Our story

Protecting Your World, Since 1998

A rich history of close protection โ€” and an unwavering standard of professionalism, discretion, and trust.

IBO Bodyguard Company began in 1998, when close-protection specialists formed the core of our organization. Since then, we have protected clients around the world.

In 2012, under Dr. Dmitri Androvich, IBO became the first private company to issue internationally verifiable Bodyguard Codes, giving VIP clients confidence that every member is trained and accountable.

In 2022, IBO decentralized and focused its operations on the Middle East, combining trusted local private companies with our online platform to improve service and client support.

We are committed to professionalism, attention to detail, and client safety. Our experienced operators provide the protection and peace of mind our clients deserve.
