Guarding and access control

Static guarding

Our officers are carefully selected and vetted, educated to the required level, and confirmed medically and physically fit for duty. They are well equipped and easy to identify in Cardinal uniforms. We back them with technology such as guard tour systems and CCTV so they can do their job effectively.

We station officers at banks, hotels, manufacturing sites, shopping centres, hospitals, religious institutions, government offices and corporate premises.

Event security and crowd management

For social and corporate events of any size, our officers are fully trained and prepared to manage access and crowds while keeping the experience friendly for guests. Our event security team was a finalist for Event Security Team of the Year at the Security Excellence Awards in 2012 and 2013.
