What Seguridad Atempi does

Seguridad Atempi de Colombia LTDA is a privately held Colombian private security company founded in 1974 and headquartered in Medellín, with a regional headquarters in Bogotá and service offices in 10 cities covering 25+ Colombian markets. The company employs over 2,200 personnel and delivers an integrated portfolio of security services that combines human guarding, canine units (Vigilancia Canina), executive protection (Escoltas), risk management consulting (Jefes de Riesgo), investigations, and security studies with electronic security systems including CCTV with video analytics, alarm monitoring, biometric and facial recognition access control, perimeter security, satellite vehicle tracking, and remote monitoring from a central station.

The technology backbone consists of two proprietary platforms: SEMA (Sistema de Evaluación y Mejoramiento Atempi), the company's national security systems integration platform, and SEIF, a real-time control and heat map technology partner. The company integrates these with conventional CCTV, alarm, and access control infrastructure to deliver quote-based, customized monthly contracts across 11 customer verticals including mining, banking and financial, retail, education, logistics, residential, healthcare, industrial, telecommunications, infrastructure, and shopping centers.

Commercially, Seguridad Atempi operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market through direct enterprise field sales backed by WhatsApp-based lead capture and physical regional offices. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly subscription contracts for security personnel and electronic systems. The company holds ISO 31000 Risk Managers certification from PECB and CSR certification from Corporación Fenalco Solidario Colombia, operates under license from the Superintendencia de Vigilancia y Seguridad Privada, and maintains workforce training partnerships with SENA, Academia M&S Capacitaciones, and the Fundatempi foundation. Named enterprise clients include Continental Gold (mining), Ecoenergéticos (energy/port), Flamingo (retail), Central Chivor (hydroelectric), and Universidad Central and Universidad de los Andes (education).

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Prosegur: Spanish-origin multinational security services company with major Colombian operations providing physical guarding, cash-in-transit, and electronic security. Directly comparable to Atempi across the same service lines and customer verticals, but at much larger scale and geographic breadth.
• Securitas: Swedish-origin global security services leader with significant LatAm (including Colombia) operations across guarding, electronic security, and integrated solutions. Comparable in service portfolio and enterprise B2B sales motion; substantially larger in scale and technology investment.

Broad incumbents

• ADT: Global electronic security and alarm-monitoring incumbent with Latin American operations (including Colombia) focused on intrusion detection, video surveillance, and monitoring services. Compares specifically to Atempi's electronic security and monitoring business lines.
• Allied Universal (G4S): Global security services leader formed via Allied Universal's acquisition of G4S, with Colombian presence across guarding and integrated security. Comparable delivery model (manned guarding + electronic) but operates at vastly greater scale and as a broader-portfolio incumbent.
• Stanley Security: Global electronic security, access control, and integrated monitoring provider present in Latin America. Closely comparable to Atempi's electronic security systems integration and remote monitoring services, but as part of a much larger portfolio company.
• Brink's: Global secure-logistics and security services company with Colombian presence across cash-in-transit, ATM services, and commercial security. Comparable B2B security services DNA and enterprise customer overlap, though more concentrated in cash-handling and armored transport.

Emerging players

• Verisure: Tech-enabled monitored-alarm and smart-security provider expanding across Latin America with cloud-first, AI-driven monitoring offerings. Comparable in the electronic-security and remote-monitoring layer; competes for the same B2B and B2C customers Atempi targets, often at lower cost-to-serve.
