How is the quality of security ensured?

Quality assurance is an integral part of our work. Regular audits, unannounced inspection visits, structured deployment evaluations and performance evaluations ensure that the agreed level of protection is maintained permanently. All processes meet DEKRA's requirements.

Can existing security structures be integrated?

Of course. We analyse existing security measures and integrate them into our concept. Whether it's existing security personnel, installed technology or existing deployment plans — we build on what works and make targeted additions where there are gaps.

Which technical systems are used?

We advise on the integration and use of existing security technology — from video surveillance and electronic access systems to alarm systems and intercom systems. Our service lies in personnel monitoring and the intelligent combination of technology and operational security. Technical advice is provided independently of the manufacturer.

From what size of company is professional property protection worthwhile?

Professional property protection is not tied to a specific company size. The vulnerability of the location, the value of the assets, regulatory requirements and the specific threat situation are decisive. Even medium-sized companies benefit from structured access control and night-time security.

How do I contact the team in an emergency?

About our Emergency hotline (+49 (0) 5141593 4420), which is staffed around the clock. Alternatively by email for general inquiries. After receiving your call, we will immediately initiate the situation briefing and, if necessary, activate the KIT (Crisis Intervention Team).

Do you also work with authorities?

Yes. In acute situations, we coordinate our measures closely with police and emergency services. We know the regulatory structures, respect responsibilities and ensure that our assignments are legally correct and cooperative.

What exactly is KIT (Crisis Intervention Team)?

A constantly available deployment of experienced security personnel who are trained for acute and short-term deployments. The team is available around the clock and operational across Europe within 24 hours — for personal protection, property security, crisis support and evacuations.

What role does cooperation with authorities play in event security?

A central one. Police, fire departments and regulatory authorities are not opponents of the organizer, but necessary partners for safe implementation. A good security concept is developed in agreement with the competent authorities — not against them. This requires experience in dealing with regulatory requirements and the ability to communicate professionally on equal footing. For the organizer, this usually means less friction in the approval process and more planning security.

Can event security also be organized at short notice?

Basically yes – but with restrictions. The quality of a safety operation is directly related to the preparation time. Professional structures can be set up for standardized formats within a few days. More advance notice is required for more complex events involving regulatory coordination, specific risk situations or an international context. Through our KIT (Crisis Intervention Team), we are able to provide operational teams across Europe, even under time pressure — within 24 hours.

What qualifications should security personnel have at events?

It depends on the task. In principle, commercial security personnel in Germany must have the minimum qualification of 40 hours Evidence from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce or the expert examination in accordance with § 34AgEwO. Additional training such as evacuation workers, fire protection assistants and first aid is particularly helpful here. In addition, we train our staff in de-escalation training in conflict management and tactical emergency medicine.

What distinguishes professional event security from a pure security service?

A security service fulfils an important but clearly limited function — such as admission checks or seat assignments. Professional event security goes much further. It starts with a risk analysis, includes the development of a safety concept, coordination with authorities and emergency services, operational management on site and the ability to react to unforeseen situations. It is not just about presence, but also about the ability to act. These structural conditions are then also reflected in communication and public image. The staff at the entrance is often the first thing your visitors and guests see and is therefore a figurehead for your event and company.

How early should I involve a security service provider in event planning?

As soon as possible. Security is not a module that you add retrospectively to event planning — it must be considered from the start. Early involvement also makes sense, especially for events that require approval, because official coordination requires time. As a guide: For major events, authorities recommend a lead time of at least three months. For complex formats or international events, correspondingly more.

What exactly does a security concept for events include?

A professional security concept is not a standard document, but event-specific planning. It defines responsibilities and decision-making processes, contains a risk analysis with an assessment of the specific risk scenarios and, based on this, defines structural, technical and organizational measures — from access controls and flow of people to communication structures and evacuation plans. It is crucial that the concept does not stay in a drawer, but is implemented operationally and known to all parties involved.

From what size of event is a professional security concept required?

A formal security concept in accordance with Section 43 VStättVO is required by law for meeting places with more than 5,000 visitors — or if the type of event requires it. In practice, however, a professional safety assessment is recommended even for significantly smaller events. Factors such as venue, target group, public accessibility and risk potential are often more relevant than the mere number of visitors. Authorities can also demand a concept for smaller events if they see an increased risk.

