You're in good company with SECOM

Your all-in-one retail security solution

We offer a range of security products and services as a part of your retail security system. Whether it’s target-hardening using physical barriers in front of your shop, retail CCTV security systems or an intruder alarm, we can tailor our security solutions specifically for your business.

The latest data from the British Retail Consortium shows that there are over 850 incidents a day involving abuse against staff. This figure doesn’t appear to be trending downward, and businesses are hesitant to report it to the police. In fact, only 58% of businesses that experienced crime reported it to the police in 2023, demonstrating a lack of faith that the perpetrators will be caught.

As shops are facing increasing criminal activity with police action becoming less and less of a factor in providing a deterrent, retailers are turning to active security solutions. Amid ongoing cost-of-living challenges, robust retail security systems are vital for addressing stock loss and ensuring staff abuse. Through the use of tools like AI-powered cloud CCTV solutions and secure, investigative platforms, you can keep your business safe for years to come. In combination with our security solutions, our development programmes raise awareness about the security threats faced in the world of retail, and how we can all better cope with them.

Start protecting your shop, staff and stock today so you can get back to growing your business.

What you get with SECOM’s
Retail Security System

Unintrusive security

Here at SECOM, we know how important it is for you to have a retail security system that will deter criminals without being intrusive for your customers. This means selecting the right solutions to fit the unique needs of your store, taking into account its layout, weak points and location.

CCTV security and marketing intelligence

SECOM CCTV security systems go beyond simply monitoring your stock, staff, and store. They offer valuable marketing insights, such as counting foot traffic, generating heat maps, analysing queue times, identifying customer demographics, highlighting missed sales opportunities, and much more.

Protect your shop from the effects of fire

We take the risks of fire seriously at SECOM, which is why we offer a wide range of fire-related services. From sophisticated fire detection and fire suppression, to installing emergency lighting and PAVA systems to support evacuations, we have the expertise needed to make your shop as fire-proof as possible.

Tailored to your needs

Our retail security systems are not one-size-fits-all. We understand that every shop is different, and therefore has different needs. We’ll work with you closely to assess exactly what you need so you can focus on serving customers and growing your business.

FAQs

How can a tailored shop security system benefit my business?

A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for retail security systems because each store has unique needs and vulnerabilities. By customising a shop security system for your business, SECOM ensures comprehensive protection against potential threats.

We perform a thorough assessment of your premises to eliminate blind spots and create a solution that addresses the specific risks at your location, whether it’s a single shop or multiple stores.

 Why choose SECOM for designing and installing retail security systems?

SECOM has over 60 years of experience in the security industry. As a Gold member of the National Security Inspectorate (NSI), we maintain the highest standards in retail security. Our expertise covers everything from extensive retail CCTV security systems to bespoke wireless intruder alarms.

How can retail CCTV security systems help deter criminal activity in my shop?

Retail CCTV security systems act as a powerful deterrent to potential criminals by visibly monitoring key areas of your shop. SECOM’s systems provide high-quality video footage, which can be crucial for identifying suspects and gathering evidence in case of incidents.

The presence of CCTV cameras not only discourages theft and vandalism but also helps create a safer environment for staff and customers. Our tailored solutions ensure that your CCTV coverage is strategically placed to cover all vulnerable areas.
