The discipline of close protection, applied to the digital perimeter.
Aster Privacy is a boutique protective-intelligence firm based in Singapore. We map the threats around a principal across domains they can't easily see — and translate what we find into practical protection for the principal, their family, and their reputation.
The threats that reach a principal are the ones nobody saw coming. In close protection, you learn to read the environment before it reads you — to notice what is out of place, to anticipate what has not yet happened, and to reduce risk without ever drawing attention to the fact that risk was there.
That same discipline — anticipate the threat, reduce it quietly — is what Aster Privacy brings to the digital domains where risk now originates. We do not sell tools. We do not chase volume. We work with a small number of principals, family offices, and senior executives, many with China-linked business or family interests, to map exposure they cannot easily see themselves.
Close Protection
The founder's background is in close protection — the executive protection of principals, public figures, and their families, over years of operational work at close quarters. The discipline is simple: anticipate the threat, then reduce it quietly.
Where Threats Now Originate
The threats reaching a principal are increasingly the ones nobody saw coming — originating in digital domains the principal and their team cannot easily see.
Protective Intelligence
Aster Privacy sits where the physical and digital worlds meet. We bring the same anticipatory discipline to the open web, the dark web, and the Chinese-language platforms Western tools don't reach.
Real-World Consequence
When a digital finding carries real-world consequence, we advise on the physical-security implications — coordinating with existing security arrangements, never replacing them.
"We reference only the category of experience — never a client, never a principal, never a matter. Discretion is not a feature of our work. It is the premise of it."