What distinguishes Cesiun GmbH's property protection and security specialists?

Our qualified security personnel in the area of property protection have a Security training. Because as a safety specialist in Object protection Working — that is more than just being present and being able to physically defend yourself when necessary. Specialists in Object protection are trained to identify critical situations and to react in a demand-oriented manner. De-escalating skills are just as important as social skills and the ability to work in a team.

prowess qualified property guards eine Competence test According to paragraph 34 A of the Trade Code, they are therefore qualified compared to unskilled workers to carry out inspections in public spaces such as in shopping centers, parks, discotheques or pedestrian zones. In addition, they acquire knowledge in safety technology, de-escalation strategies, how to deal with hazardous and conflict situations and have knowledge in accident prevention. The qualified and responsible use of weapons, basic knowledge of criminal law and criminal procedural law, in the Civil Code, in commercial and data protection law, and in public order and security law, are also included. Of course, all our employees have a flawless police clearance certificate.

One area that is increasingly relevant is IT security, in which specialists for Object protection should also have knowledge. This includes identifying threats to modern IT systems, basic knowledge of how to work malware as well as from prevention software. What should be done if there is an attack on the IT infrastructure? Property protection specialists should also know this. Coordination with in-house IT security is essential for this.

Who in Object protection works, should also be well versed in the areas of “fire protection and evacuation.” A qualified property protection officer needs basic and application-relevant qualification in preventive fire protection, as a first-time firefighter and must know what he can do in the event of an evacuation in a legally secure manner.

We love working as Object protectors especially because it is so versatile. The task area is located at the interface between Facility Management, firefighting and security. In case of doubt, it is therefore essential that our employees have immediate, life-saving measures and first aid down pat. In an emergency, you must know the alarm chains in order to get professional help and, as a first aider, be able to react to injuries, shock or respiratory failure. The correct use of a defibrillator when necessary is also part of this.

Of course, you must Object protectors They are also familiar with the technical infrastructures of different buildings. How do elevators work? How can defects be repaired or people rescued from an elevator?

Special psychological abilities are also important. How can the object guard act in a de-escalating situation? How can the use of force and physical attacks be avoided? What are the special features of the psyche of people from different social groups or with different cultural backgrounds? How can specific attacks be repelled and certain behaviours subconsciously retrieved promptly? Property guards must meet all these diverse requirements. In order to be able to make this knowledge available at all times, we at Cesiun strive to continuously train and qualify our employees.

Basic knowledge about money-value transportation may also be relevant. As a qualified specialist in the area Object protection There should be knowledge about the structure of cash transporters and expertise about the applicable regulations. Also important in this area: How do I protect myself in the event of specific risks and how do I assess a risk situation?

Property guards must also be experienced with radio equipment and be able to continue to communicate even in the event of faults. For this purpose, knowledge of NATO alphabet. Our world is becoming more and more international, which is why we make sure that our property protection specialists also speak English for security forces. With regular shooting practice and continuing education in the area of service and expertise in the security industry, we maintain our employees' knowledge of the use of firearms and ammunition as well as the safe handling of weapons always up to date. Last but not least, it is of course also a matter of knowing the limits of one's own activity and knowing on which basis of law and order work as an object protector is based.

Which legal aspects must be considered in personal protection?

Qualified service providers in the area of personal protection must obtain a state security permit in accordance with Section 34a GewO for security companies. Not absolutely necessary, but useful for working in personal protection, there is also an IHK expert examination, basic personal protection training and extended training in legal issues and psychology. Bodyguards should also complete regular driving safety and fitness training and be able to defend themselves. Also very important: Knowledge of initial help.

The legal basis for working in personal protection is the so-called “everyman rights”, which are based on a preliminary arrest SECTION 127 STPO allowed, as well as self-defense, emergency aid and the state of emergency. Working as a private bodyguard must be differentiated from police and sovereign rights and powers. It is important for employees in personal protection to know the legal framework of their work and to align their work accordingly. Because even bodyguards do not work in lawless areas. At Cesiun, you can be sure that our employees are qualified in all relevant aspects and are well prepared for their important role as bodyguards through continuous education and training.

