An app to book verified professional bodyguards and personal-security services on demand — KYC-vetted agents, quick booking and secure Stripe payments. Available on iOS.
Trusted by founders, scale-ups & enterprise teams
AntecaHow do you prove trust in a service that depends on it?
Guardius books personal-security professionals on demand, so verification and payment are not administrative details: every agent passes KYC and background checks, and payment is held via Stripe and released after the service. The booking itself is explicit about date, location and duration.
When trust is the thing being sold, define how it will be proven before scoping the features around it.
Product Discovery & Solution BlueprintBooking trustworthy personal security usually means phone calls, opaque pricing and no way to verify who actually shows up. Guardius set out to make booking a vetted security professional as simple — and as trustworthy — as booking a ride.
- Verify every agent (KYC and background checks)
- Let clients book on demand, choosing date, location and duration
- Handle payment securely, with protection for both sides
- Deliver it as a native mobile app
We built a mobile marketplace that connects clients with vetted personal-security professionals on demand.
KYC-vetted agents. Every agent passes KYC and background checks before they can take work, so the person who shows up is verified — the core of trust in this category.
Book in minutes. Clients book a bodyguard on demand, choosing date, location and duration, instead of negotiating over the phone.
Secure, escrow-style payments. Payments are held securely via Stripe and released after the service, protecting both client and agent.
Native mobile. The product is delivered as a native iOS app for a fast, trustworthy booking experience.
Stack: a native iOS app, KYC verification, marketplace logic and Stripe payments.
Clients book KYC-vetted security professionals on demand, with transparent scheduling and secure Stripe payments released only after the service is completed.
It turns an opaque, phone-based, trust-by-hope process into a transparent marketplace: agents are verified, the booking is explicit about date, location and duration, and the payment model protects both sides — the difference between hoping the right person shows up and knowing they will.
