Banking and Finance
The banking and finance sector is one of the most vital and sensitive sectors of the UK economy. It deals with the financial transactions and assets of millions of customers, businesses, and institutions.
The sector also faces various threats and challenges, such as cyberattacks, fraud, robbery, vandalism, terrorism and natural disasters. Therefore, the banking sector needs security officers who can protect the physical and digital assets, personnel, and customers of the banks, and ensure the smooth and safe operation of the banking services.

How a KGS Security Guard Can Make a Difference
KGS security guards working in the banking sector perform a range of duties and responsibilities, depending on the type and size of the bank, the location and security level of the premises, and the specific security needs and policies of the bank. Some of the common roles our guards perform include:
- Patrolling the bank premises and monitoring the security systems, such as CCTV cameras, alarms, locks, and access control devices.
- Responding to any security incidents or emergencies, such as fire, burglary, assault, or suspicious activity, and contacting the relevant authorities, such as the police, fire brigade, or ambulance.
- Enforcing the bank’s security rules and procedures, such as checking the identification and authorisation of visitors, employees, and customers, and preventing unauthorised entry or access to restricted areas or information.
- Conducting security audits and inspections, such as checking the inventory and condition of the security equipment, testing the security systems, and reporting any malfunctions, defects or breaches.
- Updating and maintaining the security records and reports held in DYMENSiON, such as incident logs, daily activity reports, security risk assessments and security recommendations.
