What VPSitex does

VPSitex is a French provider of temporary security services for vacant and active properties, operating as the French subsidiary of the European VPS Group. The company delivers an integrated three-pillar security offering: electronic surveillance (intrusion detection, video surveillance, multi-risk detection, Smart Eyes, Fire Alert, POD autonomous security pods, Check'in access management, and the 2024-launched RDTa rapid deployment tower), physical protection (anti-squat certified doors, reinforced doors, connected Smartdoor access systems, steel plating, concrete blocks, mobile fencing, secured inspection hatches), and human intervention (24/7 guarding, canine units, sensitive-site agents, and occupation-based protection where personnel physically occupy premises to deter squatting). Services cover the full project lifecycle from risk audit through installation, monitoring, and optimization.

The business is B2B and sales-led, targeting enterprise and institutional customers including social housing providers (INLI, ERILIA, ADOMA, CDC Habitat Social, and others), transport infrastructure (SNCF), real estate and property managers (Foncia), construction developers, local authorities, industrial firms, co-ownership syndicates, judicial officers, and project owners. Pricing is quote-based, set after a free diagnostic assessment, with multi-year recurring service contracts forming the bulk of revenue alongside one-time product sales (anti-squat doors, steel plating, fencing).

VPSitex operates from its Paris headquarters (8 rue Bernard Buffet, 75017 Paris), employs 251-500 people, and holds CNAPS professional security authorization (AUT-075-2123-07-10-20240378085), the mandatory regulatory approval for private security activity in France. The company secures thousands of sites nationally and handles approximately 100,000 alarm interventions annually, leveraging the broader VPS Group platform spanning the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, Prodomo, and Evander.

Broad incumbents

• Allied Universal (France): Global security services firm with French operations providing manned guarding, electronic security, and integrated solutions. Comparable offering footprint to VPSitex, though skewed toward large enterprise and government contracts.
• Brink's France: French subsidiary of Brink's providing secure logistics, cash handling, and security services including guarding and monitoring. Comparable in security services scope, with a stronger cash-handling bias than VPSitex.
• Securitas France: French arm of global security leader Securitas AB, providing guarding, mobile patrol, and electronic security to commercial and public-sector clients. Overlaps with VPSitex on guarding and remote monitoring, but operates at much broader multinational scale.
• Prosegur France: Spanish-headquartered multinational security provider with French guarding and cash-handling operations. Comparable in guarding and electronic surveillance; broader portfolio including cash-in-transit differs from VPSitex's vacant-property focus.

Regional players

• VPS UK: UK arm of parent VPS Group offering vacant property and construction site security. Operates in a different geography from VPSitex but with near-identical product offering (POD, Smart Eyes, anti-squat doors), making it a strong product/operational benchmark.
• Clearway (WSCP Group): UK specialist in vacant property security, CCTV towers, and construction site protection. Operates in a different geography than VPSitex but addresses the same niche use case with overlapping technology (rapid-deployment CCTV towers) and customer profile.

Direct peers

• Evander: UK-based sister company within VPS Group, providing temporary/vacant property security including electronic surveillance and physical protection. Direct strategic and operational peer given shared ownership, product portfolio overlap, and identical core use case.
• Seris Group: Major French private security group offering manned guarding, electronic surveillance, and remote monitoring across France. Directly comparable to VPSitex in scope (guarding + electronic) and customer overlap in real estate, retail, and public-sector segments.
• Sotel: Mid-sized French security services firm offering manned guarding, electronic security, and site surveillance. Closely comparable to VPSitex in size, geographic focus (France), and customer mix across real estate and industry segments.

Others

• Prodomo: French sister entity within VPS Group focused on fire safety and intrusion detection services. Thematically related as part of the broader VPS Group ecosystem, with adjacent rather than overlapping customer propositions.
