International Bodyguard Association – Code of Ethics
We, the members of the International Bodyguard Association (IBA), fully aware of our sacred duty to protect life, honor, and security, pledge to uphold the following principles at all times and under all circumstances:
1️⃣ Integrity & Honor A true bodyguard speaks the truth, stands firm in darkness, and never sacrifices honor for material gain. Integrity is the foundation of trust between us and those we protect.
2️⃣ Respect & Discipline Respect for superiors, colleagues, clients—even adversaries—is not a sign of weakness but the essence of strength. Discipline is our unwritten law; without it, no team can survive.
3️⃣ Professionalism We act not through emotion, but through principle. Our conduct, appearance, and communication must always reflect professionalism and organizational pride.
4️⃣ Loyalty & Confidentiality What we see and hear in the line of duty remains there. We stay loyal to our organization and mission, even when no one is watching.
5️⃣ Self-Control & Strength in Silence We prove ourselves not by loud words but through calm precision and professional action. Petty arguments and childish disputes have no place in the character of a true bodyguard.
6️⃣ Readiness & Training Physical, mental, and psychological readiness is the key to survival. We train every day so that in the moment of danger, we are the best version of ourselves.
7️⃣ Service & Responsibility Being a bodyguard is not a job — it is a commitment. We are entrusted with lives, and we carry that responsibility with honor and humility.
🛡️ Final Commitment We pledge to represent the values and reputation of the IBA with dignity and pride. We lead not by words, but by example. We stand in silence, act with calm, and live with honor.
