On-site security officers for total peace of mind
Whether it’s a construction site or a commercial premises, busy businesses are vulnerable to risks day and night, from theft to unauthorised access.
A strong on-site presence is one of the most effective ways to deter trouble and act quickly if it occurs.
Our licensed security guards provide professional, visible and proactive services, protecting your site, assets and people around the clock.
What are manned security personnel?
Manned security involves placing certified security guards at business premises to patrol the grounds to prevent and control security threats. It’s a highly effective deterrent of criminal activity and the most proactive safeguarding measure a business can take.
What do manned security do?
Security officers guard your property, assets and people from theft, physical damage and assault or injury. Guiding people to a safe location or preventing trespassers from entering the premises.

What are the benefits of manned guarding services?
Many industries benefit from physical business security, including:
Industrial
From warehouses to vacant properties, these locations can be easy targets for theft and vandalism, especially when unoccupied during evenings and weekends. With a physical presence at your site, potential intruders will be discouraged from targeting these locations.
Retail
Shops are always susceptible to intruders, particularly those with little security. Manned security guards act as a deterrent to criminals, making them aware that they will be identified and apprehended during their intrusion.
Financial services
Institutions in financial services require robust safeguarding strategies to protect their premises due to the high chance of hostile crime, such as armed robbery. Manned guards identify suspicious behaviour and alert authorities quickly.
Manned security benefits most businesses, particularly construction, education and healthcare. If you would like to discuss how we can help keep your premises safe, get in touch with us today.
Why use security personnel on your business premises?
Security guards provide a strong visual presence at any entry point to your business, making staff and customers feel that much safer and happier during their visit. They are also well equipped to diffuse potential aggression, respond to challenging behaviour, and remove unauthorised visitors from your site.
Depending on your requirements, we offer our services during or outside of operating hours as well as 24/7 if you need it.
Business security – FAQs
Manned security services can be used to complement your existing business CCTV and alarm systems.
Where commercial CCTV can be used internally at your business premises and be effective at low-risk locations, security guards can be used to protect your business exterior and be the first line of defence against any potential intruders. Instead of waiting for first responders to arrive at your premises after a break-in, why not stop the intrusion before it can happen with security personnel?
At SmartWatch, you can hire our security services for as little or as long as you need. Whether you need us to guard a temporary business location or your company headquarters, our guard team are here to meet your security needs.
This depends on the size of your premises and the level of security required. If you had a large location, we’d recommend more than one guard present at a time to ensure any disturbance can be responded to in the shortest time possible.
When it comes to manned guarding services, there is no one-size-fits-all cost. Your manned security package will be created bespoke to your organisation and differ from other organisations based on the nature of your company, as well as other factors like the level of security risk, a site survey and budgets.
Whilst costs are important to consider, reliable security on your business premises is an investment. Investing in manned guarding services with effective strategies provides the ultimate peace of mind that your property is protected at all times.
