Our commitments
These principles define what Castro Defense does and, above all, what it does not do:
- Honesty about outcomes. We never guarantee the outcome of a legal case or the conclusion of an expert report. We explain what depends on us and what depends on the authority.
- Lawfulness. We do not sell, store or transport firearms or ammunition. Counter-drone equipment is offered only to clients with the legal authorization to operate it.
- Confidentiality. We never name clients, cases or authorities without written permission.
- Case-by-case quotes. We do not publish prices for counter-drone systems: each project is assessed on its own conditions and legal framework.
