Stronger together: how we enable security partners to deliver smarter security

Article

Across the security industry, organisations are facing increasingly complex challenges. From protecting high-value construction projects to ensuring the safety of lone workers and securing remote locations, modern risks demand solutions that combine expertise, technology and rapid response.

We work with clients across the UK and Europe through our network of security partners, enabling them to enhance their service offering with specialist technology, monitoring capability and operational support. This allows our partners to deliver smarter, more resilient protection for their clients while maintaining the human expertise at the centre of their operations.

Supporting security providers with technology and expertise

Security companies increasingly need solutions that complement their guarding services and allow them to offer enhanced protection to their customers.

By combining professional security personnel with intelligent monitoring technology, we help our partners create layered security models that improve visibility, response capability and operational resilience.

This approach allows officers to remain mobile and effective while technology provides continuous monitoring and real-time alerts when potential risks are detected.

Real-world results from our security partners.

Tragopan Security Solutions

Tragopan Security Solutions deployed a layered security model combining on-site officers with our AI-enabled smart towers to secure a high-value residential development in Berkshire. The solution provided continuous visibility across the site, reducing incident response times by more than 60% and ensuring there were no intrusions or theft for their client.

“The integration of AI-enabled monitoring alongside our on-site teams has strengthened the service we deliver to our client. It provides continuous visibility across the site and gives both our team and the client complete confidence in the security provision.” – Imran Ahmed, Director
SmartSec Solutions

SmartSec Solutions partnered with us to introduce remotely monitored CCTV towers for a vacant property owned by Haringey Council, providing a cost-effective alternative to manned guarding while preventing multiple attempted break-ins for their client. The company has also deployed our lone worker devices across its operations and is now incorporating these solutions into client tenders as a value-add, enhancing the protection of frontline personnel.

“Partnering with Orbis has enabled us to enhance the solutions we deliver to our clients, combining guarding with technology to create more effective and cost-efficient security. We see Orbis as an extension of our own team.” – Helmey El-Aasar, Managing Director
Agile Guarding Services

Agile Guarding Services deployed our Red Alert lone worker devices across quarry sites in the Northwest of England, providing officers working in remote locations with a reliable, always-connected way to raise an alarm instantly, even in areas with limited mobile connectivity. Over a 12-month period, this resulted in a 50% reduction in communication loss across multiple sites, significantly improving safety in environments where traditional mobile coverage is unreliable. On multiple occasions, officers successfully requested support using the devices when standard communication methods were unavailable.

“Introducing Orbis lone worker devices has allowed us to offer our clients an additional layer of protection for our teams. It’s a simple but effective solution that has strengthened safety across our sites.” – Sal Iqbal, Head of Fire & Security Systems
K4 Security Services

K4 Security Services introduced body-worn cameras and man-down devices across retail environments in high-risk areas of London, delivering enhanced protection for their client’s stores. Within the first two months of deployment, the client recorded a 60% reduction in reported incidents, demonstrating the deterrent impact of visible security technology.

“The introduction of body-worn cameras has had a clear impact across our client’s stores. It has helped reduce incidents while also increasing the confidence of our officers on the ground.” – Gary McConnell, Head of Protective Services

Powered by our accredited Alarm Receiving Centre

A key part of how we support our security partners is through our accredited Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) — our central control centre, that safeguards people, sites and properties across the UK through 24/7/365 monitoring.

From this integrated hub, our SIA-trained surveillance operators monitor thousands of CCTV systems, alarms and lone worker devices in real time, assessing incidents and coordinating rapid responses with mobile teams, keyholders and local police where required. Supported by Orbis AI, the ARC is designed to detect genuine threats quickly while reducing unnecessary alerts, ensuring a faster and more efficient response.

Our ARC currently:

Monitors 2,100+ CCTV towers
Supports 95,000+ lone workers
Oversees 3,500+ intruder alarm systems

Over the last 12 months:

Handled approximately 6 million alarms – an activation every 5–6 seconds
Achieves an industry-leading average response time of 11 seconds

With AI functionality reducing alarms presented to operators by 30% with 99.9% accuracy, our ARC enables our partners to deliver efficient, reliable and scalable security solutions to their clients.

Strengthening security through partnership

These examples highlight the role that collaboration can play in strengthening security services. By working closely with security providers, we help our partners expand their capabilities, integrate advanced technology into their services and deliver improved outcomes for their clients.

As the security landscape continues to evolve, partnerships between technology specialists and experienced security professionals will remain essential to delivering effective, adaptable protection. Together with our network of security partners, we continue to develop solutions that help safeguard people, property and assets – wherever they are needed most.
