Few private security disciplines are recognised internationally by national identity alone. Israeli security is one of them. Built through decades of operating in one of the most demanding threat environments in the world, the Israeli approach to protection has become a global reference point for intelligence-led, behaviour-based, prevention-first security work — applied today across executive protection in Israel, aviation security, cyber security and high-risk advisory.

R&H Global Protection is a privately held Israeli security company, delivering protective services to executives, family offices, corporates, diplomatic missions and government clients across more than forty countries. Operating in its home jurisdiction, the firm sits inside the national security ecosystem that defines this discipline globally. Our operational model integrates close protection, secure transportation, residential security, cyber risk and protective intelligence into a single discipline — the way Israeli national security has always treated them.

This page sets out who we are, how we operate, what an engagement with a security company in Israel of our standard actually looks like, and the regulatory and pricing reality behind the work.

Why Security in Israel Is Not Standard Private Security

Israel is not a standard private security environment. Executives, diplomats, family offices, public figures and business travellers operating in or visiting the country may face exposure linked to regional tension, public visibility, cyber targeting, protest activity, terrorism risk and sensitive business interests in defence, technology and energy. A credible Israeli protective security provider must combine protective intelligence, local legal knowledge, secure movement planning and discreet executive protection in Israel — not adapt a Western guarding model after the fact.

That operational reality is the reason a serious Israeli security company is built differently from a guarding business. The capability is intelligence-led from day one, structured around prevention, and configured to operate at low visibility across a country where the threat picture changes by neighbourhood, by date and by current event.


What the Israeli Security Methodology Actually Means

The phrase “Israeli security” is used freely across the global protective services market, often as a marketing label rather than an operational reality. Done properly, it describes a specific working method developed inside Israel’s national security ecosystem and translated into private practice over the last three decades — refined at Ben Gurion Airport, on diplomatic protection details, in counter-terror policing across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and in the protection of public figures under sustained threat.

Five operating principles define the approach:

  • Prevention over reaction — Every assignment begins with the assumption that the best protective outcome is the incident that never happens. Resources are weighted toward intelligence, advance work and behavioural filtering rather than physical confrontation.

  • Behavioural detection — Operators are trained to read people, not just perimeters. The same questioning technique used to screen Ben Gurion Airport passengers — looking for behavioural anomalies rather than profile categories — runs through how Israeli protection teams assess venues, staff and approach vectors around a principal.

  • Layered filtering — Threats are intercepted at the outer layer, not at the principal. Protective design uses concentric behavioural and informational filters, supported by physical measures only where they are operationally justified.

  • Intelligence integration — Each operation feeds and is fed by a continuous intelligence picture — open-source, technical, and human. Protective intelligence is not a separate department in this discipline; it is the daily input that drives tasking.

  • Operational humility — Israeli protective doctrine assumes the threat actor is intelligent, patient and capable. Plans are stress-tested against that assumption, not against the average case.

Unlike most international private security firms, where executive protection is bolted onto a guarding business, R&H Global Protection operates as a security company in Israel built from the ground up around protective intelligence, behavioural detection and discreet, low-profile execution.


Why Choose an Israeli Security Company?

R&H Global Protection is an Israeli security company built around prevention, protective intelligence, behavioural detection, secure movement planning and discreet executive protection. For clients operating in Israel, the difference is not only manpower — it is methodology, local legal understanding and the ability to integrate physical protection, cyber security in Israel, secure transportation in Israel and strategic risk advisory in Israel into one operational framework.

Three practical advantages follow from working with a security company in Israel rather than an overseas firm flying capability in:

  • Operating doctrine that matches the environment — The Israeli security services model treats every assignment as an intelligence problem first and a manpower problem second. That orientation produces lighter footprints, fewer incidents and better outcomes for principals.

  • Local legal and regulatory fluency — Firearms licensing, vehicle regulations, host-venue coordination, police liaison — a domestic provider operates inside this framework daily. An international firm has to retain a local fixer to do the same work, with the inevitable loss of control and confidentiality that introduces.

