Protective surveillance wherever you operate

Empire Protection provides protective surveillance to identify, assess and manage emerging threats to a principal. Working covertly, our operators watch for hostile interest — surveillance, fixation, reconnaissance — and feed early warning to the wider protection effort, all without the visible footprint of a close protection detail.

The capability spans covert and overt surveillance operations, threat identification and monitoring, surveillance detection support, and intelligence collection and reporting. It can run alongside a close protection program or stand on its own where a low-visibility posture is preferred, giving decision-makers the indicators they need before a threat materialises.

Empire Protection delivers this capability across our Australia, USA and global operations, with software-supported governance, risk & compliance.

What's included

Covert & overt surveillance

Surveillance operations run covertly, or overtly where deterrence is the aim.

Threat identification & monitoring

Watching for hostile interest, fixation and reconnaissance around the principal.

Surveillance detection support

Detecting whether a principal is being watched, and by whom.

Intelligence collection & reporting

Clear, timely reporting that turns observation into decisions.

Early warning indicators

Indicators delivered to the protection team before a threat develops.

Who it's for

Principals and organisations who want early warning of hostile interest without a visible security presence — high-profile individuals, executives and families, and anyone who suspects they may be under surveillance. It suits both standalone tasking and ongoing support to a wider protection program.