Because it is about you, your freedom and your safety

What do the specially protected vehicles from Cesiun GmbH do in terms of personal protection?

Cesiun is one of the few security service providers in Germany that offers specially protected vehicles for personal protection — from light-armored limousines to off-road vehicles with the highest military protection class. Our drivers are specially trained to deal with the changed driving behavior of armored vehicles, know how to drive in a convoy and communicate with support vehicles.

In which cases is armed personal protection recommended?

Whether armed personal protection is necessary depends on the individual risk analysis carried out by the competent authorities. In many cases, our protection personnel explicitly want protection from armed personnel. All of our deployed employees have official permission to carry firearms and regularly train how to handle them responsibly. Together with you, we will discuss transparently in which situations armed protection is recommended and which alternatives may be considered.

Are women also used as bodyguards?

Yes The demand for female bodyguards has risen significantly in recent years — and for good reasons. In the family environment and in discreet protective tasks, women stand out less and create a different relationship of trust. Female bodyguards are essential, particularly for families with appropriate cultural backgrounds, where male accompanying persons are out of the question for female family members. In addition, they have special skills in de-escalation and bring a high level of empathy and understanding of the situation

How does Cesiun GmbH ensure freedom of movement and discretion?

In his memoirs “A Promised Land,” former US President Barak Obama impressively describes the tension between freedom of movement and the need for protection that has arisen in contact with his bodyguards. Even as a candidate in the election campaign, Obama was supported by a team from Secret Service instructed because the threats against him had reached an unprecedented level.

Even though the team of his protection team does everything they can to act in the background and discreetly, Obama describes how he compulsively limited his range of motion and made his bodyguards sweat with spontaneous breaks out of his tight safety corset. “I knew that unpredictability made their job more difficult for my bodyguards and increased the agents' risk,” writes the ex-president. He thus comprehensibly describes the tension in which bodyguards must act: to combine maximum individual safety with maximum freedom of movement and discretion. In Barak Obama's case, his family was also affected. The Obama couple were careful that their daughters could freely accept invitations from school friends and their everyday school life without the bodyguards being too visible.

How can this area of tension be resolved? At Cesiun, we rely on open discussion, on a balance between the amount of freedom that is justifiable and the necessary restraint, which appears appropriate. In our opinion, this also includes behaving empathetically towards the person responsible, who may feel restricted and observed, and to ensure moments of freedom. This sometimes requires some preparation and attention, but above all empathetic reflections on one's own role as a bodyguard with regard to the situation of the person protecting the person concerned. It is therefore all the more important to us to have a trusting and good relationship with people who need protection, because we sometimes participate closely in their everyday lives. Social competence and sensitivity are important.


Absolute reliability, secrecy and discretion are therefore the most important tasks for a professional bodyguard, whom we diligently carry out in our day-to-day work descendants.

What is indirect personal protection?

Indirect personal protection acts invisibly in the background. His task: environmental analyses, route planning, risk assessment and mitigating potential threats before they become acute. In combination with immediate personal protection, a seamless security system is created. A key advantage: Attackers also need preparation — and it is precisely in this phase that indirect personal protection detects suspicious activity and can identify and mitigate threats without involving the protection person.

What is immediate personal protection?

There are two types of specialist areas in personal protection. On the one hand, we speak of indirect personal protection and on the other hand of direct personal protection. There is also often talk of preventive and operational personal protection to describe both types of protection. In order to achieve maximum safety and effective protection for a person to be protected, both types of protection must be combined in a well-thought-out combination. A combination of indirect and direct personal protection with a different weighting is also possible. This depends on the risk situation and the need for protection. A time-limited combination of both types of protection can also be implemented within a security concept.

Direct personal protection describes the type of protection that many people directly associate with the term personal protection: The person to be protected is immediately assisted by a bodyguard who ensures safety in all everyday situations. He directly supports the person to be protected, should intervene in dangerous situations and mitigate them through active and direct action. Ideally, the bodyguard is your watchful, trusting companion who stands in front of you in an emergency or brings you to safety quickly and in a targeted manner.

It is always an advantage if the bodyguard is not on its own, but through an indirect personal protection is provided with relevant information. Direct personal protection does not always involve just one bodyguard. Several bodyguards often work closely on the Protectors and as a team. We do this as discreetly and inconspicuously as possible to help the person entrusted to us have an unbiased perception by third parties.

