- PSA-LICENSED SECURITY OFFICERS
Static Security Services in Ireland - Dublin & Nationwide
Vigilant Security Services provides PSA-licensed static security services in Ireland for business sites. We also supply vetted static security guards in Dublin and across Ireland.
What Is Static Security and How Does It Protect Irish Business Premises?
Static security means keeping a guard at one site. The guard checks who comes in and logs each visitor. They also watch site boundaries and help stop trespass. Without guards, empty business sites face theft, damage, and delays. So, Vigilant offers trained static security guards for key jobs. These include gatehouse control, reception checks, perimeter patrols, and construction plant protection. Guards can also act at once when an incident occurs at an Irish business site.
For wider facilities requiring integrated security, we provide scheduled mobile patrols, emergency keyholding, specialised manned guarding, and on-site CCTV support.
