Reception & Building Security Services

Create a professional and secure first impression with our trusted reception and front-of-house building security services tailored to your organisation.

Professional Front-of-House Protection

Your reception area is more than just a welcome desk—it’s the first line of defence for your business. A visible and capable security presence helps prevent unauthorised access while reinforcing your commitment to safety and professionalism.

At Cardinal Security, our officers are handpicked for their communication skills, presentation, and alertness. Whether stationed in a corporate office, public building, or shared workspace, they manage access control, monitor CCTV, and support your front-of-house operations with discretion and confidence.

We integrate seamlessly with your team to represent your brand and keep your premises secure.

Tailored Building Security for Every Setting

Every building has unique access points, visitor flow, and security risks. Our building security services are designed to meet your site-specific needs—whether you manage a multi-storey office, medical facility, educational institution, or residential complex.

Our trained personnel conduct routine patrols, check credentials, manage visitor logs, and enforce site policies. We can also provide keyholding, emergency response, and alarm monitoring to maintain around-the-clock protection.

All officers are SIA-licensed and trained in customer service, ensuring they remain approachable while staying alert to threats and disruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of buildings do you provide reception security for?

We cover a wide range of sites including corporate offices, government buildings, apartment blocks, student accommodation, and private facilities. Our officers are trained to adapt their approach based on your organisation’s environment and visitor expectations.

Are your reception officers trained in customer service?

Yes. All our front-of-house staff undergo customer service training alongside their security qualifications. They are expected to remain courteous, professional, and helpful to both employees and visitors while ensuring all security protocols are enforced.

Can your staff monitor CCTV and access systems?

Absolutely. Our reception officers can oversee on-site CCTV, visitor management systems, and access control technology. This allows them to monitor suspicious activity, respond to alerts, and manage who enters the premises—all from the front desk.

How do you handle unauthorised access attempts?

Our officers are trained in conflict resolution and de-escalation. If an individual tries to access a restricted area, they will be challenged respectfully but firmly. If required, the officer will follow escalation procedures or liaise with emergency services.

Can reception security be combined with other services?

Yes. We can combine reception security with building patrols, keyholding, alarm response, and CCTV monitoring for a comprehensive solution. We work closely with your internal teams to integrate our presence smoothly into your daily operations.
