Civsec Group

What Civsec Group does

Civsec Group is a London-headquartered private security and risk management consultancy providing physical security services to private clients, corporations, and UK public sector entities. The firm was founded by former British Commandos and positions itself as a "top 1% security firm," claiming to safeguard over £5 billion of UK real estate for a client roster that includes royal families, Hilton, UK Parliament, NHS, De Beers, the NFL, Transport for London, the O2 Arena, Alexandra Palace, and private members' club 5 Hertford Street.

The core service portfolio spans five primary lines: Executive and Close Protection, Manned Security, Residential and Estate Security, Dog Patrols and Searches, and Keyholding and Alarm Response — the latter holding over 1,500 keys with what the company claims is the country's quickest average response rate. Supporting offerings include Mobile Patrol Services, Event Security Management, Loss Prevention Services, Security Consultation and Risk Assessment, and 24/7 CCTV Monitoring. Delivery is differentiated by SIA-licensed officers with police or military backgrounds, NASDU-compliant elite canine detection teams, and what the company terms "advanced surveillance technology." Certifications include SIA licensing, NASDU compliance, Armed Forces Covenant affiliation, and ICO registration.

The business operates as a privately held, founder-led entity with an enterprise field-sales motion, delivering bespoke quote-based engagements rather than standardised pricing. All sales are direct and UK-domestic, with marketing reliant on the corporate website, LinkedIn, Facebook, and prominent client-logo display as trust signals. The disclosed headcount of 1–10 is inconsistent with the scale of named contracts, implying heavy use of subcontracted SIA-licensed operatives. The firm maintains dedicated Acquisitions & Investments and Investors pages on its website, signalling openness to external capital or M&A, while the CEO is identified as Hasaan Raza.

Broad incumbents

• G4S (now Allied Universal): G4S is a global security services giant offering manned guarding, secure solutions, and facility services across the UK. Comparable to Civsec Group as a broad incumbent that competes for the same UK enterprise and public-sector contracts but operates at vastly greater scale across the full security stack.
• Securitas UK: Securitas is one of the world's largest security services providers with deep UK presence in guarding, mobile patrols, and specialized security. Comparable to Civsec as a broad incumbent overlapping on manned guarding, mobile patrol, and keyholding services to UK corporate clients.
• Sodexo Engage (Security & Close Protection): Sodexo provides integrated facility services including security, reception, and close protection across the UK and globally. Comparable to Civsec on the executive protection and corporate security side where Sodexo serves similar high-profile corporate and event clients.
• Mitie Security: Mitie is a major UK facilities management and security provider serving enterprise, public sector, and critical infrastructure clients. Comparable to Civsec as a UK-domestic broad incumbent competing for the same corporate, NHS, and government security contracts.

Direct peers

• Kingdom Services Group: Kingdom is a UK-focused security and cleaning services provider offering manned guarding, keyholding, alarm response, and event security. A direct peer to Civsec in UK private-sector and public-sector guarding with similar mid-sized positioning and service mix.
• Ward Security: Ward Security is a UK-based manned guarding, keyholding, and mobile patrol provider serving corporate and high-end residential clients. Comparable to Civsec's residential, keyholding, and manned guarding service lines for a similar UK customer base.
• Amber Security (UK): Amber Security is a UK close protection and residential security specialist with military-vetted operators. Comparable to Civsec on the executive/close protection and high-net-worth residential security niche.
• SIA-approved contractor scheme operators (e.g., Lodge Service): Lodge Service is a UK SIA-approved contractor offering retail loss prevention, manned guarding, and keyholding. Comparable to Civsec on the loss-prevention, keyholding, and corporate retail guarding segments.
• FGH Security: FGH is a UK security firm specializing in event security, stewarding, and crowd management for stadiums and venues. Comparable to Civsec on the event security side given Civsec's Wembley, O2 Arena, and NFL event work.

Emerging players

• Chauffeured security / Maybo (training & canine): Maybo is a UK provider of conflict management training and security-related services used by guarding and event-security operators. Comparable to Civsec as an adjacent niche player in the UK security services ecosystem with partial overlap on training and event security.
