Service area · Rhône (69)
Lyon accounts for most of the region's demand for private security: large-scale events, corporate headquarters, dense retail, logistics sites in eastern Lyon. We have guards based in the area, available for both planned assignments and emergency backup.
01 · Local context
Lyon hosts trade shows, festivals, corporate events and large-scale cultural events all year round. Peak periods — December especially — stretch schedules to the limit: we cover both the main security plan and last-minute backup.
The business districts concentrate demand for front-desk security: multi-tenant building lobbies, corporate headquarters, visitor screening, delivery management. A trade of its own, where presentation matters as much as vigilance.
The urban area's logistics platforms run on just-in-time flows, often around the clock. Driver checks, loading-dock surveillance, night patrols: demand here is ongoing rather than one-off.
Heavy retail density, shopping arcades, town-centre shops: preventing shrinkage and protecting sales staff remain constant needs, with sharp peaks during sales and the festive season.

Guides & advice
How many guards, at what price, with what obligations: the answers our clients in the area ask us most often.
The profession
Security guard, vigile, SSIAP, dog handler, team leader: what are the differences?
“Vigile” isn’t a job title: it’s the everyday French word for the agent de prévention et de sécurité — the licensed security guard, also called APS or…
Events
How many security guards for an event? The method for working it out
No regulation imposes a ratio along the lines of “one guard per 100 people”. The right headcount is calculated from peak attendance (not total capacit…

04 · Frequently asked questions
Response times, towns covered, responsiveness: what we're asked about this area.
Yes: central Lyon as well as the towns across Greater Lyon — Villeurbanne, Vénissieux, Bron, Saint-Priest, Décines, Vaulx-en-Velin, Caluire, Oullins — plus the rest of the department, as far as Villefranche-sur-Saône and Givors.
Just give us the exact address of the job: the security plan and the quote are built around it.
Yes. We build complete security plans, from a single post to a full team led by a team leader, with the same standard throughout: written post orders, guards holding a valid CNAPS professional licence, an incident log and a mission report.
What sets us apart on this kind of job is direct control of the plan — you deal with one contact who knows the ground and makes the decisions, not a call centre passing messages along.
Regularly, especially during the year-end peak and major trade shows, when schedules are stretched thin. We slot into the existing plan, under the authority of your team leader or ours, whichever has been agreed.
This is often the best way to try us out before handing us a full assignment.
Yes. Fitness clubs open late or around the clock, neighbourhood gyms, national franchise chains: we place guards on late nights, weekends and busy periods, with written post orders based on your in-house rules.
See our page on security guards for gyms.