What distinguishes the qualified bodyguards at Cesiun GmbH?

Our bodyguards combine well-founded specialist training with many years of operational experience, in the government and private sectors. They are trained in accordance with § 7 WaffG, regularly train self-defense and tactical emergency medicine, are trained to use specially protected vehicles and complete continuous shooting training. Just as important: a clear head in stressful situations, empathy and the ability to recognize dangers before they occur. Discretion, structured thinking and maximum physical fitness are a matter of course for our emergency personnel.

How is the safety and risk situation analysed?

How specific is the threat situation? Are there already signs of an imminent attack? Is the hazard more diffuse and less tangible? In which situations are there a major security issue? Do certain routes or events have to be secured? All of these questions must be carefully examined during a detailed analysis of the safety and risk situation, individually based on each individual case. How likely is a potential source of damage? As part of a safety and hazard analysis, it is in fact a detailed risk assessment and the determination of targeted protective measures. This is the basis for a protection concept whose key points must be strictly adhered to in order to be able to guarantee the highest level of safety and an individual sense of protection.

As part of the safety analysis, various scenarios are thought through and rehearsed. Situations are also played out that are considered unlikely but cannot be ruled out. Violence is limitless — that is why potential threats, no matter how unlikely and considered insane, should be addressed and considered in order to tailor the security concept to all contingencies. Our protection personnel benefit from our many years of experience in the area of personal protection and Security, Property and event protection benefit. It is important to correctly assess the individual situation and to openly explain all possible critical risk situations. It is essential to include people from the environment of the persons to be protected in order to be able to take into account as diverse perspectives and horizons of experience as possible in the protection concept. People's own perception of the security situation sometimes differs from the perception of people in their immediate personal and professional environment. Habits and unconscious carelessness should be disclosed and considered. Even if it is necessary to improvise in certain situations, certain principles should serve as a firm basis in a safety concept. The concept must be as complete as possible and must not have any black spots in which a gateway remains open for attacks or attacks. Ultimately, this is also about acceptance. Because the best security concept is absolutely no good if the protection person cannot submit to it. Trust also plays the most important role in this context. Ideally, the safety concept is a joint definition of bodyguard and the Protectors, which depicts the realities and dangerous situation and concrete guidelines for conduct pretends.

In which situations do you need personal protection?

Personal protection becomes relevant when you are exposed to a particular risk situation due to your social position, wealth, level of awareness or influence on economic or political decisions. This applies to entrepreneurs, politicians, athletes and artists as well as people who have already been specifically threatened — through stalking, blackmail or coercion. The authorities distinguish between three risk levels, from the acute risk of attack (level I) to the basic threat situation without immediate risk (level III), and adjust the protective measures accordingly

What is personal protection?

Professional personal protection uses a variety of protective measures to prevent attacks against the life and limb of the person entrusted to the bodyguard. His physical integrity, freedom of action and will as well as protection against abduction, hostage taking or extortion are paramount. The personal protection is not necessarily suitable for an individual, but also for a group of people or a family. Protecting children is also part of our task, which we carry out sensitively and responsibly.

As much personal freedom as possible, as much discreet protection as necessary, is our maxim. You should feel well protected and safe at all times, but at the same time be able to continue your everyday life as unhindered as possible. In this respect, a professional and effective personal protection Always seen in the area of conflict between privacy and the need for protection. For us, consideration for the needs and wishes of individuals worthy of protection and efficient prevention of threats go hand in hand.

personal protection is not always aimed at famous people who are in public life, nor is it always aimed at people who are at particular risk of blackmail or kidnapping due to their social position. We often protect people who have a great responsibility, who belong to or are close to specific target groups, who can be targeted by attacks. This also includes key witnesses, officials, senior officials, judges and leading figures from the economy — in short, people who are exposed to a particular risk situation, who may be a target of organized crime or political or religious fanatics.

One thing is important here: We too cannot ensure absolute security. But based on a well-thought-out safety concept, we can be by your side in particular hazardous situations, analyse your situation precisely and focus on specific situations, places and activities. We can also provide you with comprehensive advice on how to identify safety-hazardous situations and act correctly.

