Securitas hf

Securitas hf is an independent Icelandic security company (founded 1979, operating under the Securitas brand as a national franchise) providing full-service physical and electronic security to both residential and commercial customers. It is a direct-to-end-customer integrator: it sells, installs, inspects and maintains intrusion, fire, access-control, video-surveillance and emergency-call systems, and provides manned guarding, patrols, cash-in-transit, event security and training. It operates its own 24/7/365 monitoring control centre (stjórnstöd) staffed by roughly 20 operators monitoring tens of thousands of alarm systems, backed by a redundant secondary control centre to ensure uptime, with about 18 response vehicles deployed nationwide for alarm response. Remote video monitoring (fjarmyndaeftirlit) is offered as part of its guarding services.
