Professional guarding
Security Services
A visible security presence that supports access, awareness, professionalism and confidence across your site.
What This Service Involves
Static security places a trained officer at your premises for agreed hours. The officer provides a consistent presence, supports your access arrangements and gives staff and visitors someone to turn to if something goes wrong.
The role depends on the site. It might centre on a gatehouse, a reception point, a building patrol route or a combination, and it should always be set out in clear site instructions.
When guarding is needed
Static security can be appropriate where a permanent, accountable presence helps manage access, deter unwanted activity and support site procedures.
- Unauthorised access or uncertain visitor control
- Out-of-hours vulnerability
- Theft, damage or disruptive behaviour
- A need for visible reassurance for staff and visitors
- Incidents requiring clear escalation and accurate reporting

Common Questions
Can guarding be shaped around our site procedures?
Yes. The starting point is your environment, operating hours, access arrangements and identified risks. Duties and escalation routes are then documented for the assignment.
Where can iSecure provide services?
Primary coverage is Cork and Dublin, with services also available nationwide. Suitability can be discussed for your location.
How long does it take to arrange cover?
It depends on the location, hours and requirements of the assignment. Tell us your preferred start date and we can discuss what is achievable.
Can cover be arranged for a short period?
Share the dates and hours you need and we can discuss whether short-term cover is suitable for your site.
What is the difference between guarding and a patrol?
A guard stays on site for agreed hours, while a patrol is a planned visit to check agreed areas. Some sites use one, and others use both.
Can officers work from our gatehouse or reception?
Yes. The role might centre on a gatehouse, a reception point, a building patrol route or a combination, as set out in your site instructions.
