Checkmate — Total Protection Services Request a proposal

Services

Four divisions. One company. One contract.

Most clients come to us for guards and stay for everything else. Because every division sits inside the same legal entity, you deal with one contract, one invoice trail and one escalation path — not a chain of sub-contractors.

Division 01

Manned Guarding

Our largest division, and the one we have been running longest. Security officers, supervisors, shift in-charges and security managers, sized to the site and to the risk rather than to a standard template.

We deploy across industrial plants, corporate campuses, hospitals, hotels, warehouses, ports and residential estates.

Before anyone reaches your gate

  • Antecedent verification through the Checkmate Internal Security Department
  • Police verification and complete documentation
  • Medical fitness certification
  • Classroom and practical training at our own accredited facility
  • Site-specific training against post instructions written for your premises

Running the contract

  • Dedicated start-up team for the first 30 days of any new deployment
  • Post and site instructions designed jointly with your security head
  • Supervisory patrols and a control room reachable at any hour
  • Monthly MIS covering deployment, attendance, incidents and training
  • Periodic joint review with your team

Also within this division

  • Event security
  • Threat and vulnerability assessment
  • Investigation support for theft and loss incidents, including liaison with senior police officials

Division 02

Electronic Surveillance

Remote monitoring of more than 11,000 client sites from our command centre — continuously, and against a defined escalation matrix rather than an operator's judgement in the moment.

Inside the command centre

What we monitor

  • Video surveillance, live and on alert
  • Intrusion detection systems
  • Fire alarm systems
  • Access control events
  • Recording health — whether your cameras are actually recording, at the parameters agreed
  • System health across the integrated estate
  • Any additional device or sensor you wish to bring in

Particularly suited to

  • Bank branches and ATM networks
  • Unmanned installations and remote sites
  • Warehouses and logistics facilities
  • Sites where continuous manned presence is not commercially sensible
  • Multi-location estates needing one consolidated view

Division 03

Systems Integration

We design and install the systems our command centre is capable of monitoring — which means they are specified to be monitored, not merely to be installed.

We work with major global equipment brands rather than tying clients to a single manufacturer.

What we deliver

  • IP video surveillance
  • Access control — RFID, smart card and biometric credentials
  • Attendance management integrated with access control
  • Fire detection systems
  • Public address systems
  • Water leak detection and associated low-voltage systems
  • RAID-configured storage and backup for recorded footage

How we work

  • Site survey and system design
  • Supply, installation and commissioning
  • Handover, documentation and training
  • Annual maintenance

Scale we have handled

  • 873 surveillance cameras at a single site, on a hybrid optical fibre network
  • 82 access-controlled doors at a single site

Division 04

Facility Management

Housekeeping and soft services, run to the same standards and under the same statutory framework as our security contracts.

Why clients combine the two

If you would rather not manage two vendors, two sets of compliance documentation and two escalation routes across the same premises, this division exists to remove that duplication.

  • One principal-employer compliance file instead of two
  • One point of escalation across security and soft services
  • Shared supervisory structure on site
  • A single monthly MIS covering both contracts

Taking over a site

Our standard transition runs 30 days.

Whether you are appointing a security contractor for the first time or replacing an incumbent, this is the sequence we follow.

01

Start-up team

A dedicated contract start-up team is assigned before any deployment begins.

02

Post instructions

Post and site instructions are designed and documented with your security head.

03

Screening

Personnel are screened, verified and cleared against the agreed profile.

04

Site training

Cleared personnel receive site-specific training against your written instructions.

05

Deployment

Deployment, continuous liaison with your team and scheduled periodic review.

Tell us what you need to protect.

Whether it is a single site or a national deployment, we will put a written proposal in front of you within five working days.
