Frequently asked questions

When is it worth looking at security pricing in more detail?

When you compare several offers, change suppliers, or the service scope involves multiple shifts, entrances, locations or higher-risk operations.

Why is comparing the hourly rate alone not enough?

An hourly rate does not say whether the offer includes surcharges, cover staffing, service management, equipment, reporting and supplier responsibility.
