What Securitas AG does

Securitas AG Schweizerische Bewachungsgesellschaft is a private Swiss security services company founded in 1907 and headquartered in Zollikofen/Bern, operating as part of the Securitas Gruppe Schweiz. It is the largest security company in Switzerland, deploying more than 8,000 security specialists across 10-11 national regional directorates covering Switzerland and Liechtenstein, with 24/7 service availability. The company serves three primary customer segments: private individuals, enterprises, and government authorities, delivering an integrated portfolio across eight core service divisions: Security Services (auditing, parking management, integral security management, railway safety, training, key deposit, lifeguard, winter sports operations), Reception Service, Guarding Service (property, area, individual, site, holiday guarding, alarm intervention, canine handlers), Traffic Service, Event Security, Public Order Service (including migration/asylum and theft prevention), Protection Service (cash-in-transit, executive protection), and Intervention Service.

The technology layer combines traditional guarding with Robotics as a Service (RaaS) for connected security and a suite of internal digital platforms including SecuriTeam (employee portal), Securitraining (e-learning), Securiclient (customer reporting), and mySecuritas (mobile/web application for customers and employees). The company also operates the CAS General & Security Management program in partnership with ZHAW, investing 23,000+ training hours annually across 50+ programs ranging from entry-level certifications to federal diplomas.

Securitas AG operates a professional services revenue model based on individualized security contracts, typically with one-year initial terms and tacit renewal, serving customers across manufacturing, retail, aviation, education, and public-sector verticals. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise and consumer field sales through the regional directorate network, with no intermediary channels. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company remains family-owned with no public listing. The company was awarded the EcoVadis Bronze Medal in 2025 for sustainability performance, placing it among the top 35% of assessed companies worldwide.
