We work alongside logistics companies to assess and manage these risks. Our experienced teams can support with a wide variety of tasks and procedures. This can help to reduce internal theft and stock loss, and support safety on site.

Logistics and warehouse security FAQs
Warehouse security protects your stock, staff and site by preventing unauthorised access, theft and damage. It ensures goods stored on site remain safe and operations can run smoothly without disruption.
A secure warehouse also protects your workforce, supports health and safety standards and gives supply chain partners confidence that goods are being stored safely.
Large-scale sites, high-value stock and complex vehicle movements create a range of risks. These include:
- theft and vandalism
- unauthorised access or trespassing
- internal loss or stock discrepancies
- damage to vehicles or equipment
- risks to staff safety around heavy machinery and vehicle movements
Our officers are trained to recognise and prevent these threats, using a mix of physical presence, access control and incident reporting to keep your site safe and compliant.
Our officers protect goods by controlling access to your site, monitoring storage areas and overseeing deliveries and collections. They patrol high-risk zones, watch for suspicious behaviour and ensure stock movements follow your procedures.
This reduces the risk of theft, tampering and damage – helping you protect your inventory and fulfil customer commitments.
We provide site-based security including:
- on-site security officers and gatehouse staff
- mobile patrols within large warehouse estates
- delivery and contractor access control
- CCTV monitoring and incident reporting
Our officers help manage vehicle access, protect high-value storage zones and support your team during busy periods or shift changes.
Access control is a key part of warehouse security. Our officers:
- check staff, visitors and contractors on arrival
- verify delivery and collection drivers
- issue and manage visitor passes
- monitor entry points and secure doors
This prevents unauthorised access and protects valuable goods and equipment.
We use technology to support on-site teams and improve visibility, including:
- CCTV and access control systems
- ANPR for vehicle entrances where required
- real-time incident reporting and digital logs
Technology works alongside our officers to provide full site awareness and quick response to emerging risks.
