Edinburgh is the UK’s second-largest financial centre with a GDP per head that surpassed London’s in 2023. As Scotland’s fastest-growing city, hosting more than four million visitors every year, the city demands a security solution with a proactive approach, built to handle a concentration of high-value commercial activity.
Every officer we deploy across Edinburgh is locally based, SIA-licensed, and vetted to BS7858 standard. And our National Operations Centre coordinates all deployments in real time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
All CCTV installation and engineering work carried out by ProFM in Edinburgh is certified to NSI Gold standards, with access control and intruder alarm systems accredited at the Paxton Gold level. We provide 24/7 monitoring of every system through our NOC, with alarm activations backed by officer deployments.
Every system we design is based around your site plans and exact needs whether you’re Edinburgh based or require security services in Scotland. Whether it’s a standalone CCTV system that eliminates coverage blindspots, or visual surveillance operating alongside manned guarding in the Exchange district, or temporary solar-powered systems serving Edinburgh’s active construction pipeline, where fixed power and infrastructure isn’t available.
For those temporary requirements, our solar CCTV towers, VPOD visually verified intruder alarm systems, and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter detection all connect to our NOC via worldwide SIM, with no need for a mains supply and are ready to be deployed at short notice across Edinburgh.
Edinburgh’s events infrastructure is among the most demanding in the UK. From The Edinburgh Playhouse and Usher Hall, to the 220,000 live attendees drawn to The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle every August, event security in Edinburgh requires careful planning and preparation.
Especially considering the introduction of Martyn’s Law.
All ProFM event security guards hold a current SIA licence, and our supervisory teams receive ongoing training in crowd behaviour, conflict de-escalation, and WAVE (Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement) practices.
We deploy the correct event security measures around your risk profile, taking into account expected attendance, alcohol service areas, crowd flow, and venue type.
Every event security plan and deployment covers the full event cycle from initial risk assessment and security planning, through ticket verification, bag checks, crowd management, car park control, and post-event demobilisation.
Fully trained, SIA-licensed static security personnel for retail, corporate, financial services, and logistics premises across Edinburgh.
Scheduled and reactive mobile patrol coverage for larger sites and multi-building estates, including Edinburgh Park and the city’s commercial and logistics network along the A8 and A720.
Keyholding and alarm response, with security officers attending your premises at an average response time of 30 minutes. A cost-effective option for Edinburgh’s SMEs and independent operators.
Client-facing concierge security suited to the corporate offices of the Exchange district, Gogarburn, and Edinburgh’s wider professional services sector.
NASDU-accredited canine security services providing a high level of deterrence for construction sites, logistics yards, and industrial premises on the city’s outskirts.
FSE and NFCC compliant Waking Watch available every day, 24/7, with rapid deployment for fire safety requirements across Edinburgh’s residential and mixed-use developments.
NSI Gold-accredited CCTV systems with AI-assisted detection, designed, installed, and continuously monitored by our own team through our NOC.
Solar CCTV towers, VPOD intruder alarm systems, and ProEyez AI perimeter detection for construction sites and premises without fixed infrastructure across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Still got a Question?Yes. Our network of locally based officers across Edinburgh can mobilise quickly. Whether you have experienced an unexpected gap in cover, been let down by another provider, or have an urgent requirement from a site incident, we can respond without compromising on standards.
In most cases, we can mobilise the same day or the following morning. Where a more structured transition is required, we produce a detailed mobilisation plan agreed in advance, so there are no gaps in cover and no surprises on either side.
Our average officer-on-site response time across Edinburgh is 30 minutes. That’s supported by our locally based, professional security personnel and real-time coordination through our National Operations Centre, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For technology deployments, our NOC can also issue an immediate audio warning to your site and contact the emergency services where required.
