Protection, quietly held.

Vanguard Attaché offers three tiers: Soft Essential ($860/day, SUV plus armed bilingual EP agent), Armored Standard ($1,040/day, Nível IIIA-armored SUV, our most popular tier for Fortune 500 executives), and Armored Elite ($1,540/day, premium armored SUV with advance reconnaissance for UHNW principals and C-suite executives). Because we directly command the engagement, our rates run 20-50% below international firms like Control Risks or GardaWorld, which typically charge $1,500-2,200/day.

Every specialist on our details comes from Brazil's elite forces — BOPE, COT (São Paulo's tactical police), Brazilian Army Special Forces, or Federal Police intelligence — deployed under our command by our PF-authorized partner. All are fully bilingual (Portuguese/English), undergo continuous training in protection protocols and emergency medicine, and hold current Polícia Federal credentials we verify before deployment.

Discretion is fundamental to our approach. In São Paulo's Faria Lima district, our specialists appear as business associates; at Rio's Copacabana Palace or cultural venues like MASP, they're virtually undetectable to other guests. For clients requiring absolute discretion, we use advance teams and intelligence monitoring rather than obvious security presence.

Yes. Family protection is a specialized capability covering executive protection for parents during business activities, age-appropriate child security during school or cultural experiences, residential security for temporary homes, and secure transportation with child-appropriate vehicles. We coordinate with international schools and activity venues, and maintain emergency protocols for family medical or security situations.

We deploy qualified teams within 12-24 hours for most Brazil locations, with emergency deployment in 4 hours for São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasília. We maintain full-time rosters in-country rather than flying specialists in. For planned operations, we recommend 7-14 days' notice for full intelligence preparation; for urgent needs, contact our 24/7 GSOC at +1 (424) 206-8357.

Yes. We command executive protection nationwide — major cities (São Paulo, Rio, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Salvador, Recife), industrial and mining sites, agricultural properties, and remote or high-crime areas other firms avoid. For remote locations, we conduct enhanced advance work: detailed threat assessments, medical evacuation planning, and specialized communications and equipment coordination.

Comprehensive security, not just bodyguards. Our service integrates five capabilities: 24/7 GSOC intelligence monitoring, protection specialists trained for both discretion and tactical response, secure transportation with armored vehicles and trained drivers, advance work (route reconnaissance and venue assessments before you arrive), and pre-coordinated medical evacuation and emergency protocols.

Our specialists — former Federal Police agents, military officers, and civil police veterans — maintain active professional relationships with current law enforcement. This enables rapid coordination when situations require official support, intelligence sharing on local threats, and protocol navigation for government access. We've coordinated directly with Federal Police, Palácio do Planalto security, and PMESP (São Paulo Military Police) on prior engagements.

All specialists maintain current tactical emergency medical training and follow TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) protocols. Every vehicle carries trauma kits and AEDs, and we pre-identify hospitals along routes. In one case, a specialist recognized cardiac symptoms during a São Paulo dinner, administered first aid, and coordinated rapid transport to Hospital Sírio-Libanês for full recovery.

Yes. We regularly partner with Fortune 500 global security departments, delivering Brazil-specific protection aligned with corporate policies and risk frameworks. This includes reporting in your formats, pre-travel coordination with your security staff, threat assessments using your risk methodologies, and technology integration (GPS tracking, secure communications). We become your Brazil specialist partner, not a replacement for existing relationships.

Yes — every EP agent we command is armed and bilingual; we do not command unarmed details. These agents are deployed under our licensed, Polícia Federal-authorized local partners, hold current Brazilian firearms licenses (9mm sidearm), and maintain continuous tactical training. Despite carrying weapons, they operate with complete discretion, blending into business environments as associates rather than visible bodyguards.

Four things: intelligence-led operations through our 24/7 GSOC, rather than reactive bodyguarding; elite team composition — former BOPE, COT, and Federal Police specialists, employed and licensed by our PF-authorized partner, not civilian bodyguards; luxury service standards that blend into five-star environments; and exclusive Brazil focus built on our team's 15+ years of protection experience, integrated with our full security portfolio.
