Security that keeps your business moving.
The best corporate security is rarely noticed. Colleagues arrive and get on with their day, visitors are welcomed and signed in without fuss, and the building runs as it should, from the first arrival to the last light off.
Vigilo provides professional security for headquarters, offices and corporate buildings, protecting your people, premises and confidential information while keeping the working day running smoothly.
Your workplace
Professional by default, discreet by design
Every organisation has its own way of working. A law firm hosts a steady stream of confidential client meetings, a headquarters welcomes hundreds of colleagues before nine, and a family office may see only a handful of visitors each week.
Our service is built around yours.
We start by understanding your culture, your people and the pattern of your working week. That shapes who we place with you, how they present themselves and how they work with your facilities, reception and leadership teams.
- Your colleagues feel safe, your visitors feel welcome and your business carries on undisturbed.
What we cover
From the front desk to the boardroom
Corporate security covers far more than the main entrance. We look at how your building is used across the whole working day, from deliveries and visitor arrivals to board meetings and the hours after everyone has gone home.
Officers for your building
Well-presented officers who understand the corporate environment. They keep a watchful eye on your premises, deter unauthorised access and give colleagues and visitors a reassuring point of contact.
Front desk and reception
Your reception says a lot about your organisation. We provide professional front-of-house cover that greets visitors warmly, checks credentials properly and keeps the lobby calm and orderly at the busiest times of day.
Passes, access and visitors
We help you control who comes and goes, from issuing passes and managing visitor lists to monitoring access points, so your building stays secure without slowing anyone down.
Senior leaders and visiting dignitaries
When your chief executive is in the building, investors are visiting or a high-profile guest is expected, we plan the details: discreet arrival routes, private meeting spaces and coordination with any personal protection team.
Meetings that matter
Board meetings, AGMs, results days and client events often bring confidential conversations and unfamiliar faces into the building. We plan security around the occasion, from guest lists and arrivals to keeping sensitive spaces private.
Evenings, weekends and overnight
Buildings are often most exposed when they are quiet. We can provide opening and lock-up routines, patrols, overnight cover and oversight of contractors and deliveries outside working hours.
How we operate
Steady judgement, clear procedures.
In a corporate setting, much of the job is preventing problems before they start: noticing a door left on the latch, an unexpected visitor without an appointment or a situation at reception that needs a calm word.
When something does need handling, our officers follow procedures agreed with you in advance. Your facilities and leadership teams know how incidents will be reported, who will be informed and how quickly, so there are no surprises.
- Incidents are handled quietly, reported clearly and kept in confidence.
Who we work with
Offices of every size and sensitivity
From a single floor to a landmark headquarters, every service begins with one question: what does your organisation need to operate with confidence?
We support corporate clients including:
- Corporate headquarters and head offices
- Financial, legal and professional services firms
- Multi-tenant office buildings and business centres
- Private offices and family offices
- Private members’ clubs and executive workspaces
- Boardrooms, conference suites and corporate events
Our process
Clear from the first conversation
-
01
Assessing your site
We start by looking at your building, how it is used and any concerns you already have. We talk to the people who run it day to day, because how colleagues and visitors move through the space matters as much as the layout.
-
02
Setting out the service
We recommend the right level of cover and agree the details with you: officer numbers and hours, responsibilities, dress standards, reporting and how incidents will be escalated.
-
03
Onboarding our officers
Officers are briefed on your building, procedures and key contacts before they start, so they can work alongside your facilities and reception teams with confidence from the first day.
-
04
Regular reviews
We meet with you regularly to review how the service is performing, share what our officers have observed and adjust cover as your organisation grows or changes.
Questions
Frequently asked questions about corporate security
Corporate security
What should a corporate security service include?
Corporate security should reflect how your workplace operates. It may include reception security, visitor verification, access control, building patrols and incident response. The right combination depends on your premises, working hours and the needs of your employees and visitors.
Can security officers provide a professional welcome at reception?
Yes. Front-of-house security can combine a welcoming reception presence with careful access management. Officers may greet visitors, check appointments, issue passes and contact hosts, helping people reach the right place while maintaining your building’s security procedures.
How do you prevent unauthorised access to an office building?
Effective office security combines clear procedures, attentive officers and appropriate access systems. This can include checking credentials, managing deliveries, challenging unfamiliar visitors professionally and identifying tailgating. Employees also need clear guidance on admitting guests and reporting concerns.
Is corporate security suitable for a shared or multi-tenant building?
Shared buildings benefit from a coordinated approach to security. Officers need to understand communal areas, individual tenant requirements and the responsibilities of building management. Agreed procedures help manage visitor access, contractor activity and incidents affecting more than one occupier.
What happens when an employee or visitor raises a security concern?
The security team should assess the concern, take appropriate action and escalate it through agreed channels. Clear reporting gives your management team a record of what happened, how it was handled and whether further action is needed. Immediate threats should follow the building’s emergency procedures.
Do we need office security outside normal working hours?
It depends on your building’s occupancy, assets and risks. Evening, overnight or weekend cover may be useful where employees work late, contractors need access or premises are otherwise unoccupied. A review of your operating patterns can help identify the appropriate level of protection.
Can your officers work with our facilities management team?
Corporate security works best when it is closely coordinated with facilities, reception and building management. Shared briefings and clear responsibilities help teams manage maintenance visits, access requests, building issues and emergency arrangements consistently.
How are confidential areas and sensitive information protected?
Security officers can help control physical access to areas such as executive offices, records rooms and server rooms. Visitor supervision, secure handling of access credentials and clear reporting procedures support this protection. Officers should also understand confidentiality expectations and the limits of their authority.
Will security officers fit our company’s image and workplace culture?
Presentation and communication should be part of the security brief. Uniform, manner and approach can be aligned with your workplace, whether you need a formal reception presence or discreet support across your premises. Officers should remain approachable while applying security procedures consistently.
How do we put the right corporate security arrangements in place?
Start by identifying what needs protecting, how people use the building and where your current concerns lie. Vigilo can use this brief to discuss the duties, coverage and service expectations required for your premises, providing the basis for a tailored corporate security proposal.
