Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with services typically contracted under multi-year agreements. SEPROSA also operates Seprosa Store (seprosastore.com), an e-commerce platform selling security equipment directly to consumers and small businesses. The customer base spans commercial and industrial enterprises, banking and financial institutions (BAC Panamá, SURA), energy and utilities (Ensa, Panagas, Terpel), hospitality (Sheraton Bijao), government (Órgano Judicial), retail (Chiquita, Grupo Bimbo, Ricardo Pérez), logistics (Vopak, MiBus), and residential clients across Panama.

Broad incumbents

• ADT Inc. U.S.-listed provider of monitored security, intrusion detection, video surveillance, and smart-home/automation services. Comparable to SEPROSA's electronic security and 24/7 monitoring subscription layer, though predominantly residential/SMB-focused.
• GardaWorld: Canadian-headquartered global security and cash services firm offering guarding, concierge, risk consulting, and cash-in-transit. Comparable to SEPROSA's manned-guarding and cash/values custody services.
• G4S: Global security solutions provider offering manned security, monitoring, and risk management across more than 80 countries. Comparable as a broad incumbent with overlapping integrated services and a multinational footprint that SEPROSA lacks.
• Securitas AB: Sweden-based global security services giant offering guarding, electronic security, and integrated solutions worldwide. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering the same multi-line stack SEPROSA provides, though at vastly larger scale.
• Allied Universal: North American security services leader (combined with G4S) offering manned security, technology-based security solutions, and monitoring. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for enterprise and government contracts with integrated service bundles.
• Johnson Controls Security & Fire (Tyco): Global integrated security, fire, and building management provider offering intrusion, video, access control, and monitoring. Comparable to SEPROSA's fire-protection and electronic security lines under a much larger, multi-national portfolio.
• STANLEY Security: Global electronic security provider offering intrusion, video surveillance, access control, fire, and monitoring services to commercial and enterprise customers. Closely comparable to SEPROSA's electronic security and monitoring stack.

Direct peers

Others
