Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. AEGIS can provide armed guarding where the client's risk profile, site requirements and applicable regulatory requirements support an armed deployment. Armed personnel operate as part of a defined security plan with appropriate procedures, supervision, escalation and operational controls.

Yes. AEGIS provides professionally managed unarmed guarding for environments where an armed deployment is not required. Depending on the site, responsibilities may include access control, patrols, searching, visitor management, contractor control, asset protection, reporting and incident escalation.

Yes. AEGIS provides tactical-response capability for elevated-risk environments, security incidents and situations requiring additional operational support beyond conventional guarding. Tactical personnel can also support guarding, patrol, monitoring and control-room operations.

Yes. AEGIS can provide armed-response capability where appropriate to the client's environment, service structure and operational requirements. Response arrangements are structured around the site's risk profile, escalation procedures and supporting security systems.

Yes. AEGIS can assess an existing security operation and develop a structured transition plan where a client intends to change providers. This may include reviewing current personnel requirements, post instructions, access-control procedures, patrols, technology, reporting, vulnerabilities and escalation processes before the new deployment begins.

Yes. Guarding personnel can form part of a broader security structure supported by tactical patrols, tactical response, CCTV monitoring, control-room coordination and other capabilities. This provides an additional escalation layer where the threat environment requires more than a static guarding presence.

Yes. AEGIS can assess a new site and assist in developing its security structure from the outset. This may include risk assessment, guarding requirements, access control, patrol structures, CCTV and monitoring requirements, tactical support, response procedures and reporting processes.

Yes. CCTV monitoring can form part of an AEGIS security solution. Video surveillance can support guards, control-room operators and response teams by improving detection, verification, situational awareness and incident management.

Off-site monitoring allows cameras, alarms and other security systems at a protected site to be monitored remotely. When an event or alert is detected, operators can assess the available information, verify the incident where possible and follow defined escalation procedures. This can improve detection while allowing security resources to be deployed more efficiently.

Yes. Automatic Number Plate Recognition / Licence Plate Recognition technology can be incorporated into appropriate AEGIS security solutions. ANPR/LPR can assist with vehicle identification, access management, movement records, alerts and the investigation of relevant vehicle activity.

Yes. AEGIS can incorporate AI-assisted video analytics and detection technology where appropriate. These systems can assist operators by identifying predefined events or behaviours within large volumes of video information. AI supports human operators and security personnel; it does not replace operational judgement, verification and response procedures.

In many cases, yes. AEGIS can assess existing CCTV and security infrastructure to determine whether it can be incorporated into a broader monitoring or operational security solution. Compatibility depends on the equipment, software, network architecture and condition of the existing system. More detail is available on our security technology page.

Yes. AEGIS provides control-room support and monitoring capability for security operations requiring centralised oversight, communication, event handling and escalation. Control-room functions can coordinate CCTV, alarms, security personnel, tactical resources and incident reporting.

Yes. AEGIS ELITE is drone capable. Drone-supported security operations may be incorporated where they provide an operational advantage and where the deployment is legally authorised and appropriate to the environment. Potential applications can include aerial observation, situational awareness, perimeter assessment and support to security operations. Any drone deployment remains subject to applicable aviation regulations, permissions and operational requirements.

Yes. This is a core principle of AEGIS's integrated-security approach. Technology can provide detection and verification, control-room personnel can assess and coordinate information, and guarding or tactical personnel can provide physical intervention when required. The objective is to combine technology and operational capability rather than treating them as separate security functions.

Yes. AEGIS provides security solutions for warehouse and distribution environments. Depending on the site, this can include guarding, armed guarding, access control, vehicle and personnel searches, patrols, CCTV monitoring, tactical support, goods-movement controls and incident management.

Yes. AEGIS supports logistics and distribution operations where security may need to cover both fixed facilities and the movement of personnel or assets. Solutions may incorporate guarding, monitoring, journey management, tactical support and armed escorting depending on the risks involved.

Yes. AEGIS provides security services for industrial facilities and operating environments. Industrial security programmes can be structured around the site's access points, perimeter, people, vehicles, assets, production requirements and identified threats.

Yes. AEGIS can provide integrated security solutions for residential estates and controlled residential environments. Depending on the estate's requirements, this may include access control, guarding, patrols, monitoring, technology and tactical-response capability.

Yes. AEGIS provides security solutions for corporate offices, commercial properties and business parks. Services can include guarding, access control, visitor management, patrols, CCTV monitoring, response, executive protection and security risk assessments.

Yes. Manufacturing environments often require security controls around employees, contractors, vehicles, stock, restricted areas, dispatch processes and perimeter protection. AEGIS can structure an appropriate combination of guarding, procedures, technology and response around those requirements.

Yes. Protecting high-value assets can involve fixed-site security, monitoring, access control, armed personnel, escorts, tactical support or journey management depending on where the asset is located and how it is moved. The appropriate solution is determined through an assessment of the exposure and operational requirements.
