We hold full ACS status under reference DESESOSC02, independently assessed across 78 areas of business performance by the Security Industry Authority. This is not a membership or a self-declared standard — it is a formal quality assessment that relatively few UK security companies pass. You can check our status on the SIA register whenever you wish.
Almost all of our clients choose to stay with us. That is not something we achieved through aggressive account management — it is the result of officers who show up properly, operations that run without drama and account managers who actually respond when something needs sorting. We think that is the least a client should expect, and we work hard to make sure they get it.
Every officer we deploy has been screened under BS 7858 before they arrive on your site. That covers five years of employment history, criminal record checks, financial background and personal references. There are no shortcuts in our recruitment process because the people we put in front of your clients and staff are a direct reflection of us.
Our operations team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. If something needs dealing with at two in the morning, there will be someone at Defence Security Solutions to pick up the phone.
We have been operating since 2015, which means we have spent twelve years learning what works, what does not and what clients actually need from a security company in London. That experience runs through every contract we manage, from a single static post to a large-scale multi-site operation.
Every client has a named account manager who knows their sites, their preferences and their expectations. You will not be handed between departments or left waiting for a callback — your account manager is your consistent point of contact throughout the contract.
With more than 900 trained, SIA-licensed officers across our operations, we have the capacity to respond to requirements of any size — a single post, a team deployment or a rapid response to an urgent request. Scale has never been a problem for us.
The Protect Duty — known as Martyn’s Law — will place new legal obligations on venues and events across the UK to have protective security measures in place. Our team is ready to help clients understand what those obligations mean in practice and how to meet them without overcomplicating things.
Yes. Every officer we place holds a current, valid SIA front-line licence covering their specific role — whether that is security guarding, door supervision, close protection, public space surveillance or cash and valuables in transit. Under the Private Security Industry Act 2001, carrying out licensable security work without a valid licence is a criminal offence. All of our staff are also vetted under BS 7858 before they are placed with any client.
The SIA Approved Contractor Scheme is a quality assurance programme run by the Security Industry Authority, which is the statutory regulator for the private security industry in the UK. Companies that hold this status have been independently assessed across 78 areas of business performance, including staff training, vetting procedures, financial management and operational standards. It is one of the more rigorous quality marks available to a UK security company. Defence Security Solutions holds ACS status under reference DESESOSC02, which is verifiable on the SIA public register.
We cover all of Greater London, including all 32 boroughs and the City of London, across Central, North, South, East and West London. We also operate throughout the Home Counties and can support clients with security needs across the wider UK. If you are looking for security in a specific borough or location, get in touch and we will confirm what we can do.
The cost depends on the type of cover needed, the hours involved, the nature of the site and the experience level required. As a general guide, static security guarding in London tends to fall in the range of seventeen to twenty-five pounds per hour. We offer free quotes to all prospective clients, so the most reliable way to get a figure is to get in touch and tell us what you are looking for.
Our operations team is available around the clock, so we can respond to urgent requests at any hour. For immediate requirements we will work as fast as we can to get licensed personnel to your site. For planned contracts, we prefer to visit the site first so that officers can be properly briefed and the right measures put in place before work begins.
We offer manned security guarding, door supervision, close protection, event security and stewarding, public space surveillance, key holding and alarm response, cash and valuables in transit, security dog handler services and vehicle immobilisation. Every service is carried out by fully licensed and vetted personnel.
