reservations (D.O.M., Maní, Fasano), VIP event access (F1, Rock in Rio, Carnival), private cultural experiences, and insider opportunities requiring both social connections and security clearance. We're transparent: we facilitate and coordinate but cannot guarantee entry to fully booked venues. These services work best with 2-4 weeks advance notice and carry additional fees beyond base security pricing. We always provide realistic expectations during consultation.

Question 5

What Security Services Do You Provide in Brazil?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

We provide comprehensive Secure Luxury Access services combining premium protection with VIP facilitation. Core services include: professional close protection, secure transportation (executive sedans and armored vehicles), event security coordination, risk assessment, and travel planning. Beyond traditional security, we facilitate access to Brazil's finest experiences—premium restaurant reservations, exclusive event coordination, cultural immersions—all while maintaining your safety. We operate throughout Brazil with permanent teams in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, and Salvador.

Question 6

How Much Does Executive Protection Cost in Brazil?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

Investment varies based on protection level, trip duration, vehicle requirements, and threat complexity. Rather than post generic rates that don't reflect your specific needs, we provide complimentary threat assessments and customized proposals. Most corporate clients find our services represent 2-5% of their total Brazil travel budget. Services range from essential protection for business travelers to comprehensive luxury security solutions for high-profile clients. Contact us for a personalized consultation and detailed pricing proposal.

Question 7

Do You Provide Services for International Executives Visiting Brazil?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

Yes, international executives represent the majority of our clients. We specialize in serving Fortune 500 executives, diplomats, celebrities, and high-net-worth individuals experiencing Brazil. Our bilingual teams understand both international corporate protocols and Brazilian cultural dynamics—we're cultural translators, not just security providers. Services include pre-trip threat briefings, secure accommodations coordination, executive transportation, meeting security, and access to experiences you couldn't safely or easily arrange independently.

Question 8

How Quickly Can You Deploy Security Services?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

For emergency situations in São Paulo, Rio, or Brasília, we can deploy within 2-3 hours. Standard arrangements typically deploy within 6-12 hours. For optimal team selection and advance planning (including venue access coordination and VIP facilitation), we recommend 2-4 weeks notice. Our 24/7 operations center ensures rapid response for urgent security needs while providing thorough preparation for planned trips.

Question 9

Which Cities in Brazil Do You Operate In?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

We maintain permanent teams with rapid response capability in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, and Salvador. Average response times: 12 minutes in São Paulo's Faria Lima financial district, 15 minutes in Rio's Zona Sul. We also regularly operate in Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre, Recife, Fortaleza, and Florianópolis. For special events or remote locations, we deploy teams with 24-48 hours notice. Our Brazil-exclusive focus means deeper local expertise than international firms operating in 50+ countries.

Question 10

Is an Armored Vehicle Necessary in Brazil?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

Armored vehicles are recommended for high-risk scenarios: downtown travel after 8PM, airport transfers (especially GRU in São Paulo), routes through elevated-risk areas, and high-profile executives with public visibility. For daytime business meetings in secure districts like Faria Lima (São Paulo) or Leblon (Rio), luxury executive sedans with trained security drivers are typically sufficient. We conduct individual threat assessments rather than one-size-fits-all recommendations. Armored vehicle options include Level III-A ballistic protection in Mercedes, BMW, or Toyota Land Cruiser platforms.

Question 11

Do You Provide Female Close Protection Specialists?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

Yes, we have highly trained female close protection specialists on our teams. Female agents are often preferred for female executives, family protection, and situations requiring sophisticated discretion. Our female specialists have Brazilian military, law enforcement, or international executive protection backgrounds, with full certifications in close protection protocols. They blend seamlessly into luxury environments while maintaining advanced security capabilities.

Question 12

How Does the Booking Process Work?

Vanguard Attaché · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Initial contact via our website, email, or 24/7 phone (15 minutes) for brief overview. Step 2: Complimentary threat assessment call (30-60 minutes) reviewing your itinerary, threat profile, and security needs. Step 3: Customized proposal with service recommendations and pricing (delivered within 24 hours). Step 4: Pre-trip planning (1-2 weeks before arrival) including team assignment, route reconnaissance, and communication protocols. Step 5: Seamless execution during your trip with 24/7 support. Total timeline: 2-4 weeks for standard trips, 48-72 hours for emergencies.
