Incident Report
| Attribute | Information |
|---|---|
| Target Organization | Suhai Segurana Pessoal |
| Threat Group | thegentlemen |
| Summary | suhaiseguranca.com.br Suhai Segurança Pessoal Brazilian personal security company founded in 1992 — one of the older, established firms in its niche. Core business: bodyguard/executive protection, family and residential security, security drivers, and corporate guarding, delivered nationwide. Teams are described as vetted, licensed professionals backed by 24/7 monitoring and in-house tactical training. The firm claims ISO 9001 and Great Place to Work certification, but doesn’t publish certificates — claims are self-reported. No revenue, pricing, or verified headcount is public; everything is custom-quoted per job. Critically: since Brazil’s 2024 law, security work is only legal if the firm holds a current federal police permit for that specific service and state — confirm yours before hiring. Also beware the unrelated “Suhai” auto insurer sharing the name — most complaints you’ll find online are about insurance, not this company. |
