Why Choose Us
Cardinal Security provides dependable Security Services built around real risks, real sites, and real people.
SIA Licensed Teams
Every officer is SIA licensed, trained, and properly vetted. More than that, they know how to stay calm, stay alert, and deal with situations before they grow into problems.
Tailored Security Plans
We look at how your location works day to day, where the risks sit, and when cover matters most. Then we build a security plan that fits, without overcomplicating it.
Fast Response & Support
With teams based across the UK, we react fast when needed. One account manager handles everything, so you’re not chasing updates or repeating yourself.
Static Guarding
Static guarding means a trained officer posted at your site for visible, steady deterrence. Officers are SIA-licensed and briefed on your site rules. We work from a fresh risk assessment and create shift rosters to match high demand.
On-site security officers stay in place, monitor access points and log incidents as they happen. You’ll see fewer thefts and clearer control of visitors. Static posts are common on construction projects, retail premises and temporary sites where presence prevents problems and shows compliance.
Clients get rapid reporting, documented patrol logs and a calmer workforce. Our approach blends human judgement with radios, checklists and clear escalation plans.

Manned Guarding
Manned guarding gives flexible on-site security teams who patrol, control access and assist visitors. Officers receive training in conflict handling, first aid and emergency evacuation. Teams operate with CCTV and access control to cover blind spots and improve site security.
We begin with a site risk assessment, then tailor shift rotas to match busy hours and events. For corporate offices, retail sites and public events, this service scales up or down quickly. The clear benefits are active deterrence, swift incident handling, incident logs and compliance.
Our officers provide a human presence that calms staff, reduces theft and resolves issues before they escalate. We are SIA-licensed and review services often.

Security Dog Handlers
Security dog handlers work with trained dogs and licensed officers to search areas quickly and deter intruders. Teams carry out perimeter sweeps, planned searches and targeted scent work where detection matters.
Each handler follows strict welfare and safety protocols and links to on-site incident plans. We use dog teams alongside static posts or mobile patrols to add extra capability. Common for warehouses, night-time shifts and event perimeters, dog units raise the bar against trespass and theft.
Handlers coordinate with site managers and police when needed. Dogs are trained for detection and controlled deterrence, improving overall risk posture. Clients receive faster area searches and coordinated incident support.

Gatehouse Security
Gatehouse security manages site entrances with visitor checks, vehicle logs and access control to stop unauthorised access. Staff use ID checks, badge systems and pre-registration for deliveries while following bespoke site rules.
We design gatehouse schedules to match daily peaks and contractor shifts. Gatehouses suit distribution centres, campuses and manufacturing plants where access control is vital. Along with managing entry, teams check contractors, carry out basic safety checks, and complete daily handovers to lower risk.
Gatehouse teams also support visitor management software and basic health and safety checks. The outcome is fewer tailgating incidents, clearer record keeping, faster incident tracing and evidence that satisfies auditors and insurers.

CCTV Monitoring
CCTV monitoring connects live camera feeds to trained operators who watch for threats and trigger responses. Operators follow strict verification steps and data protection rules to handle footage correctly.
We integrate analytics to highlight motion, loitering and unusual behaviours, cutting down false alarms and speeding real detections. Monitored systems work well in car parks, retail centres and perimeters where constant eyes spot trouble sooner.
When a camera flags an issue, we verify, dispatch an officer or notify the client according to set protocols. Monitored CCTV gives evidence and early alerts. Our monitoring can link with patrol dispatch and keyholding for a single, joined-up response.

Keyholding and Alarm Response
Keyholding and alarm response pairs secure key storage with trained staff who attend alarms, verify incidents and secure properties. Our teams keep detailed call-out logs, follow chain-of-custody rules and liaise with police when needed.
We test routes and run key audits to reduce false activations and ensure fast arrival. This service fits shops, offices and vacant buildings that require a compliant response. Clients benefit from lower damage risk, quicker resolutions and documented visits that insurers accept.
We offer clear service-level agreements and paperwork to help speed insurance claims. It’s a straightforward way to get a trusted alarm response without maintaining on-site staff.

Mobile Patrols
Mobile patrols use marked vehicles and trained officers to cover large areas. Patrols can be planned or random, based on risk. Officers check fences, gates, lights and locks during each visit. They also respond to alarms or provide support to on-site guards when needed.
Routes are set in advance, and every visit is logged for records. This service works well for estates, multi-site businesses and remote locations. Patrols move between sites, creating a strong visible presence. Radios and checklists help officers act fast and stay organised. As part of our Security Services UK, clients get flexible cover and a quick response.

Guard Tracking
Guard tracking uses GPS, digital check-ins and checkpoint scans so supervisors can verify patrols in real time and review audit trails later. Guards upload photos, notes and timestamps from handheld devices to prove presence.
Supervisors watch live dashboards to spot missed rounds and redeploy teams where needed. This tech is common on campuses, housing estates and commercial sites needing proof of presence for insurers or audits.
The system reduces missed checks, improves scheduling and creates evidence for compliance reviews. Guard tracking increases accountability, reduces attendance disputes, and gives managers a clear record of every patrol.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your guards licensed?
