About FRYA
A different perspective on intelligence.
FRYA International is a women-led private intelligence and protective services firm with global reach.
We specialise in understanding the risks and complexities surrounding high-profile women, particularly where privacy, reputation, relationships, access and personal security intersect. Effective intelligence requires more than collecting information. It requires understanding people.
Why FRYA exists
Some of the most consequential risks are not visible.
Conventional protection services have historically placed considerable emphasis on visible threats, physical security and established response procedures. Those capabilities remain important.
But some of the most consequential risks develop through personal relationships, trust, influence, reputation and access. For high-profile women, these dynamics can be particularly complex.
FRYA was established to bring a more informed, discreet and female-centred perspective to intelligence and protection.
Our people
A senior team defined by experience and discretion.

Meet our teamOur foundation
Independent in judgement. Global in capability.
FRYA is an independent intelligence and protective services firm with global reach. Our teams work across investigations, protective intelligence and specialist protection, and we are a registered supplier to government and institutional clients.
The discretion of a boutique firm. The depth of a global operation. We work quietly, and wherever our clients need us.
Our pledge
A commitment to access, integrity and fair value.
Supporting women beyond our commercial practice
Serious threats such as coercive control, stalking, targeted harassment and intimidation do not only affect women with family offices or corporate security budgets. Many of the women targeted have no access to the kind of support we provide.
FRYA donates a percentage of its revenue to provide pro bono and subsidised protective intelligence, risk assessment and discreet advice to women facing credible, targeted threats who could not otherwise afford it.
Valuing the people who do the work
Exceptional intelligence work demands judgement, discretion and rigorous ethics. We pay our operators, researchers and specialists well, because the quality of their work is what our clients rely on.
Fair pay keeps our people focused entirely on the welfare of those they protect, and holds every assignment to the highest standard.
