What Aviation Security Group does

Aviation Security Group S.A.C. (ASG Perú) is a privately-held Peruvian company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Santiago de Surco, Lima, with 257 employees. The company is licensed by Peru's Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC) to provide Servicios Especializados Aeroportuarios (SEA) and holds Fixed Base Operator (FBO) habilitation, making it one of a small number of certified providers of specialized civil aviation security services in the country. It also holds voluntary BASC (Business Alliance for Secure Commerce) certification for trade and supply-chain security.

ASG operates an integrated airport security service platform covering passenger screening with document verification and behavioral analysis, aircraft access control and physical custody, checked baggage screening using X-ray, ETD, EDS, and EDDS equipment, cargo and mail security, CCTV and alarm monitoring, pedestrian and vehicular access control, commissary and flight-kitchen security, and facility and warehouse custody. Personnel are trained under TSA (AOSSP, MSP, ACSSP, PCSSP), EU regulations, and IATA IOSA standards, with selection processes that include background checks, psychological testing, substance screening, and polygraph examinations.

The business model is professional services revenue under per-client contracts with scope tailored to each airline, airport operator, FBO facility, or cargo handler, primarily at Jorge Chávez International Airport and other Peruvian aviation facilities. Go-to-market is direct relationship-based, positioning ASG as a long-term strategic partner rather than a transactional vendor. Customer segments are airlines and commercial air transport operators (primary), airport operators and FBO facilities (primary), and cargo and freight handlers (secondary). The company has no disclosed funding, M&A, or international footprint beyond Peru.

Direct peers

• Securitas AB: Swedish-headquartered global security services giant with established Peru operations and a dedicated aviation security division offering passenger screening, cargo security, and access control. Directly comparable to ASG in service mix, though operating at far larger scale across multiple geographies.
• The Brink's Company: US-listed secure logistics and security services provider with significant Peru operations covering cash-in-transit, ATM, and aviation/airport security services. Comparable to ASG in serving Peruvian aviation clients with regulated security and surveillance offerings.
• I-SEC International: Dutch aviation security specialist offering passenger screening, baggage and cargo security, K9 explosive detection, and security operations center services. Closely matches ASG's service-by-service AVSEC portfolio and target client base of airports and airlines.
• ICTS International: Dutch-headquartered specialist in aviation security (AVSEC) providing passenger and baggage screening, hold baggage and cargo inspection, and security training to airports and airlines globally. Highly comparable to ASG given its pure-play focus on the same core AVSEC service lines.
• Allied Universal: US-based global security services firm (formed via G4S acquisition) with aviation security capabilities and presence across the Americas. Comparable to ASG in delivering contract-based manned security, access control, and AVSEC services to enterprise and aviation clients.
• Prosegur: Spanish-listed security company with deep Latin American operations including Peru, providing guarding, cash-in-transit, and aviation-related security services. Comparable to ASG in its focus on the Andean and broader Latin American aviation and infrastructure security markets.

Broad incumbents

• Loomis AB: Swedish-listed cash handling and security services provider with Latin American operations. Overlaps with ASG in providing manned guarding, secure logistics, and facility security to enterprise clients, though its core focus is cash-in-transit rather than aviation.
• Control Risks: UK-based global security risk consultancy with an aviation security practice advising airlines, airports, and governments on threat assessment, AVSEC compliance, and incident response. Adjacent peer: not a direct operational competitor to ASG but serves the same end customers from a higher-margin advisory angle.
