What Coviar does

Coviar (legal name Compañía de Vigilancia Aragonesa, S.L.) is a Spain-based private security operator founded in 1984 and headquartered in Zaragoza. It delivers an integrated 360-degree security stack to residential and commercial customers across the entire Spanish territory, spanning alarm systems for home and business, CCTV/video surveillance with IP cameras, fire detection and suppression, access control, on-site physical guarding (armed, unarmed, canine, event), and personal protection/bodyguard services. A proprietary Central Receptora de Alarmas (CRA) provides 24/7/365 monitoring with rapid-response (Acudas) and key-custody (S.V.R.) capabilities, and the company's App Coviar mobile application enables remote arm/disarm, live video viewing, push notifications, and smart-home/IoT integration. The company holds national authorization #958 from Spain's Dirección General de Seguridad del Estado and is certified under ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 45001 and the Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (High level, RD311-2022).

The business operates through a national network of 14+ regional delegations (Zaragoza, Huesca, Teruel, Madrid, Valencia/Alicante/Castellón, Santander, Pamplona, Palma de Mallorca, Murcia, Cáceres) plus a dedicated training center. Coviar employs 1,200+ security professionals and monetizes through a mix of recurring monthly residential monitoring subscriptions, one-time installation and maintenance contracts, professional services for physical guarding and escort work, and custom annual enterprise contracts for integrated security solutions. Pricing is quote-based across all segments, with no public rate card.

The company functions as a parent group alongside three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Euroibérica de Servicios (auxiliary/concierge/maintenance), Vesta Teleasistencia (remote telecare), and TDF Tiempo de Formación (training and consulting), which extend the core security offering into adjacent recurring-service verticals. Distribution is direct-to-customer via field delegations, a 24/7 toll-free inside-sales line, and website contact forms; no intermediary channels are used. Coviar is privately held with no disclosed external funding, suggesting founder or family ownership under the original Compañía de Vigilancia Aragonesa structure.
