Specialist Security for Film, TV and Live Productions
On set, behind the scenes and at live events, the security challenges of the media industry are unique. From controlling access at a high-profile red carpet events to keeping equipment safe during a remote location shoot, you need a team who understands the pace, pressures, and etiquette of production.
Capricorn Media Protection is our dedicated division for the film, television, broadcast, and live entertainment sectors. With over 25 years’ specialist experience, we’re trusted by the UK’s biggest production companies to protect people, assets, and reputations…without disrupting the creative process.
We know that great security isn’t about standing in the way, it’s about helping production flow smoothly. That’s why we work discreetly in the background while keeping a constant watch on people, assets, and access points. Our managers can attend production meetings, tech recces, risk planning sessions and paparazzi or protest mitigation planning, giving you early-stage input to de-risk your shoot from day one.
