According to a story in the UK Sun, the newly constructed mansion will be guarded by high-voltage electric gates that will also be completely staffed.
In addition, for the purpose of security, well-trained guards will be stationed on all of the property’s perimeters.

“The advantage of selecting Ludus as your location is that it is located quite a distance from the main road; as a result, anybody who attempted to access the villa would either be seen or would set off alarms and be stopped by security personnel.

“The safety of everyone involved in the competition, from the entrants to the staff, is our top priority, and it must come first. It’s a blessing that security firms know how to keep people extremely secure out here since it’s the only thing they know how to do.
Every member of the production team that enters or exits Ludus will be escorted by armed security personnel. They will also get security briefings that will instruct them on what risks to watch out for and what actions to take in the direst of circumstances.
