A success story

A pioneer in Switzerland and Europe.

1
1992: First full-service provider
Founded in 1992, Securitas Direct is the first provider to open up access to all-in-one solutions for private individuals and SMEs. For the first time in Europe and Switzerland, Securitas Direct, a market pioneer, offers complete turnkey security solutions as a professional partner for consulting, installation, monitoring, intervention, support and maintenance.

1998: Strategic partnership with Zurich Insurances
Shortly before the turn of the millennium, Securitas Direct and Zurich Insurance decided to enter into a strategic partnership. A well-protected home or business can avoid or significantly reduce the cost of damage in the event of an incident. While Securitas Direct offers an optimum solution in terms of prevention and immediate action in the event of an incident, the insurance company supports the customer after the event. A win-win situation for all parties, and a successful alliance that has continued for over 20 years.

2008: Video and smart solutions
In 2008, Securitas Direct launched the first camera-equipped home security system, making it much easier to contact the police. It's also the first home security system with Smart-Home functions. Another innovative feature is that video is only transmitted in the event of an alarm, using an encrypted protocol.
