Protective services

Corporate Security

A security program should protect a company without getting in its way. We build programs that employees welcome, visitors respect and leadership can measure.

What it is

Corporate Security covers the people, premises and reputation of a business. Urban Shield staffs lobbies and campuses with professional officers, manages access and visitors, supports events and sensitive HR actions, and helps employers meet workplace violence prevention duties. Each program is written to fit the company's culture, sites and risk.

The security officer in your lobby is often the first person a client or candidate meets. We recruit and train for that reality: officers who are alert and capable, and who represent the company well. Behind them sits a program of post orders, reporting and supervision written for your sites.

Beyond daily coverage, we support the moments that carry more risk. That includes high-risk terminations, layoffs, board and shareholder meetings, product launches and periods of protest or unrest. We also help employers assess their workplaces and document the prevention plans that state law now expects.

How an engagement runs

  1. Confidential consultation

    A private conversation about who and what needs protecting, what has already happened, and what a good outcome looks like to you.

  2. Assessment

    We study the people, places, routines and exposure involved, on site and through open sources, before recommending anything.

  3. Program design

    You receive a written plan: coverage, staffing, procedures, reporting and cost, scoped to the risk that actually exists.

  4. Deployment

    Vetted, licensed personnel are briefed on your household or organization and begin coverage with a named point of contact.

  5. Review and adjust

    Risk changes. We review the program on a set schedule and after any incident, then scale it up or down to match.
