Securitas

What Securitas does

Securitas AB is a Stockholm-headquartered, publicly listed (Nasdaq Stockholm: SECU B) global security services provider founded in 1934, operating in 44 markets with approximately 322,000-340,000 employees. It is the world's second-largest security services provider, offering an integrated portfolio across on-site guarding, mobile security, aviation security, fire and safety, electronic security, remote video monitoring, advisory, and risk intelligence. The company serves enterprise clients across verticals including aviation, construction, critical infrastructure, data centers, manufacturing, maritime, retail, residential, and SMEs, with a dedicated Global Client Program for multinational corporations requiring cross-border service consistency.

The company's technology platform is anchored on MySecuritas, a proprietary digital ecosystem integrating AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics across remote services, mobile guard reporting, risk prediction, digital ID protection, global guarding, and risk intelligence modules. Infrastructure is hosted on Microsoft Azure (Ireland and Netherlands), and the AI capability is led by a dedicated in-house team developing LLMs, deep learning neural networks, computer vision, and predictive analytics. The 2026 acquisitions of Liferaft (OSINT/threat intelligence SaaS, MSEK 138 ARR, 30%+ organic growth) and CamVision (video surveillance), combined with the legacy Pinkerton risk management franchise, were consolidated into a new Security Risk Management (SRM) business unit under Matt Ellis (ex-Amazon), reinforcing the strategic shift from labor-intensive guarding toward technology-enabled, higher-margin, recurring-revenue services.

Securitas generates revenue primarily through subscription-style and recurring service contracts (guarding, monitoring, maintenance, risk intelligence subscriptions) plus professional services for advisory work. Pricing is quote-based and enterprise-negotiated; the Risk Intelligence product follows a four-tier subscription model (Awareness, Alerting, Advisory, Analyst). FY2025 total sales reached MSEK 155,113 with a 7.4% adjusted operating margin (up from 6.9% in 2024), marking 21 consecutive quarters of margin improvement. The 2030 strategy targets a 10%+ long-term operating margin and 10% average annual EPS growth, supported by portfolio optimization (e.g., the March 2026 divestiture of Global Elite Group, MUSD 100 in sales) and continued tech M&A.
