Integrated Security Delivery How SPS coordinates people, technology and operational management into one security programme — so nothing falls between the gaps of separate providers. [Discuss Your Requirements](/contact-us) [View Integrated Security Service](/services/integrated-security) SIA Approved Contractor BSIA Member SSAIB Registered ISO 9001 24/7 Control Room Integrated security delivery means coordinating [guarding](/services/security-guarding), [mobile patrols](/services/mobile-patrols), [keyholding and alarm response](/services/keyholding-alarm-response), [CCTV monitoring](/services/control-room) and [technical systems](/services/technical-security) through one management structure, one control room and one reporting platform. Rather than managing separate contracts with separate providers — each accountable only for their own element — integration gives clients a single point of responsibility where every service connects, every incident is tracked and every response is coordinated. In Practice ## How integration works on a live site The value of integrated delivery becomes clearest during an incident. Here is how the connected model works in a typical out-of-hours scenario: 1 ### CCTV detects movement A camera covering the rear perimeter triggers a motion alert. The activation is sent to the SPS control room. 2 ### Control room assesses The operator reviews the available footage, checks site instructions and determines whether the activity requires a response. 3 ### Response is dispatched The control room dispatches the nearest mobile patrol officer or contacts the on-site guarding team, depending on the contract model. 4 ### Incident is verified The attending officer checks the site, confirms what happened and secures any access points. If required, the control room contacts police. 5 ### Client is informed The nominated client contact receives an update covering what was detected, what action was taken and the current site status. 6 ### Report is completed A time-stamped incident report is logged, including CCTV evidence, officer attendance records and actions taken. 7 ### Management reviews trends The account manager reviews whether this is an isolated incident or part of a recurring pattern, and recommends any changes to patrol routes, camera positioning or response procedures. With separate providers, each step in this chain requires cross-provider communication, separate escalation procedures and disconnected reporting. Integration removes those gaps. Service Integration ## How services complement each other Each service strengthens the others when they share the same management structure, control room and reporting platform. [ ### Security Guarding Officers on site provide physical presence and access control. Their observations feed into patrol planning and incident reporting. View service ](/services/security-guarding)[ ### Mobile Patrols GPS-tracked patrol visits cover periods between guarding shifts or sites where full-time presence is not proportionate. View service ](/services/mobile-patrols)[ ### Keyholding & Alarm Response When an alarm activates, the same control room that monitors CCTV dispatches the keyholder — no cross-provider handoff. View service ](/services/keyholding-alarm-response)[ ### CCTV Monitoring Live monitoring verifies incidents before response is dispatched, reducing false callouts and improving response quality.

View service ](/services/technical-security)[ ### Vacant Property Security Inspections, patrols and alarm response coordinated for unoccupied sites through one provider with one escalation route. View service ](/services/vacant-property-security) Practical Benefits ## What integrated delivery changes for clients Fewer suppliers — one contract, one invoice, one escalation route rather than managing multiple relationships. Simpler communication — your account manager understands every element of the programme, not just one service line. Consistent reporting — attendance, incidents, patrols and system activity reported through one platform. Better incident response — the control room coordinates guarding, patrols and monitoring together rather than passing between providers. Clearer visibility — management information covers the whole programme, making it easier to identify trends and act on them. Scalable security — services can be added, adjusted or reduced through the same management structure as the site's needs change. When It Fits ## Where integrated delivery works best Integrated delivery is most useful where a site uses more than one type of security service and needs those services to work together rather than operating in isolation. Common environments include: ### Industrial & manufacturing sites Shift-pattern cover, perimeter monitoring and asset protection requiring coordinated response. ### Logistics & distribution centres Vehicle access, CCTV, guarding and out-of-hours patrol cover across large operational footprints. ### Education campuses Guarding, patrols, lockdown procedures and alarm response coordinated with safeguarding requirements. ### Retail parks & commercial estates Multi-unit management, car park patrols, CCTV and incident coordination across shared spaces. ### Public-sector facilities Compliance-led delivery for councils, NHS sites and civic buildings with multiple security needs. ### Vacant & managed property portfolios Inspections, keyholding, patrols and alarm response coordinated across multiple sites for managing agents. Right-Sizing ## When a fully integrated model may not be necessary Not every site needs a fully integrated security programme. A single service — such as [mobile patrols](/services/mobile-patrols) or [keyholding](/services/keyholding-alarm-response) — may be entirely sufficient depending on the site's risk profile, operating hours, size, occupancy and budget. SPS will always recommend the level of service that is proportionate to the actual risk rather than defaulting to the most comprehensive option. A [security review](/tools/security-review) is usually the best starting point to understand what your site genuinely needs. Where existing systems are already in place and working well, SPS can also assess whether those systems can be retained and connected into the operating model rather than replaced. Reporting ## Unified reporting across every service One of the most practical advantages of integrated delivery is that reporting covers the entire programme rather than arriving in separate formats from separate providers. Incident reports with time-stamped actions and outcomes Patrol verification through GPS tracking and attendance records Management information covering trends, patterns and recommendations Structured review meetings with your account manager Operational improvements identified through connected data Clear audit trail across guarding, patrols, monitoring and response For a detailed view of how SPS evidences service delivery, see [Client Reporting & Visibility](/how-we-operate/client-reporting). Regional Delivery ## Delivered locally across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Integrated security delivery from SPS is managed from three regional offices — [Hull](/locations/hull) (head office), [Grimsby](/locations/grimsby) and [Lincoln](/locations/lincoln) — covering East Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, North East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire and parts of Nottinghamshire. Your account manager is based locally, site visits are conducted by regional supervisors, and operational support is provided through our Hull-based 24/7 control room.

Frequently Asked Questions ## Integrated security delivery — common questions What is integrated security? Integrated security means coordinating multiple security services — such as guarding, mobile patrols, keyholding, CCTV monitoring and technical systems — under one management structure with one reporting platform and one point of accountability. The aim is to close the gaps that occur when services are delivered by separate providers. Do I need every service to benefit from integration? No. Integration can start with two or three services and expand over time. For example, a site may begin with guarding and keyholding, then add CCTV monitoring or mobile patrols as the contract develops. The management structure, reporting and escalation remain consistent regardless of how many services are in scope. Can existing systems be retained when moving to SPS? In many cases, yes. SPS Technical can assess existing CCTV, intruder alarm, access control and fire systems to determine whether they can be integrated into the SPS operating model. Where systems are compatible, they can be retained and connected to our control room and reporting platform. How are incidents managed across integrated services? Incidents are managed through our 24/7 Hull-based control room. When an alarm activates or CCTV detects activity, the control room assesses the information, coordinates the appropriate response — whether that is dispatching a mobile officer, contacting a keyholder or escalating to emergency services — and logs the outcome. The same incident record is visible to the account manager and the client. Can services expand or change over time? Yes. The integrated model is designed to be scalable. Services can be added, adjusted or reduced as the site's risk profile, operating hours or business requirements change. Your account manager reviews this regularly and recommends changes where they are justified. Who manages the contract? Every integrated contract has a named account manager based at the nearest SPS regional office. They are responsible for service performance, quality reviews, incident follow-up and client communication. They are supported by regional supervisors and the 24/7 control room. ## Ready to explore whether integrated delivery fits your site?
