At Acies International, we focus on non-invasive yet highly effective protective strategies that comply with all UAE laws.
Yes, but only through a locally licensed security provider registered with Dubai’s Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA). Independent or foreign bodyguards cannot legally operate without the proper partnership or clearance. If you're an international client, it’s crucial to work with a company that understands both local laws and international protection standards.
It depends on your profile and lifestyle. For example: Celebrities may require low-profile, media-savvy protection.

Families on vacation may benefit from a protective companion-style agent, particularly discreet and family-friendly. At Acies International, we match you with personnel experienced in luxury environments, familiar with venues like Dubai Marina, DIFC, and Palm Jumeirah.