The aim of well-thought-out and efficient personal protection is abstract threats to record and, depending on the risk situation, to work trustingly and closely with the state security authorities. Because safety is sometimes a team effort to which you, as the person you need to protect, can also contribute. Absolute trust is therefore one of the most important requirements in the area of personal protection — even more, it is the basis.

Discover answers to frequently asked questions about our services — from individual planning to implementation.

From what size of event is a professional security concept required?

A formal security concept in accordance with Section 43 VStättVO is required by law for meeting places with more than 5,000 visitors — or if the type of event requires it. In practice, however, a professional safety assessment is recommended even for significantly smaller events. Factors such as venue, target group, public accessibility and risk potential are often more relevant than the mere number of visitors. Authorities can also demand a concept for smaller events if they see an increased risk.

What exactly does a security concept for events include?

A professional security concept is not a standard document, but event-specific planning. It defines responsibilities and decision-making processes, contains a risk analysis with an assessment of the specific risk scenarios and, based on this, defines structural, technical and organizational measures — from access controls and flow of people to communication structures and evacuation plans. It is crucial that the concept does not stay in a drawer, but is implemented operationally and known to all parties involved.

How early should I involve a security service provider in event planning?

As soon as possible. Security is not a module that you add retrospectively to event planning — it must be considered from the start. Early involvement also makes sense, especially for events that require approval, because official coordination requires time. As a guide: For major events, authorities recommend a lead time of at least three months. For complex formats or international events, correspondingly more.

What distinguishes professional event security from a pure security service?

A security service fulfils an important but clearly limited function — such as admission checks or seat assignments. Professional event security goes much further. It starts with a risk analysis, includes the development of a safety concept, coordination with authorities and emergency services, operational management on site and the ability to react to unforeseen situations. It is not just about presence, but also about the ability to act. These structural conditions are then also reflected in communication and public image. The staff at the entrance is often the first thing your visitors and guests see and is therefore a figurehead for your event and company.

What qualifications should security personnel have at events?

It depends on the task. In principle, commercial security personnel in Germany must have the minimum qualification of 40 hours Evidence from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce or the expert examination in accordance with § 34AgEwO. Additional training such as evacuation workers, fire protection assistants and first aid is particularly helpful here. In addition, we train our staff in de-escalation training in conflict management and tactical emergency medicine.

Can event security also be organized at short notice?

Basically yes – but with restrictions. The quality of a safety operation is directly related to the preparation time. Professional structures can be set up for standardized formats within a few days. More advance notice is required for more complex events involving regulatory coordination, specific risk situations or an international context. Through our KIT (Crisis Intervention Team), we are able to provide operational teams across Europe, even under time pressure — within 24 hours.

What role does cooperation with authorities play in event security?

A central one. Police, fire departments and regulatory authorities are not opponents of the organizer, but necessary partners for safe implementation. A good security concept is developed in agreement with the competent authorities — not against them. This requires experience in dealing with regulatory requirements and the ability to communicate professionally on equal footing. For the organizer, this usually means less friction in the approval process and more planning security.

What exactly is KIT (Crisis Intervention Team)?

A constantly available deployment of experienced security personnel who are trained for acute and short-term deployments. The team is available around the clock and operational across Europe within 24 hours — for personal protection, property security, crisis support and evacuations.

Do you also work with authorities?

Yes. In acute situations, we coordinate our measures closely with police and emergency services. We know the regulatory structures, respect responsibilities and ensure that our assignments are legally correct and cooperative.

How do I contact the team in an emergency?

About our Emergency hotline (+49 (0) 5141593 4420), which is staffed around the clock. Alternatively by email for general inquiries. After receiving your call, we will immediately initiate the situation briefing and, if necessary, activate the KIT (Crisis Intervention Team).

From what size of company is professional property protection worthwhile?

Professional property protection is not tied to a specific company size. The vulnerability of the location, the value of the assets, regulatory requirements and the specific threat situation are decisive. Even medium-sized companies benefit from structured access control and night-time security.

Which technical systems are used?

We advise on the integration and use of existing security technology — from video surveillance and electronic access systems to alarm systems and intercom systems. Our service lies in personnel monitoring and the intelligent combination of technology and operational security. Technical advice is provided independently of the manufacturer.

