About
Armada

Armada is more than a classic private security company; it is a fully fledged technology‑driven player in the personal protection domain. We combine licensed private security infrastructure in Moscow and Saint Petersburg with a next‑generation digital service, enabling any individual, business, or VIP client to access personal protection when needed and in a convenient format.

Armada was among the first to develop its own “bodyguard by the hour” mobile application, which allows users to summon one or several bodyguards within minutes—with or without a vehicle, on an hourly or daily basis. The app effectively introduced an on‑demand model to the personal security market, providing protection exactly when required and for precisely as long as needed, directly from a smartphone and without protracted contract negotiations or procedural delays. At the same time, Armada Security remains a licensed private security company with its own trained personnel, ensuring legal compliance and a high level of accountability for service quality.

We go beyond current capabilities: the company is systematically driving the digital transformation of the security industry, piloting and implementing new technological solutions—from intelligent AI‑powered chatbots and automated client‑interaction workflows to building an ecosystem‑style aggregator platform that unites multiple protection services and scenarios in a single environment. These digital capabilities are developed under the Armada Ecosystem brand, in partnership with the Cyber Aura and BARS Global services.

In terms of the breadth of personal‑protection services, Armada Security holds one of the leading positions on the market. On one side, any individual can book a bodyguard by the hour—to get home safely, navigate a conflict situation without escalation, conduct an important meeting, or arrange an escort for a child; on the other, we design comprehensive security programs for companies, entrepreneurs, foreign delegations, and VIP clients, ranging from escort at negotiations and events to long‑term personal‑protection schemes and family security.

Armada Security makes personal protection technological, flexible, and human at the same time: you manage your safety through an intuitive digital service, while execution is handled by real professionals with hands‑on experience across a wide range of life and business scenarios.

Key Services

• Personal protection and bodyguard services for private clients (entrepreneurs, executives, public figures, VIPs, and their family members).

• On‑foot and/or vehicle escort, including provision of a dedicated car and driver‑bodyguard.

• Meet‑and‑greet and escort at airports and railway stations, transfers, and escort on trips within the city and beyond.​

• Protection of children, family members, visiting delegations, and corporate executives.

• VIP escort with heightened requirements for confidentiality, appearance, and protection level (including armed security and special equipment where required).

• Packaged personal‑security services (cards): in‑city escort, airport transfers, escort for children, designated driver, event security, and more..

Formats and Operating Modes

• Hourly personal protection: a bodyguard “from one hour”, available 24/7, including short‑notice deployments to handle specific issues (conflicts, one‑off events, trips).

• Round‑the‑clock protection (24 hours) for single days or extended periods, including shift‑based work by a dedicated security team.

• ВFlexible team configurations (a single bodyguard, a two‑person detail, or a larger team, with multiple vehicles if required).​

• Use of additional security assets: armoured vehicles, body armour, technical surveillance tools, and advance route planning with a focus on potential choke points.

Terms and Service Features

• The exact team composition (number of bodyguards, vehicles, level of armament and training) is defined after a detailed assessment of the client’s risks and requirements.

• The depth of security measures (including the use of armoured vehicles and special equipment) is scaled according to the threat level, the client’s status, and specific scenarios (residence, office, public events, international travel, etc.)

• Our bodyguards typically have experience in special forces and government protection units for high‑ranking officials and complete dedicated executive‑protection training programs.

• For VIP clients, we focus not only on security itself, but also on comfort and the image aspect of the protection team’s presence.

Pricing and Payment Terms

• We offer flexible terms, allowing you to access truly cost‑effective services.

• For short‑term engagements (from one hour), pricing is based on an hourly rate per bodyguard, with the final cost depending on the number of operatives, the guard’s dispatch location (city or suburbs), task complexity, the need for an armoured or regular vehicle, and other parameters. At the same time, we do not charge extra for equipment, weapons, or standard options (for example, you can choose bodyguards in a classic suit, tactical gear, or casual clothing for covert protection at no additional cost).

• When the assignment becomes more complex (higher risks, 24/7 coverage, multiple teams, travel to other regions, etc.), the total cost increases, but not proportionally. Instead of a pure hourly model, we can switch to alternative billing options: a fixed package price, or daily, weekly, or monthly rates. This allows you to receive not only high‑end personal protection, but also a fair price without overpaying, with the final fee always agreed individually.

• Package solutions (special plans, security cards) let you lock in the volume of services in advance (number of hours, type of escort) and save compared to one‑off orders. For example, security cards were first introduced by Armada as a way to receive services quickly and without needless formalities: funds were stored on a deposit card and deducted at the most favourable rate once protection was provided, which enabled Armada Security to react as fast and flexibly as needed, adjusting parameters on the fly. Today, these cards have evolved: a Gift Security Card lets you give the gift of protection to your loved ones, who can use the service within the deposit limit printed on the card, while a Club Security Card grants access to an exclusive elite‑security club with unique options tailored specifically to business and VIP clients.
