Frequently Asked Questions

CPO LEADS is built exclusively for close protection operatives, security consultants, maritime security officers, PSD team leaders, and other professionals in the global security and defense industry. Whether you are ex-military, law enforcement, or a seasoned private contractor, the platform connects you with verified employers and high-value contracts worldwide.
Every employer on CPO LEADS undergoes a rigorous vetting process. We verify company registration, operational history, insurance status, and client references. Only employers meeting our strict standards gain access to the operator pool. This protects you from fraudulent postings and ensures every contract is legitimate.
CPO LEADS uses SSL encryption for all data in transit and your account is protected with secure authentication via Supabase. Payments are processed through Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. We never store your payment details — Stripe handles all card data securely.
Day rates vary significantly depending on the theater, risk level, required experience, and specialization. High-risk deployments in conflict zones command premium rates, while executive protection in lower-risk environments will differ accordingly. Each listing includes compensation details so you can filter opportunities that match your expectations.
Yes. CPO LEADS operates on a no-lock-in policy. You can cancel your subscription at any time with immediate effect. Your data remains encrypted and can be exported or permanently deleted upon request.
Our intelligence system aggregates data from multiple OSINT sources, verified field reports, and government advisories. Daily briefings are automatically generated and tailored to your active regions and deployment history. Priority alerts are pushed in real-time for threat level changes, emerging situations, or time-sensitive contract opportunities in your area of operations.

Built From Frustration

CPO Leads was born out of a simple problem — searching 15 different sites, forums, and LinkedIn groups just to find one decent contract. Scrolling through irrelevant listings. Missing opportunities because you didn't check the right page at the right time. We've all been there.

This platform is what we wish existed from day one. One place. Real jobs. Vetted employers. No noise.

"In this industry, we look out for each other. The guy next to you on a detail today might be the one who calls you for a six-figure contract tomorrow. CPO Leads is built on that same principle — operators helping operators."

— CPO Leads Founding Team

We don't gatekeep opportunities. We don't charge employers to post. We simply gather every legitimate close protection contract we can find and put it in front of the people who deserve to see it — the operators.
