The Special Security Group (SSG) of CISF is mandated to provide security cover to specific protectees based on threat assessment. Its core duties include providing physical protection (A), mobile and static security cover (C), and emergency evacuation (B) for the nominated individuals. Providing protection to the relatives and guests *generally* is not a part of the SSG’s standard duty profile, as their mandate is focused on the security of the principal protectee. Protection for family members or guests, if required, would typically involve separate threat assessments and security arrangements, potentially by other agencies or specific directives.

SSG’s duty is focused on the principal protectee. Protecting relatives and guests is not a standard part of this specific unit’s mandate.

Protection units like SSG operate under strict protocols based on threat levels and specific instructions. Their resources and training are directed towards ensuring the safety of the individual(s) they are assigned to protect. While they might react to threats affecting anyone accompanying the protectee, providing routine security cover for relatives and guests falls outside their primary role unless explicitly included in the protection detail.
