This guidance encourages security professionals to be vigilant and to ensure that they do robust due diligence on their clients.

The services security professionals offer may be attractive to state actors looking to undertake malign activity in the UK.

Security professionals may be at risk of committing an offence under the 2023 legislation if they work for clients without establishing who they are and whether they are linked to a foreign power.
