The challange

Security gaps when people move through your site alone or after hours

In many South African workplaces, employees, contractors or visitors need to move through sites outside normal operating hours or in low-visibility areas. Without active oversight, these situations can increase safety risks and make it harder to respond quickly if something happens.
Traditional security measures may not provide continuous visibility in real time. This can leave gaps in monitoring, delay response and expose individuals and operations to unnecessary risk.

How Virtual Escort can ensure safety of your employees

The Solution

Securitas South Africa Virtual Escort provides real-time remote monitoring for individuals moving through your site. Using CCTV and the Securitas Operations Center, trained operators maintain continuous visibility and stay connected throughout the escort.
Operators monitor movement, verify conditions and remain ready to respond if a risk is detected. If needed, they can follow established procedures to escalate the situation, notify relevant contacts or coordinate a response.
This approach helps extend security coverage without requiring constant physical presence, supporting safer movement across your premises at any time of day.
