Gabel Security GmbH

What Gabel Security GmbH does

Gabel Security GmbH is a privately held, Berlin-based physical security services provider founded in 2007 by Dennis Gabel and currently led by CEO Jan Uschner. The company operates exclusively in the Berlin and Brandenburg region of Germany and delivers six integrated service pillars: property protection, construction site security, event security, mobile patrol services, lock and unlock services, and access control/doorman services. These are delivered by an in-house trained workforce operating under German security personnel regulations (§34a GewO), and the company self-reports 311 employees and approximately 741 customers served over 18 years of operation.

The core business model is professional services sold via direct, quote-based engagement with both enterprise and private clients. Multi-year contracts anchor the recurring revenue base, while a separate usage-based revenue stream comes from renting surveillance technology such as camera towers and barriers to construction sites and events. Customer demand is addressed through direct sales, inside-sales phone and email inquiry, and content marketing via the company website and Instagram (@gabel_gruppe). The company segments horizontally across manufacturing, banking, retail, public administration, and private clients, with named reference customers including Mikron Berlin GmbH, Laubinger Event GmbH, WiBA Dienstleistungs GmbH, DNS:NET, Douglas, and the Landesvertretung Baden-Württemberg.

Gabel Security holds ISO DIN EN 9001:2015 and DIN 77200 certifications since 2016 and operates a GDPR-compliant, SSL/TLS-encrypted web presence. Its technology surface consists of conventional security services technology — access control systems, surveillance equipment, alarm coordination, and mobile patrol logistics — augmented by an AI-assisted video surveillance offering that uses analytics for suspicious-activity detection. The company is organized under the Gabel Gruppe umbrella brand, has no subsidiaries, no external funding, and no M&A activity in the data set, and continues to invest in workforce development through a Fachkraft für Schutz- und Sicherheit apprenticeship intake announced for 2026/2027.