Can existing security structures be integrated?

Of course. We analyse existing security measures and integrate them into our concept. Whether it's existing security personnel, installed technology or existing deployment plans — we build on what works and make targeted additions where there are gaps.

How is the quality of security ensured?

Quality assurance is an integral part of our work. Regular audits, unannounced inspection visits, structured deployment evaluations and performance evaluations ensure that the agreed level of protection is maintained permanently. All processes meet DEKRA's requirements.

How does Cesiun GmbH ensure freedom of movement and discretion?

In his memoirs “A Promised Land,” former US President Barak Obama impressively describes the tension between freedom of movement and the need for protection that has arisen in contact with his bodyguards. Even as a candidate in the election campaign, Obama was supported by a team from Secret Service instructed because the threats against him had reached an unprecedented level.

Even though the team of his protection team does everything they can to act in the background and discreetly, Obama describes how he compulsively limited his range of motion and made his bodyguards sweat with spontaneous breaks out of his tight safety corset. “I knew that unpredictability made their job more difficult for my bodyguards and increased the agents' risk,” writes the ex-president. He thus comprehensibly describes the tension in which bodyguards must act: to combine maximum individual safety with maximum freedom of movement and discretion. In Barak Obama's case, his family was also affected. The Obama couple were careful that their daughters could freely accept invitations from school friends and their everyday school life without the bodyguards being too visible.

How can this area of tension be resolved? At Cesiun, we rely on open discussion, on a balance between the amount of freedom that is justifiable and the necessary restraint, which appears appropriate. In our opinion, this also includes behaving empathetically towards the person responsible, who may feel restricted and observed, and to ensure moments of freedom. This sometimes requires some preparation and attention, but above all empathetic reflections on one's own role as a bodyguard with regard to the situation of the person protecting the person concerned. It is therefore all the more important to us to have a trusting and good relationship with people who need protection, because we sometimes participate closely in their everyday lives. Social competence and sensitivity are important.


Absolute reliability, secrecy and discretion are therefore the most important tasks for a professional bodyguard, whom we diligently carry out in our day-to-day work descendants.

Are women also used as bodyguards?

Yes The demand for female bodyguards has risen significantly in recent years — and for good reasons. In the family environment and in discreet protective tasks, women stand out less and create a different relationship of trust. Female bodyguards are essential, particularly for families with appropriate cultural backgrounds, where male accompanying persons are out of the question for female family members. In addition, they have special skills in de-escalation and bring a high level of empathy and understanding of the situation

How is the safety and risk situation analysed?

How specific is the threat situation? Are there already signs of an imminent attack? Is the hazard more diffuse and less tangible? In which situations are there a major security issue? Do certain routes or events have to be secured? All of these questions must be carefully examined during a detailed analysis of the safety and risk situation, individually based on each individual case. How likely is a potential source of damage? As part of a safety and hazard analysis, it is in fact a detailed risk assessment and the determination of targeted protective measures. This is the basis for a protection concept whose key points must be strictly adhered to in order to be able to guarantee the highest level of safety and an individual sense of protection.

As part of the safety analysis, various scenarios are thought through and rehearsed. Situations are also played out that are considered unlikely but cannot be ruled out. Violence is limitless — that is why potential threats, no matter how unlikely and considered insane, should be addressed and considered in order to tailor the security concept to all contingencies. Our protection personnel benefit from our many years of experience in the area of personal protection and Security, Property and event protection benefit. It is important to correctly assess the individual situation and to openly explain all possible critical risk situations. It is essential to include people from the environment of the persons to be protected in order to be able to take into account as diverse perspectives and horizons of experience as possible in the protection concept. People's own perception of the security situation sometimes differs from the perception of people in their immediate personal and professional environment. Habits and unconscious carelessness should be disclosed and considered. Even if it is necessary to improvise in certain situations, certain principles should serve as a firm basis in a safety concept. The concept must be as complete as possible and must not have any black spots in which a gateway remains open for attacks or attacks. Ultimately, this is also about acceptance. Because the best security concept is absolutely no good if the protection person cannot submit to it. Trust also plays the most important role in this context. Ideally, the safety concept is a joint definition of bodyguard and the Protectors, which depicts the realities and dangerous situation and concrete guidelines for conduct pretends.
