What JenS Security does

JenS Security is a Netherlands-based private security services provider founded in 2001 and headquartered in Emmen, with regional operations across the provinces of Drenthe, Overijssel, and Groningen from four branch offices (Emmen, Hoogeveen, Assen, Coevorden). The company delivers an integrated physical-security offering combining on-site guarding (object security, reception, key management), mobile surveillance with rapid alarm response, event/crowd management, personal/executive protection, a KNPV-certified dog brigade, and transport security. Its customer base spans businesses, industrial estates, healthcare institutions (including GGZ), government bodies, event organizers, and private individuals.

The company's technical layer is anchored by a 24/7-staffed Videoregistratiekamer (Video Registration Room) at Emmen, which integrates PTZ cameras, thermal cameras, bi-spectrum cameras, mobile camera units, and a Commandowagen (mobile command vehicle). Additional product lines include GSM-based alarm systems, the X-Guard emergency/men-down application with GPS and indoor positioning, Profilon anti-intrusion window film, certified safes, and drone security delivered through a partnership with OmniDrones Security. The firm holds the Keurmerk Beveiliging and Keurmerk Evenementen certifications from the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security and is a member of the VEB trade association.

JenS Security operates as a privately held, founder/owner-managed business with no disclosed external investment. Revenue is generated through multi-year professional-services contracts for guarding and surveillance, subscription-based remote monitoring fees, hardware sales for installed security technology, and event-based deployments. The company markets itself through direct field sales, a content-rich SEO-optimized website, and trade-association positioning; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is tailored per client following free site assessments.
