Securitas France

What Securitas France does

Securitas France is the French subsidiary of the Swedish-listed Securitas AB group, founded in France in 1992 and headquartered in Issy-les-Moulineaux. It is the #1 private security firm in France, employing 17,000 people across more than 150 local agencies, and serving both large enterprises and SMEs across verticals including data centers, financial services, industrial sites, R&D facilities, telecommunications, and waste management. The company sells integrated, customized security solutions under a single contract, drawing on a portfolio that spans manned guarding (sûreté), mobile patrols, fire safety, corporate reception, professional training, and risk management consulting.

The technology stack combines human surveillance with electronic security systems: access control, intrusion detection, intelligent video surveillance, fire detection, and remote maintenance, plus APSAD P3-certified remote monitoring (télésurveillance) that grants access to dedicated police response lines. Branded proprietary products include SecuRobot (an autonomous security robot for industrial and large-area sites), SecurCam (temporary intelligent video surveillance for vacant and construction sites), Vision (an interactive security piloting platform with real-time client reporting), and RVS Go/Pro (mobile and professional video patrol services). Computer vision, anomaly detection, and process automation are embedded across these offerings, with augmented agents using multimodal devices (drones, body-worn cameras, infrared/VR goggles).

The business model is managed services and bespoke contracts sold via direct enterprise field sales, supported by a national agency network and a dedicated recruitment portal. Pricing is negotiated per client and per scope, with no public pricing disclosed. The company also operates an in-house training infrastructure with certified academies across at least eight French cities, producing TFP APS, MAC APS, and SST graduates to staff its operations. Securitas acquired Automatic Alarm in 2018 to deepen its electronic security capabilities and consolidate its integrated human-plus-technology positioning.
