WE PROTECT PEOPLE SINCE 1989
The International Association of Personal Protection Agents (IAPPA)
was established in the United States in 1989 with a primary objective of fostering global
connectivity among personal protection agents operating in various regions. Within
this framework, members could facilitate the exchange of ideas, engage in
collaborative training initiatives, enhance their educational pursuits, and collectively
formulate standardized global protocols for personal protection.
As of today, spanning over three decades since its inception, IAPPA boasts a
diverse and extensive membership, encompassing more than 700 individuals hailing
from over 30 countries across the globe. This distinguished group includes
close protection agents, corporate security professionals, military units, royal bodyguards,
law enforcement agencies, specialized military forces, security academies,
and international security consultants.
We are proud of what we have achieved together as a community. But we also never tire
of doing our best every day to ensure that people all over the world are protected
professionally and competently.
We stand up for our values - courage, loyalty, respect and honor.

CONSULTING
We advise our clients on matters pertaining to the physical protection of people and property e.g. executive protection and other forms of security.
We provide information about technical security systems and assist our clients with the daily management of both large and small scale security projects. As an example event organizers can rely on our massive experience in the fields of event security management.
CERTIFICATION
The IAPPA Certification program is closing this gap for people who really know their jobs, have hands-on experience and want that to be valued as such.
Our certifications are not gifts that you buy online. Our examination board evaluates every application received and only certifies those that meet the high standard. An internationally recognized certificate from IAPPA distinguishes the holder as a true professional.
"Success is the result of hard work, perseverance and the tireless willingness to get back up when you fall."
