What is Concierge Security?
Concierge security is a double-edged service that seamlessly merges the vigilance of traditional security with the attentiveness of front-of-house customer service. At Optima Risk Management, this service is delivered by highly trained, SIA-licensed concierge professionals who are carefully vetted and selected not only for their security capabilities but also for their communication skills, discretion, and professional appearance.
​
All our concierge professionals hold valid Security Industry Authority (SIA) licences, ensuring they meet the legal requirements and industry standards to perform security duties in the UK. Many also possess additional qualifications such as First Aid at Work, enabling them to respond effectively to a range of incidents.
​
These operatives provide a reassuring and visible security presence through duties such as access control, CCTV monitoring, incident response, and regular site patrols. At the same time, they serve as the first point of contact for residents, staff, and visitors—offering assistance with general enquiries, managing deliveries, coordinating visitor access, and upholding the professionalism of your front-of-house environment.
​
The dual nature of this role ensures your premises are both protected and supported by a courteous, client-facing representative. By combining licensed security expertise with excellent customer service, Optima Risk Management delivers a concierge security solution that promotes safety, efficiency, and a positive user experience.
Who Needs Concierge Security?
Concierge Security is a double-edged service that offers the perfect balance between proactive protection and polished front-of-house professionalism. It is ideal for those who require more than just a static guard—those who value security with service, discretion with presence, and safety with a smile.
This service is particularly beneficial for:
​
Residential Developments and Apartment Complexes – where residents expect not only a secure environment but also a welcoming, service-oriented presence to assist with enquiries, manage visitors, and provide a reassuring front-line response.
Corporate Offices and Headquarters – requiring a professional first point of contact for staff, clients, and contractors, while ensuring access control, surveillance, and emergency readiness are actively maintained.
Hotels and Hospitality Venues – where high standards of guest service must be matched by discreet, responsive security that aligns with brand reputation and operational excellence.
Private Estates and High-Net-Worth Properties – seeking tailored, low-profile protection combined with premium service that supports lifestyle needs without compromising safety.
Public and Government Buildings – where a visible security presence is essential, but must be delivered with diplomacy, approachability, and a strong grasp of protocol and access management.
Mixed-Use and Commercial Buildings – that combine retail, office, and residential elements, and require adaptable professionals who can support a diverse set of occupants and operational needs.
