Every threat has a professional

XGuard, founded in 2024, is a multi-vertical professional protection marketplace operating across the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand. The platform connects clients with 964 verified independent contractors across 20+ service verticals — from licensed bodyguards and event security to criminal-defense attorneys, CPAs, cybersecurity consultants, and private investigators. Each professional's license is checked against the issuing authority before listing, and identity verification is part of onboarding — XGuard checks credentials across 168 regulators in 40+ countries. Payments are escrow-protected through Stripe and only released on job completion. The app is free. XGuard adds a transparent 3% service processing fee with no surge pricing.
