What Global-Security does

Global-Securite.ch is a privately held Swiss security services group headquartered in Meyrin, Switzerland, operating since 1982 through its founding entity SPS SA and now comprising 14 wholly-owned subsidiaries that collectively cover the full security value chain: system installation, 24/7 alarm monitoring, and on-site security services. The group serves individuals (particuliers), SMEs (PME), banks, government authorities, healthcare institutions, and event organizers across Swiss Romande and German-speaking Switzerland (Geneva, Vaud, Fribourg, Valais, Basel, Zurich, Ticino), with marquee reference customers including the Université de Lausanne, Port de Cannes, Festival Sion sous les Étoiles, Hôpital du Valais, and TPG.

The product portfolio spans physical security systems (alarm systems, video surveillance, access control, fire detection, fog generators, IWA 14/PAS 68-certified anti-vehicle barriers, anti-aggression alarms, external perimeter protection), all integrated through the LENEL ONGUARD centralized management platform and the CATE (Centre d'Alarme de Traitement et d'Engagement) 24/7 monitoring center in Carouge. Guard services include security officers (huissiers), intervention agents, patrol agents, event security, construction site security, parking control, and reception hostesses. The ADRIEN line adds individual protection products: GPS/SIM-enabled SOS beacons with microphone/speaker, ADRIEN Pro for isolated worker protection, and ADRIEN Home featuring AI-powered fall detection for medical-social establishments and private homes.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring subscriptions (alarm systems, video, access control, ADRIEN monitoring), managed services (CATE 24/7 alarm reception, geolocation, remote site management, call center), professional services (on-demand guards, events, construction site surveillance), usage-based rentals (anti-vehicle barriers), and hardware sales (COVID-19 protection products). Go-to-market is consultative direct field sales targeting both B2B (banks, institutions, government, enterprises) and B2C (homeowners, elderly care) buyers, supported by an eduQua-certified in-house training academy (Global-Academy.ch) and ISO 9001:2015 / ISO 45001:2018 certifications held across four operating entities.

Direct peers

• Securitas AG (Switzerland): Swiss subsidiary of the global Securitas AB, the world's largest security services group. Directly competes with Global-Securite.ch across guard, monitoring, and electronic security services for enterprise and government clients in Switzerland, and is the primary national-scale incumbent.
• Protectas AG: One of the largest Swiss private security companies, also historically affiliated with Securitas. Offers manned guarding, alarm monitoring, and electronic security solutions across Switzerland, directly overlapping Global-Securite.ch's service portfolio and customer segments.
• Securiton AG: Swiss-headquartered specialist in fire detection, intrusion alarm, voice alarm, and security management systems. Direct competitor in electronic security systems integration and central monitoring, and a natural benchmark for the systems-installation half of Global-Securite.ch's business.
• Verisure Securitas Direct (Switzerland): Leading direct-to-consumer home alarm specialist in Switzerland, with monitored alarm subscriptions and 24/7 SOC. Competes head-on with Global-Securite.ch's particuliers and PME segments, and represents the cloud-native, vertically integrated model the group is partially emulating with Adrien.

Indirect competitor in alarm transmission and connected-security services, leveraging its network infrastructure as a structural advantage.
