Protective support and local coordination in Costa Rica.
Osa Strategic’s mission is to support visiting clients and protective teams through direct involvement, advance preparation, and local coordination.
Visiting protective teams need local arrangements that reflect their operating requirements, standards, and local conditions on the ground.
Osa Strategic’s aim is to make that support easier to assess, brief, and integrate.
Veteran-led. Locally grounded.
Brett Perez is founder and principal of Osa Strategic, a U.S. Army veteran and a permanent resident of Costa Rica. He has lived in Costa Rica full-time since 2021 and is fluent in Spanish.
He holds current Costa Rican private security agent and firearm-carry credentials, is a graduate of Pacific West Academy’s Executive Security Specialist program, and holds qualifications in emergency vehicle operations, CPR, and first-aid.
Brett is the direct point of contact for discussing requirements, preparing local arrangements and coordinating with the visiting team.
Current stage
Osa Strategic is in early development, refining its service documentation and commercial arrangements. Formal incorporation, insurance, and further documentation remain outstanding.
Each proposed assignment is assessed individually, with responsibilities, resources and required arrangements confirmed before commitment.
Protective support. Practical preparation.
Our approach emphasizes discretion, clear communication, adaptability, professional standards, and attention to the client experience.
Our core service offering focuses on four areas:
Direct protective support
As a private security agent in Costa Rica, Brett can contribute driving, protective support, liaison and local coordination. His role is agreed for each assignment.
Personnel coordination
Identify and assemble prospective personnel through local relationships, with suitability, availability and roles confirmed before commitment.
Advance preparation
Research relevant local conditions, routes, access, venues, timing and available support to inform planning and local arrangements.
Provider coordination
Coordinate vehicle and relevant provider arrangements, including third-party armored-vehicle rentals, around the assignment’s requirements.
Local expertise. Clear coordination.
Local support begins with a clear understanding of the visiting team’s expectations, leadership, and required contribution.
Understand the assignment
Clarify objectives, itinerary, privacy needs, leadership and the division of responsibilities.
Prepare the arrangements
Review local conditions and options, identify resources and bring open questions into the planning discussion.
Confirm before commitment
Agree on personnel, vehicles, hours, costs and communications. Identify dependencies and alternatives before finalizing arrangements.
Coordinate the contribution
Work within the agreed responsibilities and visiting team’s direction, maintain clear points of contact and review changes as requirements develop.
Rooted in Costa Rica.
Our firsthand regional familiarity spans San José, Guanacaste, the Pacific coast, and the Southern Zone. We are focusing on providing services to clients in these regions.
Osa Strategic takes its name from the Osa Peninsula, where our founder first lived in Costa Rica. ‘The Osa’ is known for its rewarding yet challenging landscape, where off-grid living makes self-reliance and preparation essential to success and sustainability.
Brett’s experience in Alaska, Iraq, California, and Costa Rica informs his approach to preparation. Terrain, weather, wildlife, infrastructure, local conditions, and access can materially affect routes, timing, and the support an assignment requires.
Our firsthand familiarity provides local context for reviewing these considerations with visiting teams. Our approach emphasizes clear communication, discretion, and attentive service to support clients’ peace of mind.
