Not every transfer requires an armoured unit, but when the risk analysis suggests it, the right certification makes all the difference. In Colombia, NIII-A/NIII-B levels are the most common for urban executive protection. The decision is not based on perception but on a risk matrix: profile, time and frequency of the journey, routes, incident history and the protected person’s media exposure.

“Armouring by inertia can expose you; armouring after analysis protects and optimises costs.”DSG Security Coordination

Certifications and maintenance: what to demand

Request certification paperwork and maintenance protocols. Review weight, braking, suspension and tyres. The cabin must preserve comfort and discretion — being too obvious can increase attention on the passenger. We integrate vehicle selection with escorts, embark/disembark points and alternate routes.

When should you and when shouldn’t you?

Yes: routes with exposure, night-time schedules, high-profile events, media arrivals. No: low-exposure internal transfers where a conventional low profile reduces risk. We evaluate each case and document the decision for your compliance. Diplomatic Solutions Group is your strategic partner in Colombia to ensure every diplomatic mission unfolds with impeccable protocol, security and distinction.
