Trusted where
discretion matters most.
From executive offices and international travel to backstage corridors, private residences, major sporting events, and high profile public appearances, Athena Universal Protection Services operates wherever the principal requires protection without disruption.
Some names can be shared. Most never will be. The standard remains the same.
Protection that becomes part of the operation.
AUPS provides retained security and personal protection for organizational leadership whose responsibilities extend beyond a single appearance or event. Current and long term assignments have included daily on site security, personal protection for a chief executive, advance work, vehicle movement, headquarters presence, and domestic and international travel alongside senior leadership.
This level of protection is not simply scheduled. It becomes integrated into the client's movement, calendar, environment, and decision making. The objective is continuity: one standard of protection from the office to the vehicle, from the airport to the destination, and back again.
The name may remain private. The level of responsibility does not.

Accra
Republic of Ghana
Requested by name
Requested by name. Across an ocean.
When Ambassador Dr. Erieka Bennett required protection in Accra, Ghana, the request was not for a general security provider. It was for TaJuana Cabell. She was requested by name, boarded a flight, and carried the same standard of vigilance internationally that has defined her work at home.
Geography changes. The responsibility does not. AUPS approaches international details with the same advance thinking, situational awareness, discretion, and principal centered protection required in every environment.
Protection without becoming part of the show.
Entertainers and public figures require a different kind of awareness. The principal may be moving through crowds, backstage corridors, meet and greets, press environments, private events, arrivals, departures, and spaces where public access can change in seconds.
AUPS has provided protection within entertainment and public appearance environments where the job is to remain close enough to respond immediately while discreet enough that the protection never becomes the story.
The work has included engagements associated with the Braxton Family, Traci Braxton, Chelsea Handler, Maya, the 85 South Show, and other entertainers and public figures whose privacy remains protected.
The talent faces the audience. We watch everything around them.
Rooms most people never get into.
Some protective assignments happen in environments where access itself is controlled: credentialed sporting events, restricted corridors, private hospitality spaces, backstage areas, green rooms, locker room environments, and venues operating under layered public and private security.
TaJuana Cabell's experience includes multiple Super Bowl assignments between 2015 and 2023 as well as client escort and protection at the Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter Golf Invitational. These assignments require more than physical presence. They require coordination, credentials, protocol, movement planning, and the judgment to operate effectively inside an existing security command.

Inside the rope line
Access without a byline.
Leadership when the room holds thousands.
Executive protection is one part of TaJuana Cabell's security record. Her experience also includes responsibility for entire environments. From 2017 to 2024, she served as Director of Security at The Anthem in Washington, D.C., and she serves as Head of Security at 12 Stories.
Those roles require command beyond the individual principal: high capacity public traffic, talent movement, staff coordination, access control, incident response, crowd behavior, and executive guests moving through the same environment simultaneously.
That operational perspective strengthens every AUPS detail. Protecting one person becomes more effective when you understand the entire environment around them.
The strongest client list in executive protection is often the one that is never published.
AUPS does not measure credibility by how many recognizable names can be placed on a website. In this business, discretion is part of the deliverable. Some relationships can be acknowledged. Others remain exactly where they belong: between the principal and the protection team.
Clients come through referral because trust travels privately.
When the assignment matters, start with a confidential conversation.
Executive protection, high profile appearances, private travel, retained protection, event security, and executive transportation are discussed directly and discreetly.
