What Federação Nacional das Empresas de Segurança e Transporte de Valores - FENAVIST does

FENAVIST (Federação Nacional das Empresas de Segurança e Transporte de Valores) is a Brazilian non-profit civil trade federation founded in 1989 and headquartered in Brasília, Distrito Federal, at SBS Quadra 2 Bloco E Salas 1601/1602 in the Ed. Prime Business Convenience building. The federation represents private security and cash/valuables transport companies through a network of 28 affiliated state-level unions (Sindesp's) covering all Brazilian states, serving a sector that employs approximately 495,989 to 600,000 vigilance professionals and generates roughly R$36.3 billion in annual sector revenue. FENAVIST is part of the Sistema CNC (Confederação Nacional do Comércio de Bens, Serviços e Turismo) framework and holds formal advisory roles on the CCASP (Comissão Consultiva para Assuntos de Segurança Privada) under the Brazilian Federal Police.

The federation's core service portfolio consists of institutional rather than technology products. Offerings include: INASEP (Instituto Nacional de Serviços Especializados) for professional training and vigilante certification; the Selo Segurança sem Preconceito quality seal (co-developed with ABCFAV); the Anuário Brasileiro de Segurança Pública statistical publication; Revista Fenavist magazine; legal advisory and pareceres; collective bargaining (CCT) coordination across affiliated unions; the Estratégia da Segurança Privada informational portal under Lei 14.967/2024; and the annual VII Prêmio Mérito e Benemérito da Segurança Privada Nacional. The flagship recent accomplishment was advocacy that led to Lei nº 14.967/2024 (Estatuto da Segurança Privada) entering force in September 2024 and being regulated in June 2026, replacing the 40-year-old Lei 7.102/83.

FENAVIST operates a community-led go-to-market model funded through recurring membership contributions from its 28 affiliated state-level unions and the companies they represent. The federation has approximately 20 staff at headquarters and is governed by an elected board of directors; the July 2026 election installed Flávio Sandrini Baptista as president for the 2026–2030 mandate. Distribution and advocacy reach are exercised through the affiliated unions, the GEASSEG executive meeting circuit, the ENESP regional events, sponsorship of the World Security Congress, and multi-channel content (institutional website, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter/X, podcast, and press relations via Proativa Comunicação).

• CNC (Confederação Nacional do Comércio de Bens, Serviços e Turismo): Brazil's largest commerce, services, and tourism confederation, which FENAVIST is affiliated with. CNC provides FENAVIST institutional reach into broader national economic policy, SESC/SENAC services, and collective positioning on tax and labor reform.
