Physical and Technical Protection, from discreet human guarding of high status or sensitive assets to expertly designed and managed security systems, including cameras, sensors, and perimeter defences, GSA are unmatched experts in protective security.
Residential, Workplace and Sensitive areas
- Plain clothed, discreet residential guarding, both externally and, (where required) internally on the property, is available for the client to consider.
- Residential guarding times, dates and hours can be matched to the lifestyle and wishes of the client,
- Reassuringly, for when the client is not in residence, i.e. overseas, holiday, business et al, GSA can, if required, maintain a residential guarding stance in respect of the property, at hours and times as agreed with the client.
- Residential guarding options have scope, subject to client endorsement, to include a live-in guarding capability, or routine patrol and ‘check-in’ facility to the residence.
Residential and business guarding services
The security and certain safety of your home environment is precious. We recognise this and GSA is used to estate management in a security environment, be that in a city apartment or an expansive rural estate. With capability to manage security patrols and checks of residential premises discreetly and covertly, GSA has you and your home covered.
Our vetted, highly trained network of operators are drawn from specialist police and military units, providing you with discreet options, if preferred, to work covertly in pursuit of protecting your property. Alternatively, we can deter would-be criminals from targeting your property with overt ‘shows of strength’ with our precise and rigorous patrols.
Working the time and days to suit your needs, thereby reducing the impact to you and your family’s lives, our residential security team will go above and beyond to minimise vulnerabilities to your premises, and to seek ways of improving the security posture to your home.
Our residential security facilities also take account of the fact that for some clients, a home, or indeed second home, may be vacant for some considerable time. We understand this and so can provide regular external and internal ‘health-checks’ of a property, to ensure it is in good order, safe and secure and that critical functions such as water supply, heating and maintenance are in good order.
Over and above, and under strict brief from a client, GSA can provide ‘live-in’ effective daily management of a residential premises. The provision of Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA’s) are also a measure that GSA would proactively adopt and support a client in setting, in pursuit of maintaining the privacy and least-intrusion that clients seek.
Intelligence reporting and Police Liaison
GSA’s unique employee makeup puts us and you at an advantage with our reach and relationships into UK Police forces and law enforcement counterparts. This means that we have capacity to report into, and update a police force, for example when a client is away from the residence or business premises for an extended period.
For clients looking to expand business operations into a new location, GSA can prepare a critical Intelligence report regarding crime data, trends and crime reporting. Using our Intelligence experts, we will prepare a report that provides a comprehensive analysis of a location, premises or place.
Technical Protection
Sadly, in today’s world, capability exists for criminals to target an individual or organisations digital and online space. Advanced technology exists for personal and private information, intellectual property and financial data to be viewed, stolen or exploited for criminal and corporate gain. GSA’s technical support team has highly skilled operatives that can assess a clients digital, online and electronic residential footprint, search for and highlight vulnerabilities, and then provide augmented technical solutions.
GSA can also support a client with blended physical and technical measures such as access control to a residential or business premises, along with CCTV installation and monitoring. Highly specialised Technical Surveillance Counter Measure (TSCM) support is available too, to give complete and qualified reassurance of a building or residences electronic integrity. Where this is found to not be the case, our TSCM engineers can highlight the threat, then render the source inert and nullified.
Martyn’s Law
Martyn’s Law was presented to Parliament on 12 September 2024 and is currently under review.
Martyn’s Law aims to improve public safety by ensuring that venues and public spaces are better equipped to prevent and respond to terrorist attacks.
GSA have partnered with the Meetings Industry Association (MIA) in preparation for the proposed ‘Martyn’s Law’. Together we have produced a practical guide to help the events industry navigate the emerging issues associated with Martyn’s Law.
