On Site Security

Our on-site security services refer to the measures and practices implemented to protect physical spaces, properties, and assets from unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, or other security threats. This type of security is primarily focused on safeguarding a specific location, such as a building, facility, or campus.

Services We Offer

Physical Security Measures

The specific measures adopted can depend on the nature of your needs, the type of facility, and the perceived security risks. Our services are tailored specifically to what you need and we’ll make sure to assess the entire situation before providing a strategic plan.

Surveillance Systems

On-site security often involves the use of surveillance cameras and monitoring systems to keep a watchful eye on the premises. Video footage can be used for real-time monitoring and investigations. Defender One can help you with installation providers as well as operating the equipment and surveilling footage, as needed.

Perimeter Security

Protecting the perimeter of a facility is essential. This may involve physical barriers, adding additional lighting, and supplying manpower for surveillance to deter and detect potential intruders.

Security Personnel

On-site security requires our trained guards to monitor and respond to security threats. Our team is available to conduct routine patrols, check identification at the entrances to buildings and floors, and provide a visible deterrent.

Intrusion Detection Systems

These systems are designed to detect and alert authorities to unauthorized entry or suspicious activities. This could include motion sensors, alarms, and other detection technologies.

Emergency Response

Our team designs emergency response plans and can also train your team on how to respond to emergencies, such as fires, natural disasters, security incidents, terrorist activity, and more. This is a crucial aspect of on-site security.

Never Off Guard

As a family owned business, we are personally invested in your safety and will provide a holistic approach to your security needs. It’s a priority for us to be a community business, not simply a business in the community.

Our mantra is simply: 

We provide custom solutions to custom clients.

In our business, every client has a unique challenge. And while an approach to security can be rooted in standardized foundational practices, each client needs and deserves a custom approach specifically for their needs. 

Every day your to-do list grows longer, but monitoring your security personnel shouldn’t be on that list; that’s OUR JOB. We believe you should see the value in every penny you spend on protecting your people and your assets. 

Secure Your Peace of Mind

Whether you require round-the-clock surveillance, event security, or specialized services, we are here to offer tailored solutions that ensure your safety and peace of mind. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Fill out the form below or call us to schedule a consultation. Take the first step towards a safer, more secure environment.
