Manned Guarding
PLRD-licensed, WSQ-trained security officers deployed with full SIOC command support and real-time digital accountability. Not just a guard at a desk — a connected, monitored, performance-tracked security professional.
What is Manned Guarding?
Every PICO deployment puts a PLRD-licensed, WSQ-accredited officer at your site — but that's where the similarity to traditional guarding ends. Our officers operate within a technology ecosystem that tracks every patrol, logs every incident, and connects them to a 24/7 command centre. NFC checkpoint verification, digital reporting, and AI analytics replace manual processes with real-time visibility. Behind every officer stands SIOC — ready to escalate or coordinate emergency response instantly.
