When a business first realises they need security, it’s not always obvious which service to request a quote for. Your challenges, risks and environment are unique — and the right solution depends on what you’re trying to protect.
At ESG Security, we make it simple. Use this guide to identify the type of protection that best fits your needs.
Start with your situation
Choose the statement that sounds most like your business:
1. We need to stop theft, anti‑social behaviour or protect staff.
Recommended: Security Guarding (Security Officer) A uniformed officer provides a visible, professional presence to deter crime, protect people, and maintain order. Ideal for: retail, warehouses, offices, reception areas, corporate sites.
2. We don’t need a full‑time guard — just checks at intervals.
Recommended: Mobile Patrols Highly visible patrol vehicles visit your site at agreed intervals, ensuring deterrence without all‑day staffing. Ideal for: industrial estates, business parks, vacant premises, car parks.
3. We need someone to attend alarm activations safely and quickly.
Recommended: Key holding & Alarm Response Our trained officers respond to alarm activations 24/7 so your staff don’t have to put themselves at risk. Ideal for: any business with an alarm system.
4. We operate a bar, club, event space or licensed venue.
Recommended: Door Supervisors SIA‑licensed professionals managing customer flow, preventing conflict, and ensuring safety inside and outside the venue.
5. We have a large outdoor area or perimeter that’s being targeted.
Recommended: General Purpose Patrol Dogs Highly trained dog units provide an extremely strong deterrent and are ideal for high‑risk or expansive environments. Perfect for: construction sites, vacant land, industrial estates.
6. We need 24/7 eyes on our premises, even when no one is on-site.
