Physical Security
We recognise the challenges of providing a secure working environment—particularly when a client’s work sites are in remote locations. Our solutions are based on a comprehensive analysis of the security requirement and may integrate manned guarding, canine security and technological security elements. This analysis impacts the design and implementation of appropriate and bespoke security solutions. Such solutions are routinely reviewed to ensure continual improvement that is in line with an often rapidly changing security environment.
We provide security solutions to clients across the residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial and NGO/diplomatic sectors. Our layered security plans encompass fixed and roving posts, checkpoints, access control, mobile services and technical security systems. We analyse client vulnerabilities and follow up with recommendations ranging from installing security equipment and deploying security personnel to the development of information security programs.
Security Officers
GardaWorld security officers secure sites across Africa and are at the core of everything we do. We invest time in an intensive selection process, which includes in-depth background checks followed by extensive training in first aid, fire prevention, customer service and security-specific skills, all to ensure your facilities, assets, and people have the best security possible.
Our security guard services include:
Low-profile security guards, protecting assets while providing customer service
Military-style security guards, controlling entrances and exits, monitoring security systems and patrolling sites
High-profile security guards, maximizing the deterrent effect when reinforced security is needed
Risk mitigation through a proactive security presence and effective response
Mobile Response
Our qualified, trained and experienced mobile response teams have extensive local knowledge and enable our clients to move safely and securely in high-risk, uncertain, and hostile environments.
Our vehicles and crews are configured to meet client requirements within the context of the operating environment. Our fleet of B6 armoured and soft-skin vehicles is equipped with electronic countermeasures (ECM) and radio and satellite communications systems allowing our operations centres to track our clients’ movements in real time. We are able to deploy different security vehicles depending on the latest threat, intelligence picture and specific requirements of our clients, the task and the operating environment.
Our mobile response services include:
Escort services and convoy protection
Executive protection
Alarm response
Firefighting and rescue
Emergency medical response
Executive Services
Our executive protection teams provide security services for diplomats and commercial clients in high-risk and complex environments. Executive protection is a necessary security measure for individuals who may be exposed to elevated personal risk because of their employment, celebrity status, wealth, associations, geographical location, or any reason that would make them the target of a physical attack or kidnapping.
Our executive services include detailed planning and advance preparations by using the latest counter-surveillance methods and protective intelligence analysis and reporting in conjunction with physical security.
Our teams are customised to each client’s individual requirements with consideration given to the operating environment, the very latest threat state and the security profile.
Remote Site Security
We recognise the challenges of providing security changes from country to country, region to region and location to location. Our solutions are based on a comprehensive analysis of the security requirement and may integrate static, mobile and technological security elements. Our layered security plans are based on the analysis of client vulnerabilities and include recommendations on security equipment and security personnel and, in some cases, even information security programs.
Event Security
Events must be effectively supervised to ensure a smooth flow of activities while offering an enjoyable experience to participants, which is why preventing risks and managing crowds are at the core of event security.
Our approach is focused on customer service and upholding the highest professional standards. This means our highly trained, versatile, and adaptive event security professionals are able to face a variety of situations and behaviours. They abide by a client’s requirements as well as site and safety standards at all times.
Our event security guards can manage a variety of responsibilities during events:
Metal detectors and guest security checks
Remote monitoring and management of materials and equipment
Parking management
Emergency interventions and crowd management around sensitive areas
Usher services
Supervision of other employees and volunteers
Infrastructure Security
Our layered infrastructure security plans encompass fixed and roving posts, checkpoints, access control and technical security systems. We analyse client vulnerabilities and follow up with recommendations ranging from installing security equipment and deploying security personnel to the development of information security programs.
Our infrastructure security services include:
Perimeter protection measures such as electric fencing and walls
Barriers (turnstiles) to assist with access control and vehicle barriers
Gates
Safe room construction
Blast proofing and blast proof film installation for exposed windows
Traffic flow management
Loss Prevention
You probably know your own business better than anyone, but it might prevent you from seeing where the risks lie. Our experts are trained to ask the right questions and spot problem areas, whether they are internal or external.
When it comes to your store, construction site, plant, warehouse or distribution centre, protecting your inventory from loss is essential. Our loss prevention professionals help reduce your costs, prevent loss or internal fraud, and improve inventory management.
