Praetorian Executive Protection
HNW / Family Office Program

High Net Worth Security Services

An integrated protection program built around the full exposure profile of HNW individuals, executives, and family offices. Physical, residential, travel, and digital threat coverage in one coordinated program.

At a Glance

Praetorian Executive Protection delivers high-net-worth security as one integrated program rather than a stack of uncoordinated vendors. Services cover executive protection, residential security, travel security, digital threat protection, and family detail coverage across Florida. Every engagement is tailored after a confidential threat assessment and managed under a Florida Class B Security Agency (License B3600136).

High-net-worth security is not a single service. It is the integration of executive protection, residential security, travel security, digital threat protection, and family detail into a single coordinated program managed by one accountable provider.

Most HNW families and executives carry five to ten different vendor relationships across alarms, guards, drivers, travel agents, and cybersecurity. The gaps between those vendors are where incidents actually happen.

Praetorian builds the program that closes those gaps. Every engagement is tailored after a confidential threat assessment.

The four variables that drive program design

What Shapes an HNW Protection Program

Wealth Concentration

Public wealth reporting, real estate filings, and social posting build a targeting profile before an adversary ever approaches a principal physically.

Vendor Fragmentation

Five to ten separate vendors across alarms, guards, drivers, travel, and cyber create handoff gaps where coordination fails and incidents happen.

Family Exposure

Spouses, children, schools, tutors, and household staff all carry patterns adversaries can observe. Protection has to cover the full household, not just the principal.

Digital Surface

Home addresses on data broker sites, geotagged family photos, corporate bios, and property records create the intelligence backbone of any physical targeting effort.

Why Vendor-Stack HNW Security Fails
  • Multiple uncoordinated vendors create gaps at every handoff. The residential alarm company does not know the principal's travel schedule. The driver does not see the digital threat feed. The cyber team does not hear about the stalker complaint.
  • Published day-rate pricing ignores the program-level work that actually protects a HNW family: quarterly risk briefings, documented emergency response plans, ongoing staff vetting, and digital footprint maintenance.
  • Off-the-shelf executive protection addresses the principal during movement but leaves the residence, the children's routines, and the digital exposure unaddressed. Those are the surfaces where most incidents originate.

Integrated Coverage Across Home, Travel, and Public Life

A HNW program covers the environments where exposure is highest and connects them so nothing falls through. Residential security including assessment, systems, staff vetting, and on-site coverage when needed.

Close protection during movements, events, and high-visibility periods. Secure transportation between residences, FBOs, offices, and venues.

Travel security for international trips, yacht charters, and cruise engagements. Digital threat protection covering data broker removal, social media threat monitoring, and doxxing prevention.

Every layer is the same agency with shared intelligence, not a stack of uncoordinated vendors.

Family Security Without Disrupting Family Life

HNW security should protect a family without turning its life into a compound. Praetorian works directly with household managers and family offices to deliver protocols the family can actually live with: discreet operators, privacy planning, school-age children's routines, age-appropriate family training, and procedures that adapt as children grow.

Where a female principal or female family members prefer a same-gender protection specialist, the Lioness Program delivers trained female operators who integrate naturally into private and social settings.

Digital Exposure and Threat Intelligence

Physical security begins with digital exposure. Home addresses on data broker sites, geotagged family photos, corporate bios detailing travel schedules, and public property records create the targeting profile that adversaries assemble before any physical move.

Praetorian's digital threat protection program scrubs data broker exposure, monitors social media and paste sites for direct threats, manages the principal's and family members' digital footprints, and runs doxxing prevention and incident response. Intelligence is paired with the physical detail so that an elevated online signal immediately raises the on-the-ground posture.

Family Office Coordination and Written Documentation

Family offices need a partner that produces documentation, not just operators on scene. Praetorian delivers a written security program (residential assessment, travel protocols, emergency response plans, staff screening procedures, incident response framework), quarterly risk briefings, and coordination with wealth management, legal counsel, and insurance carriers when relevant.

For family offices that already retain a CSO, Praetorian operates as a coordinated implementation partner. For families without one, Praetorian serves as the accountable owner of the protection program end-to-end.

Frequently Asked

High Net Worth Security FAQs

What is high-net-worth security?

An integrated protection program built around the full exposure profile of a wealthy individual or family. It connects executive protection, residential security, travel security, digital threat protection, and family detail into one coordinated program rather than a stack of uncoordinated vendors. Coverage spans home, travel, and public life.

How is HNW security different from executive protection alone?

Executive protection addresses the principal during movement. HNW security addresses the full life: home, travel, family members, digital footprint, household staff, and public exposure. A HNW family has more surfaces to defend, more people to protect, and more complex logistics. The program reflects that.

Does Praetorian work with existing family offices and CSOs?

Yes. Praetorian supports family offices as the security program owner or as an implementation partner alongside an existing CSO. Quarterly briefings, integration with wealth management and legal teams, and a single point of contact for the protection program.

What does an HNW security program cost?

HNW programs are quoted after a confidential threat assessment. Assessment-only engagements typically start around $5,000. Ongoing programs combining residential, travel, and digital threat protection run $15,000 to $60,000 per month before any standing close-protection detail. Standing details scale the monthly investment further. Every engagement is custom-priced and itemized.

Is Praetorian licensed to operate statewide in Florida?

Yes. Praetorian Executive Protection LLC is a Florida Class B licensed Security Agency (License B3600136). Operators are W-2 employees of the agency holding active Class D or Class G licensure and are covered under agency workers' compensation and general liability. Praetorian operates statewide and deploys nationally and internationally for client engagements.
