Businesses across Portsmouth face real security pressures, and a slow response can cost more than money. Region Security Guarding is the security company Portsmouth firms call when they need guards on-site fast and cover that never drops. We work across retail units, offices, warehouses, and construction sites throughout the city. Every guard checks in through our REMS tracking system, so you always know your site is covered. No guesswork, no gaps, just guards who show up and do the job properly.

Portsmouth isn’t a quiet city when it comes to crime. Recent figures put the overall crime rate at around 99 offences per 1,000 people, well above the average for Hampshire as a whole. That gap sits at roughly 57%, which is significant for any business owner weighing up risk. Violence and public order offences make up the bulk of reported crime, but shoplifting has become a particular problem too. One recent month saw Portsmouth record the worst retail theft figures anywhere in Hampshire.
None of this is meant to alarm you. It’s meant to explain why so many businesses around Commercial Road, Gunwharf Quays, and the Trade Park estate have already brought in professional guarding. Empty units get targeted. Stockrooms get raided. Vehicles left on-site overnight are an easy mark for opportunists.
Here’s what we see most often, and what we stop:
A security company Portsmouth businesses can trust doesn’t just react to these problems. It gets ahead of them. That’s the difference our guards make on the ground, every shift.
Anyone can promise good security. Fewer companies can back it up with actual certification. Here’s what stands behind our name:
Licensed officers protect businesses with professionalism.
Certified processes ensure consistent service quality.
Recognised safety standards support compliant operations.
Every business faces unique security challenges. As a trusted security company in Portsmouth, we provide tailored security services that protect your people, premises, and assets. Whether you need a permanent on-site presence or specialist support, our experienced teams deliver reliable protection built around your operational requirements.
Maintain a visible security presence with dedicated officers protecting your site, deterring crime, and responding quickly to security incidents.

Our NASDU Associate Member dog handlers provide enhanced security for large, high-risk, and vulnerable sites through highly effective K9 patrols.
Professional SIA-licensed security officers patrol your premises, manage access, monitor activity, and provide rapid incident response whenever required.
Hiring a guard should mean more than a uniform standing near the entrance. Here’s the actual work our teams carry out across Portsmouth sites:
If your usual guard is off sick, we send a vetted replacement rather than leaving the shift uncovered. That single point matters more than most clients realise until the day it happens. Fewer incidents also tend to mean fewer insurance headaches down the line.
Every sector carries its own version of risk. We build our approach around what your business actually faces, not a generic checklist.
Tools and plant machinery disappear fast from unguarded sites. We control access and keep a visible presence that discourages opportunists before they try anything.
Loading bays and stockrooms are where losses usually happen. Our guards manage access points so goods move safely and nothing walks out the back door.
Busy shop floors need guards who can spot trouble before it becomes a loss. We focus on visible presence and quick intervention.
Empty buildings attract vandalism and squatting faster than most owners expect. Our Constructionline Silver pre-qualified teams run mobile patrols and keep unauthorised visitors out.
Residents want to feel safe without feeling watched. We strike that balance, controlling access while keeping the atmosphere welcoming.
Crowds bring their own risks, from overcrowding to confrontations. Our guards manage flow and step in early, keeping things calm rather than reactive.
Choosing a security provider isn’t just about finding available guards. It’s about working with a team that understands your business, responds when you need support, and delivers a consistent standard of protection every day. That’s why businesses across Portsmouth continue to trust our experienced security professionals.
Experience matters when protecting people, property and business operations. With more than 11 years in the security industry, we’ve worked with organisations across multiple sectors, giving us the knowledge to respond to real-world risks with confidence and professionalism.
Every business operates differently, which is why our officers receive site-specific training before deployment. Rather than following a generic approach, they learn your procedures, security priorities and day-to-day operations to become an effective part of your team from day one.
Security requirements can change without warning. Whether you need emergency cover, additional officers or rapid support following an incident, our operations team responds quickly to help keep your business protected and operating safely.
Our teams operate across the city and its surrounding neighbourhoods, including:
Not every site faces the same threat, so the right cover isn’t always the obvious one. Here’s a quick guide:

| Retail Store | Shoplifting | Retail Security |
