Guarding & Site Security

Event Security

Access control, coordination and stewarding for conferences, corporate events and shoots.

Confidential · no sensitive detail required · We work in English and French

What this covers

The scope, stated without ambiguity.

  1. Perimeter and access control

    Where the event begins, who has the right to enter, and how that is checked without creating a thirty-minute queue.

  2. Flow and zone management

    Entrances, exits, backstage, VIP areas: flows are drawn before the event, not during it.

  3. Coordination with venue and production

    Site security, production, contractors: several teams, one set of instructions.

  4. Followed through the assignment

    A coordinator present from build to derig, and an end-of-event report.

What we do not do

We do not take on fire safety or the venue's own licensing compliance, which sit with the operator. We hold the access points, the flows and the perimeter.

A specific requirement to cover?

Describe the context and a coordinator will come back to you with a suitable arrangement.

How it works

Four stages, from the first call to the end of the assignment.

  1. A call back, not another form

    A coordinator calls you to understand the need. At this stage we need no names, no addresses and no exact schedules.

    What you receive

    • Territory and approximate period
    • Nature of the request
    • One reachable contact
  2. A shared picture of the ground

    A detailed conversation with you, then reconnaissance on site. We check what is actually there, not what a plan says.

    What you receive

    • Venue and access reconnaissance
    • Flows and zones mapped
    • Confirmed capacity and programme
  3. A document, not a promise

    The written arrangement sets out who does what, where and when. You can read it, challenge it and have it approved internally.

    What you receive

    • Access control plan
    • Allocation of posts and zones
    • Hours, contacts and a clear price
  4. One point of contact, start to finish

    Everyone is briefed before deployment, then the same coordinator follows the assignment through.

    What you receive

    • Briefing before deployment
    • Coordinator reachable throughout
    • End-of-assignment report

Typical situations

Three contexts where this service applies.

  • A corporate conference

    An expected audience, identified guests, a timed programme. Access control has to be quick and real.

  • A private event

    A closed list in an open venue: the point is holding a perimeter without turning the evening into a checkpoint.

  • A shoot or production

    Valuable equipment, long hours and multiple access points across several days.

Illustrative scenarios — not client references, and no outcomes claimed.

Regulatory framework

UPP designs, sizes and coordinates every security arrangement — from initial scoping to assignment follow-up. Regulated work is carried out by providers authorised in each territory.

Where we operate

This service is coordinated across the following territories. Each city has its own page, describing what the place demands of this service.

Frequently asked

Four questions that come up.

How many officers are needed?

That follows from the venue, the expected audience and the number of access points to hold — not from a ratio. The written arrangement states the composition and why.

Do you manage guest lists?

Checking at the access point, yes. Building and maintaining the list stays with you or your production.

What if the event changes format?

The written arrangement is revised. A change of capacity or venue goes through the coordinator before the event, not on the day.

Do you cover the build?

Yes, if it is scoped. Equipment usually arrives before the audience, and that is often the most exposed moment.
