The Bay Area is home to some of the most valuable companies and most recognisable founders in the world. That profile brings risk: public criticism, targeted protests, fixated individuals and the simple exposure of being one of the best-known names in tech. Protection here is less about red carpets and more about keeping leaders and their families safe as they work, travel and live in the public eye.
We provide executive, VIP and family protection in San Francisco, Silicon Valley and across Northern California.
Our executive protection details cover founders, CEOs, investors and board members at the office, on campus, at investor meetings and on the road. Every detail starts with a threat assessment of the person’s public profile and schedule, then routes, venues and arrival points are planned before they get there.
San Francisco hosts some of the biggest technology conferences in the world. Keynotes, product launches and shareholder meetings put executives on a stage in front of thousands of people, sometimes alongside protests outside. We plan the arrival, the time backstage and the exit, and work alongside venue and corporate security. See our event security service.
For leaders living in Atherton, Palo Alto, Woodside, Hillsborough, Pacific Heights or Marin County, we provide residential and family protection that keeps the home private and the family’s routine normal, including protection for spouses and children.
We support journalists, news crews and production teams covering protests and tense events across the Bay Area through our media and journalist security service.
Low profile by design. Tech leaders rarely want to look protected. Our agents work quietly and fit into corporate and family settings.
Experience with high-profile clients. Our team has protected A-list talent, royal families and senior executives, and has worked with brands including Netflix, Samsung, Supreme and the NFL.
Veteran-led. Elite Security Pro was founded by Steve Schleinitz, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of the Desert Storm era with 24 years in the security industry, and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
Discreet by default. We never discuss who we protect.
