The basics
What is office building security?
Office building security means placing trained, SIA-licensed officers in your building to control who comes in, protect staff and visitors, and look after the property and its contents. Cameras and access cards help, but an officer can check who someone is, deal with a problem and support people in an emergency.
Officers greet visitors, issue passes, patrol the building and lock up at the end of the day. Many clients use us as their facility security services partner, with reception officers in the day and building patrol officers out of hours. Our guide to what a static security guard does shows what a typical shift involves. If you are choosing between a front desk role and a guard, see concierge security vs security guard.