  • Integrated capability — Close protection, secure transportation, cyber risk, residential security and strategic advisory sit under one operational picture, with one named lead. Most overseas providers will sub-contract one or more of those functions; the integration penalty shows up in the threat assessment.


Executive Protection & Close Protection Services

Our flagship discipline. Our operators deliver Israeli executive protection and close personal protection for principals at risk, families, public figures, founders, investors and visiting dignitaries — inside Israel and on assignment internationally. Clients who hire the firm are engaging a protective unit, not a single bodyguard.

Each detail is built around the principal's actual life: routine, travel pattern, family structure, public exposure, business sensitivities. We do not deploy uniform packages. A founder who travels weekly between Tel Aviv, London and New York will receive a different operational design than a family relocating to Herzliya for the school year.

Close Protection for Executives and HNW individuals

Typical assignment profile: one or two operatives, discreet civilian dress, integrated with the principal's existing staff and drivers, multi-country mobility, 24-hour or working-hours coverage.

Family and Child Protection

Typical assignment profile: female and male operators, school-run integration, residential coverage, low-visibility profile. The firm runs dedicated female bodyguard services for principals who require gender-matched protection.

Diplomatic, Delegation and Corporate Visit Protection

Typical assignment profile: advance team, lead car, principal vehicle, follow car where threat justifies; protocol-aware behaviour around government and media interaction. See our work on security for delegations.

Crisis and Elevated-Threat Details

Typical assignment profile: armed operators where legally permitted, hardened transport, residential lockdown procedures, coordination with local police liaison and embassy security where required.

All close protection officers on the firm's roster are vetted privately, hold valid Israeli firearms credentials where armed work is conducted in Israel, and operate under written rules of engagement specific to each jurisdiction.


Secure Transportation & Protective Driving in Israel

In Israeli protective doctrine, movement is treated as a tactical phase, not a logistics task. The car is the most exposed environment a principal occupies during the working day, and the route is the most predictable element of any threat actor's planning cycle.

Secure transportation in Israel is one of the firm's most heavily utilised service lines. The operations desk covers the full ground-mobility spectrum across the country — from Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) transfers and Tel Aviv business circuits to long-distance routes between Jerusalem, Haifa, Caesarea and Eilat.

Airport Transfers and VIP Terminal Coordination

Typical assignment profile: advance reconnaissance of arrival window, coordination with the Fattal VIP Terminal where used, discreet meet-and-assist, low-profile vehicle, primary and alternate routes pre-cleared.

Urban Executive Driving in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem

Typical assignment profile: driver-operator dual-role personnel, sedan or executive SUV, route timing built around live traffic and protest activity, drop-off and pick-up protocols rehearsed at each recurring address.

Long-Distance and Intercity Protective Transport

Typical assignment profile: two-vehicle profile where threat or distance justifies; fuel, comms and emergency-stop planning; medical kit on board; arrival-side handover where teams change at jurisdiction boundaries.

Drivers are not contract chauffeurs. Every operator behind the wheel on an R&H assignment is a trained protection officer first and a driver second — the doctrine that distinguishes Israeli protective driving from premium chauffeur services that have added "security" branding to their offer.


Security Training & Krav Maga Instruction

The company delivers training programmes to private clients, corporate security teams, government units and police organisations — drawing on the Israeli operational base while building each curriculum around the trainee's legal framework and operational reality.

Executive and Close Protection Courses

Full-cycle protection training covering advance work, foot and vehicle formations, embus/debus drills, principal communication, medical response and post-incident behaviour. Delivered residentially in Israel or on-site for organisational clients.

Surveillance Detection and Counter-Surveillance

A discipline we regard as undertrained in the Western private market. Programmes cover route-based surveillance detection, static observation posts, pattern-of-life analysis and the cognitive errors that compromise covert work.

Krav Maga for Security Professionals

Operational Krav Maga — built for protective scenarios rather than the recreational curriculum found in commercial gyms. Conducted in line with the Krav Maga Federation operational tradition and adapted to close protection use cases.

