Static Guarding
Reliable, SIA-licensed static security officers delivering continuous on-site protection, controlled access, and strong deterrence for high-risk, high-value and operationally sensitive locations across the UK.
Professional Static Guarding for Sites That Require Constant Protection
Static guarding remains one of the most effective frontline security measures for businesses that need a permanent, dependable presence at a specific location. Unlike roaming patrols or technology-based monitoring alone, static guards maintain continuous visibility and control at a fixed post, ensuring no blind spots, no delays and no gaps in response.
Our Static Guarding Security service provides trained, uniformed, SIA-licensed guards who monitor entrances, secure restricted areas, manage visitors, protect assets, and support your on-site staff. Whether it’s a gatehouse, reception, control room, warehouse entrance or high-traffic access point, static guards create an immediate deterrent and enforce your safety protocols consistently throughout each shift.
Every deployment begins with an assessment of your access points, risk environment, operations and visitor flow. From there, we create a tailored static guarding plan that aligns with your day-to-day activity — ensuring guards support both your security goals and your operational efficiency.
How Our Guards Operate Onsite
Static guarding is not simply “standing at the door.” It requires awareness, observation, communication and structure. Our guards follow a defined operational process to ensure maximum coverage, accuracy and professionalism.
