TXIA works with Shield CR, a licensed Costa Rican security company, to provide executive protection, secure transport, and security services for U.S. clients throughout Costa Rica. You contract with us. They deliver on the ground.
Running a security operation in Costa Rica without a local license is illegal and exposes clients to real liability. We structured our Costa Rica operation the right way from the start. TXIA partners with Shield CR, a fully licensed Costa Rican security company, to handle all in-country operations.
You sign with us and pay us. Shield CR puts the personnel on the ground. That means you have a U.S. contract, U.S. billing, and a licensed local operation executing the work. No gray areas, no liability gaps.
A lot of U.S. companies offer security in Costa Rica without proper local licensing. That is their problem and it becomes yours the moment something goes wrong. We took a different approach.
Whether you are traveling for business, managing a property remotely, or running a corporate delegation through San Jose, we can put the right people in place.
Close protection for executives, VIPs, and high-profile travelers in Costa Rica. Personnel are bilingual, trained, and vetted. We plan the security around your schedule, not the other way around.
Ground transportation and escort throughout Costa Rica for executives, valuables, and sensitive cargo. Armed services are available where Costa Rican law permits, confirmed per engagement.
Around the clock security for homes, vacation properties, and business facilities. A practical option for U.S. owners who are not in-country and need someone reliable watching their property.
Security for hotels, resorts, and businesses with American guests and international clientele. We work well with hospitality operations that need security handled without disrupting the guest experience.
Security assessments and practical advice for U.S. companies and individuals setting up or expanding in Costa Rica. Useful before you commit resources to a location or operation you have not fully evaluated.
Surveillance operations and security patrols for commercial and residential clients across Costa Rica. Straightforward and reliable coverage without the overhead of a full-time security contract.
Shield CR operates nationwide. San Jose to the Nicoya Peninsula, the Pacific coast to the Caribbean side. If you need coverage somewhere not listed, ask us.
Security without a Costa Rican license is an illegal operation. A lot of companies offer it anyway. Here is what that actually means for a client.
Shield CR holds a valid Costa Rican security license. Everything we deliver through them is authorized under local law. That is not a small thing.
Licensed operators have a legitimate relationship with Costa Rican law enforcement. When something happens and you need a fast response, that relationship matters. Unlicensed operators do not have it.
A licensed operation carries the insurance it is required to carry. For corporate clients with vendor compliance requirements, this is not optional. Unlicensed providers cannot offer it.
Costa Rican licensing requires background-checked, trained personnel and ongoing regulatory compliance. You know who is working your detail and that they have been properly screened.
If your security provider is operating without a license, the legal consequences do not stop with them. Contracting an unlicensed operation can expose your company as well. We closed that gap.
You contract with TXIA under U.S. law. Shield CR delivers under Costa Rican law. If something needs to be resolved, there is a clear chain and two licensed entities answering for the work.

TXIA handles U.S. contracting and billing. Shield CR handles licensed security operations in Costa Rica.
