Она за ним, как за каменной стеной./Она живёт, как за каменной стеной. This is normally used when talking about a married woman who has a reliable and, most likely, wealthy husband.

With my cat I am absolutely safe and sound. No mice in the house at all. Благодаря кошке, я живу как за каменной стеной - в доме совсем нет мышей.

Safe and sound 👍🏼 SITTING PRETTY is good too, but it doesn’t imply safety, just that you’re lucky to have found a rich man.
