On-site guard services for real-time protection
On-site guarding provides immediate human prevention, control and response. Combined with connected security systems, it helps avoid major incidents, losses and operational disruption — supporting more sustainable site operations.
Overview
Stronger guarding when connected with the rest of your security
On-site officers become significantly more effective when paired with cameras, alarms, mobile patrols and access control. Together, these systems create a multi-layered defence that strengthens visibility, accelerates response and protects every area of your facility.
Our officers operate as an extension of your organisation. They combine security expertise with operational awareness, follow procedures aligned with your environment and receive real-time support from our Swiss Security Operations Centres.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about on-site guarding services
On-site officers become more effective when they are supported by monitoring, mobile coverage and connected technologies. These answers direct you to complementary services that strengthen daily guarding operations.
-
Remote video surveillance extends visibility beyond an officer’s immediate location. SOC operators can review camera feeds, identify suspicious activity and guide guards towards the correct area with more accurate information.
-
Mobile patrols can inspect entrances, perimeters and sensitive areas during nights, weekends or other periods when permanent officers are not present. This extends physical coverage without requiring continuous guarding.
-
Access control systems help manage permissions and record every entry event. Guards gain clearer information about who is authorised, while unusual or denied access attempts can be investigated immediately.
-
A certified alarm receiving centre verifies alerts using available video, audio and sensor information. On-site officers then receive clearer situational details, helping them respond more safely and effectively.
-
A security vulnerability assessment identifies critical areas, operational weaknesses and priority risks. The findings can be used to define guard posts, patrol routes, escalation procedures and responsibilities aligned with your environment.
