We also guard vacant commercial premises with services that include remote CCTV monitoring, mobile patrol inspections and keyholding with emergency response.

Transport Security

Vienna is an important transit point for cargo vehicles heading into Eastern Europe. We offer cross-border transport security services out of Vienna, including onboard security guards, escort vehicles and lone driver remote tracking and monitoring. Protecting high-value and sensitive loads, our services combat the criminal intentions of hijackers, fuel drainers and opportunist rest stop thieves.

Retail Security

We can provide storefront retail security guards in Vienna and full security teams at shopping centres and designer outlets on the outskirts. Our tailored retail security solutions deliver the experienced and non-invasive protection that keeps shoppers comfortable. Our guards are supported by integrated services like live CCTV surveillance with rapid response, after-hours patrols, and targeted loss prevention assessments

Concierge Security Guards

Concierge security guards are licensed security officers with extra training in customer assistance and crisis management. The role suits any environment with an entrance lobby or foyer, including residential apartment blocks, financial institutions, embassies and consulates, office buildings and business or tourist hotels. Trained in emergency response procedures and first aid, they are the Swiss Army Knife of the security industry

Residential Security Services

When you need home security in Vienna and nearby towns like Klosterneuburg and Schwechat, our services include static security guards, mobile security patrols and remote CCTV monitoring with incident response. In the city or out in the countryside, in villas, remote farms and vineyards, our residential security services are available 24/7 to protect your property, privacy and possessions

Key-Holding Services

By using our secure keyholding services, your business or home keys and keycodes are safe but available for our response services to react to alarm triggers and suspicious behaviour. As your nominated keyholding service in Vienna, we can rapidly intervene if a crime is in progress during out-of-hours or when you are unavailable. We can reset false alarms, seal up breached premises and liaise with emergency services on your behalf.

Mobile Patrol Security Services

Mobile patrolling is an effective strategy to maintain a visible security presence when static guards are not an option. Mobile patrols are flexible enough to work to a schedule that you set, and can be upscaled or downgraded according to circumstances. On foot or in vehicles, they are suitable for businesses with multiple premises, remote industrial areas and housing estates. This is proactive security that doesnt bust the budget!

Security Sectors in Vienna

Guard Dog and Handler Teams

A patrolling security officer paired with a trained guard dog serves as a powerful crime deterrent. Offenders recognise that the dog’s heightened senses enable rapid threat detection and, once the dog has the scent, escape is virtually impossible. In volatile high-density crowd situations, this combination can calm tense situations and prevent conflicts from escalating.

Close Protection Bodyguards

Our close protection and bodyguard solutions offer specialist male and female security personnel licensed for close protection duties. Whether for politicians and business leaders briefly visiting Vienna or full security details for longer-term assignments, our services include secure airport pickup, VIP escorting, and public interaction management. Services are always discrete, professional and confidential.

Industrial Security

We provide professional and fully vetted security guards for factories, energy generation plants and warehouses anywhere in Vienna and the surrounding areas.

When you need trustworthy security guards to become an asset to your business, we recommend that you test our services.

    Security in Vienna

    With a crime index of 28.2 and a safety index of 71.8, Vienna ranks among Europe’s safer capital cities. Visitors should stay alert to security risks, particularly in surrounding commuter towns such as Klosterneuburg and Schwechat. (Source)

    Petty Crime: Pickpocketing and bag snatching mainly occur on metro lines U1 and U3, at stations like Praterstern and Karlsplatz. Travellers in Vienna International Airport in Schwechat, and tourist zones such as Stephansplatz and Mariahilfer Straße can also be at risk.

    Migrants and Foreign Nationals: Austria has some security challenges linked to migrants and unregistered foreign nationals, pushing crime statistics up. There are high numbers of Syrians (up 30%), Romanians, North Africans, Afghans, and Chechens in the Vienna area. Hotspots like Praterstern and Karlsplatz report higher levels of gang activity, violent crimes such as stabbings and assaults often involving asylum seekers, as well as rises in sex offences.

    Nightlife and Alcohol-Related Incidents: Vienna’s nightlife around Gürtel, Karlsplatz, Praterstern, and districts like Neubau are busy areas that draw pickpockets, scammers and occasional alcohol-fueled fighting.
