  Briefing, Supervision & Real-Time Coordination Throughout the Event

  An effective security operation relies on continuous, rigorous coordination. Our supervisors maintain real-time communication with on-site agents, event leadership, and key stakeholders to anticipate changes or respond to any unexpected situation.

  From arrival on site, each agent receives their equipment (Kenwood radio, uniform, briefing instructions), then participates in a detailed operational briefing. A clear communication chain is maintained throughout the event — all the way to the final debrief.

  • Experienced supervisors on-site throughout the event
  • Uniform distribution, radio setup, zone assignments
  • Ongoing communication with organizers and clients

  Access Control, Screening & Crowd Flow Management

  Entrance screening is a strategic step in ensuring event safety. Our agents make sure that only valid ticket holders, accredited guests, or authorized personnel gain access to the venue — always with respect for participants' rights and dignity.

  • ID checks, visual inspections, and handheld screening
  • Female agents available for mixed or sensitive zones
  • Prevention of risky situations and minor incidents

  24/7 Surveillance of Equipment & Sensitive Areas

  Throughout the event, our agents provide active and mobile surveillance of critical infrastructure: stages, technical equipment, dressing rooms, storage areas, backstage zones, service entrances, and VIP sections. Their role is to prevent theft, sabotage, intrusion, or accidents.

  With our tracking tools and geolocation systems, we ensure full traceability of patrols and interventions. Human presence is reinforced by technology where necessary (cameras, monitoring apps, fixed security posts).

  • Regular patrols across high-risk and sensitive zones
  • Overnight monitoring of stages and structures after shows
  • Proactive prevention of technical issues or unauthorized access

  Close Protection for Artists & VIP Guests

  Certain events host artists, public figures, influencers, or dignitaries who require discreet yet effective individual protection. Our close protection agents are trained to escort high-profile individuals, manage public interactions, and secure backstage or private areas.

  Custom Security Setups Based on Venue & Risk Profile

  Every venue comes with its own challenges — multiple access points, open layouts, risk zones, technical infrastructure. That’s why we design custom-tailored security setups based on a thorough analysis of the site, the expected crowd, and the event type.

  We implement barricades, access checkpoints, mobile patrols, and fixed posts, and when needed, more advanced tools like tech-based access control, detectors, or temporary video surveillance. Our goal is to adapt security measures without disrupting the flow or the guest experience.

  • Perimeter planning well ahead of the event
  • Implementation of checkpoints and buffer zones
  • Dedicated agents for sensitive or restricted areas