Security Training for Government and Military

The training arm provides advanced instruction to police units, presidential guards and military protection elements internationally, including extended deployments under our African training programmes.


Cyber Security as an Integrated Protective Layer

A physical protection plan that ignores the digital exposure of the principal is incomplete. The first phase of most modern targeting work — whether by criminal, intelligence or activist actors — is online: social media exposure, leaked personal data, business filings, location patterns inferred from public posts.

The firm integrates cyber risk as an operational layer of every protective engagement, not a separate consulting product.

Executive Digital Footprint Reduction

Audit and reduction of the principal's exposed personal data — public records, leaked credentials, family social media surface, business filings that expose residential address.

Targeted Threat Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of named-mention activity across surface web, dark web and closed messaging channels relevant to the principal's profile.

Travel Device Hygiene and Secure Communications

Pre-travel device hardening, encrypted comms configuration, and on-trip protocols for jurisdictions with elevated technical surveillance risk.

Incident Response and Digital Crisis Coordination

Coordination between the physical protection team and external cyber response providers when a digital event escalates — extortion attempts, deepfake campaigns, family-member targeting.

The integration matters. A protective intelligence team that sees both the physical advance picture and the digital exposure picture produces a meaningfully different threat assessment than either function operating in isolation.


Security Consulting & Strategic Risk Advisory

For corporate clients, family offices and institutions, R&H delivers strategic risk advisory in Israel and internationally — sized to the engagement, independent of any guarding sub-contract, and delivered by senior practitioners.

Engagements include security audits of residences and corporate facilities, executive risk profiling, event and delegation planning, kidnap-and-ransom preparedness review, travel security policy design, and crisis management exercises. Where useful, we benchmark against ASIS International executive protection standards and adapt rather than copy international frameworks.

The output is not a generic risk register. It is a working document the client's existing team can implement, with prioritised actions, defensible thresholds and a realistic budget framework.


Residential & Family Protection in Israel

The home is the single most consequential security node in most principals' lives. Our residential work in Israel covers physical security design, staffing, vetting of domestic personnel, integration of intrusion and surveillance technology, and family movement coordination.

For HNW families resident in Herzliya Pituach, North Tel Aviv, Caesarea, Savyon and Jerusalem's western neighbourhoods, we operate dedicated residential teams that integrate with household staff, school-run protection and weekend movement patterns. The operating posture is deliberately low-profile — Israeli residential protection succeeds when neighbours do not know it is in place.


Security Services Across Israel

The company delivers security services in Israel on a nationwide basis, with permanent operational capability across the principal commercial, diplomatic and residential corridors. Coverage includes Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Herzliya Pituach, Jerusalem, Caesarea, Haifa, Netanya, Savyon, Ramat Gan, Eilat, Ben Gurion Airport and the wider Tel Aviv–Jerusalem corridor that carries the majority of executive movement in the country.

Each location has its own operational character. Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan dominate the business and tech-sector calendar. Herzliya Pituach, Savyon and Caesarea concentrate HNW residential exposure. Jerusalem requires fluency in the political, religious and protest dynamics that shape the calendar. Haifa, Netanya and the northern coastal cities introduce industrial, port and northern-border considerations. Eilat shifts the profile toward leisure, yacht and family movement.

Security services in Israel are not interchangeable from one corridor to the next. A serious provider designs the protective posture, vehicle profile and team composition around the specific location, not the country as a whole.


Regulatory Framework — Private Security in Israel

Private security in Israel is regulated principally under the supervision of the Israel Police and the Israeli Ministry of National Security. Three regulatory realities shape how a legitimate security company in Israel can operate:

  • Firearms licensing is restrictive and individual — Carry permits are granted to vetted individuals based on documented operational need, not blanket-issued to companies. Any operator carrying a firearm on a protection detail in Israel does so under a personal licence.

  • Operator vetting is non-negotiable — Security operators in Israel are expected to clear background, criminal record and operational vetting; reputable firms maintain internal vetting that exceeds the regulatory minimum.

