2015 Security Services Ltd is a UK security company with a London head office, incorporated in 2015 and listed on the SIA Register of Approved Contractors for Security Guarding and Key Holding. We supply licensed security guards, mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response, and specialist cover for construction, retail, events, education and empty property, across London and the UK.
More about how we workShow less
Every officer we deploy holds the SIA licence the work requires and is screened in line with BS 7858 before day one. Assignments start with a site survey and written assignment instructions, and run with supervision visits, welfare checks and clear incident reporting. Our operations line is open 24 hours a day, so short-notice requests and alarm activations reach a person, not a voicemail.
Buyers usually come to us with one of three briefs: a site that needs a visible officer, a portfolio that needs patrols and alarm response, or an event or project that needs a team for a set period. Tell us the address, the hours and what worries you, and we will put the right mix in a written proposal.

Buyer’s checklist
What to check before you hire.
The UK rules and standards behind a well-run security contract, in plain English.
Private Security Industry Act 2001
SIA licence
Contracted officers doing licensable work need the matching SIA licence: security guarding, door supervision, CCTV (public space surveillance), close protection or key holding. Ask to see licence numbers, and check them on the SIA’s public register.
Vetting before deployment
BS 7858 screening
BS 7858:2019 sets out how security staff are screened: identity, right to work, a verified five-year activity history and criminal record disclosure. It is the vetting standard buyers and insurers usually expect.
BS 10800, BS 7499, BS 7984
British Standards
BS 10800:2020 is the overarching code for providing security services. BS 7499:2020 covers static guarding, BS 7984-3:2020 mobile patrols and BS 7984-1 keyholding and response. They describe what good supervision, records and response look like.

SIA Approved Contractor
The Approved Contractor Scheme is the SIA’s voluntary quality standard for security businesses. Approval is listed against named activities. 2015 Security is approved for Security Guarding and Key Holding.
Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025
Martyn’s Law
Expected to come into force in spring 2027, with the SIA as regulator. Premises and events expecting 200 to 799 people at once fall in the standard tier, 800 or more the enhanced tier. Preparation is sensible now.
UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
CCTV and data
CCTV that captures identifiable people is personal data. Signage, a lawful basis, retention limits and secure access to footage are the owner’s responsibility, and officers should handle visitor logs and footage to the same standard.

FAQs
Security services, answered.
Are your London security guards SIA licensed?
Yes. Frontline security personnel carrying out licensable activities under a contract for services must hold the appropriate SIA licence. This applies across the UK, including London. The required licence depends on the work being performed, such as security guarding, door supervision, CCTV monitoring or key holding.
Can you provide security guards at short notice?
Short-notice deployment may be available, depending on the location, hours, duties and the number of officers required. Contact our operations team with the details of your request so we can check availability and licensing requirements.
Do you provide security services seven days a week?
Yes. Security cover can be arranged during the day, overnight, at weekends or on a 24/7 basis, depending on the site’s needs.
Can security guards manage access control?
Yes. Depending on the agreed assignment instructions, security guards can check identification, confirm appointments, issue visitor passes and maintain access records. They may also monitor staff, contractors, deliveries and vehicles entering or leaving the premises.
What types of security personnel can you provide?
These can include on-site security guards, mobile patrol officers, event security staff, key holders and door supervisors. Door supervisors require the appropriate SIA licence when guarding licensed premises, while a door supervision licence also permits the holder to perform security guarding activities.
Can your officers work with an existing facilities management team?
Yes. Our officers can work alongside property managers, facilities management providers, site teams and control room personnel. Duties and communication procedures are agreed before deployment.
Do you carry out background checks on staff?
Yes. All personnel are vetted in line with BS 7858 screening standards, with DBS checks where the assignment requires them.
Do you provide event security for one-off events?
Yes. Event security can be arranged for private, corporate and public events. The personnel and SIA licences required depend on the venue, activities, expected attendance and duties involved.
