About us

A Swiss company built on discretion

Umbra Protection AG is an independent Swiss company specialising in close protection and security services.

We work for private clients, companies and public authorities who expect absolute discretion and a precise, reliable standard of execution. Every mandate is planned individually and carried out by a dedicated team under a single point of contact.

Our values

  • Discretion

    We keep a low profile. Our work shows in the outcome, not in our appearance.

  • Confidentiality

    What we see and hear stays with us – formalised from the very first contact.

  • Integrity

    We act lawfully, honestly and always in our clients’ best interest.

  • Professionalism

    Thorough preparation, clear procedures and trained officers on every mission.

  • Reliability

    We do what we say – on time and to the agreed standard.

  • Adaptability

    Programmes change. We adapt quickly without ever losing control of the situation.

How we work

Five steps, from the first conversation to the debrief.

  1. Confidential first contact

    A direct, discreet conversation. Confidentiality is formalised from the outset, with a non-disclosure agreement when required.

  2. Information gathering & threat assessment

    We collect what matters: profiles, schedules, venues, travel and known concerns. Any gaps are closed before deployment, never assumed.

  3. Tailored operational plan

    Every mission gets its own written operating procedure: team composition, roles, transport, routes, local contacts, legal framework and emergency procedures.

  4. Discreet execution

    A dedicated team led by a team leader, low profile by default and always together. One point of contact for the client throughout the mission.

  5. Debrief & continuity

    A debrief after each mission. Lessons learned and client preferences are kept, so every following mission starts better prepared.
