Securitas Ireland

What Securitas Ireland does

Securitas Ireland, legally Securitas Security Services (Ireland) Limited, is the Irish operating subsidiary of Securitas AB, a publicly traded Swedish security conglomerate. The company provides integrated security services to enterprises and SMEs across twelve-plus industry verticals in Ireland, including pharmaceutical, data centres, financial services, education, construction, retail, maritime, manufacturing, logistics, high-tech and critical infrastructure, energy, and aviation. Its headcount of 1,200+ full-time employees serves 1,000+ corporate customers, and it has operated in Ireland for over 25 years, positioning it as the country's oldest security company.

The service portfolio spans six core lines: remote services (alarm and CCTV monitoring, access control, fire alarm monitoring, lone worker protection and mobile CCTV towers) delivered through the Securitas Operations Centre; mobile services (keyholding, alarm response, mobile patrol, vacant property checks); on-site services (professional guarding and the STARS integrated security and reception model); fire and safety (extinguishers, alarms, emergency lighting, suppression, training); electronic security (CCTV, intruder alarms, visitor management, autonomous drones, SentriGuard key management); and corporate risk management (the Risk Intelligence Center subscription tiers plus Securitas Advisor consultancy). The proprietary MySecuritas client portal aggregates reporting, notifications, statistics and risk prediction across these lines. Technology differentiators include Camect AI for video analytics, GPS-enabled lone worker devices with man-down detection, and the global Risk Intelligence Center, which expanded from 2 to 60 analysts since 2019 and produces over 350 intelligence reports annually.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring fixed-fee managed services contracts billed monthly, supplemented by hardware sales and maintenance for electronic security systems, fire and safety installation work, and a four-tier subscription model for risk intelligence (Awareness, Alerting, Advisory, Analyst) with a minimum 12-month term on the Analyst tier and a free two-week Awareness trial. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise and SME field sales supported by a 24/7 communications centre, with no disclosed channel partners or resellers. The Irish entity operates under PSA licensing and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, plus Achilles and SafeContractor accreditations. Disclosed ESG initiatives include 68% of the Irish fleet converted to electric or hybrid vehicles (target 71% by 2026) and a reforestation partnership with Cloudforests (1,500+ trees planted).