  • Cross-jurisdictional work is governed by host-country law — When the firm deploys outside Israel — to the United Kingdom, the United States, the UAE, Switzerland, France or elsewhere — operations run under the host country’s licensing regime. Armed work is conducted only where lawful, and unarmed protection is configured to be equally effective in jurisdictions where private armed protection is restricted.

The framework matters for clients. A credible private security firm in Israel should be able to explain, in writing, the legal basis for every operator on a detail.

Global Operations from a Base in Israel

The operational centre is in Israel, with permanent network capability across eight priority hubs that account for the majority of our principals' movement patterns: Tel Aviv (HQ), London, New York, Dubai, Paris, Monaco, Geneva and Singapore. Standing arrangements with vetted partners extend coverage to a further forty-plus cities — including Tokyo, Milan, Madrid, Los Angeles and Miami.

The operating principle is simple: a principal travelling from Tel Aviv to any of these locations should encounter the same standard of protective work on the ground as they receive at home. The team may change; the discipline does not.


Who Hires Israeli Security Services?

The client base of a high-end Israeli security company is not the same as the mass-market guarding sector. The firm is engaged by principals whose exposure profile requires intelligence-led, discreet, accountable work — not visible presence.

  • Executives visiting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem — Senior corporate visitors to Israel — defence, technology, energy, finance — who need protective coverage from arrival at Ben Gurion through meetings, residential transfers and onward travel.

  • Family offices relocating to or operating in Israel — Family office security in Israel is one of the firm’s core engagement types: vetting of household staff, residential design, school-run protection, weekend movement and integrated cyber exposure management.

  • Diplomatic delegations and official visits — Diplomatic security support in Israel covering advance work, motorcade coordination, venue security and protocol-aware close protection for delegation principals.

  • Technology founders and senior tech leadership — Founders, board members and senior leadership of Israeli and international technology firms whose exposure increases sharply at funding events, IPO windows, M&A activity and public profile spikes.

  • Defence and energy sector executives — Principals whose business interests increase the standing threat profile and who require sustained, low-visibility protection in Israel and abroad.

  • Public figures, celebrities and high-profile visitors — Discreet protection for entertainers, athletes, religious leaders and public figures visiting or resident in Israel.

  • Jewish diaspora families visiting Israel — Families travelling for extended visits, lifecycle events or relocation, who require trusted in-country protection for the duration of the trip.

  • Investors, board members and HNW visitors — Private security for HNW families and individual visitors with elevated visibility, sensitive business interests or specific threat indicators.

Selection runs in both directions. The firm does not work with parties subject to credible sanctions, active criminal investigation that compromises its legal position, or operational profiles that cannot be delivered responsibly.


Why R&H Global Protection Is Trusted as a Security Company in Israel

As a security company in Israel working with a deliberately constrained client list, R&H is built around senior practitioners rather than scaled headcount. Each engagement is assigned a named operational lead who carries the file from initial risk assessment through delivery and after-action review. Documentation is maintained to evidentiary standard. Confidentiality is enforced contractually and operationally — staff do not name clients in any external context, and detail-level information is compartmentalised.

The firm's leadership team draws on senior backgrounds across Israeli military protective security and law enforcement; selected advisors hold parallel international credentials. We do not publish unit-level pedigrees of individual operators — that is itself an Israeli operating norm — but we are transparent about the vetting standard each operator clears.

R&H is structured to remain accountable to the client, not to a parent guarding business. There is no upsell ladder. There is no obligation to convert advisory work into manned guarding. Recommendations reflect operational judgement, not commercial pull-through.


Contact R&H Global Protection

R&H Global Protection works with a deliberately small number of principals at any given time. Engagement begins with a confidential conversation and a written risk assessment — not a sales call. From that point, the operational team builds a protective design around the specific reality of the principal's life and business, drawing on the full close protection, secure transportation, cyber and protective intelligence capability of the firm.

Operations are coordinated Available 24/7 from our Israel base, with senior duty leadership reachable at any hour for engaged clients and qualified enquiries.
