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.

Honest answer: we verify the listing, not the company. Every job is checked automatically when it comes in and re-checked regularly: the apply link must be live, the post must not be expired, and known scam sites and paid aggregators are blocked. We do not audit company registration, insurance or client references. Treat every employer as you would any other and do your own due diligence before signing a contract.

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. Most employers in this industry do not publish pay. Right now roughly 15% of our listings state a salary or day rate; the rest you will only learn at interview. We show pay whenever the source does, and never invent numbers.

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.

Every morning we compile one briefing from OSINT sources, news reporting and government travel advisories, focused on the regions where operators actually work. It is the same briefing for every member; it is not personalised to your profile or deployment history. Push alerts go out when something significant happens. Use it as a starting point, not a substitute for your own advance work.
