Businesses that operate in the corporate sector also require security to ensure the protection of their corporate premises. Therefore, a corporate security officer is one who is specifically trained to provide his services to corporate clients. This is their specialisation.
They are well aware of their task which is the provision of protection and security of people, valuables and important information within the corporate set up. A corporate officer is uniquely trained to cater the security needs of corporations and so they are not like your common security guard.

The working of labour force and technology together, assures the provision of best quality security and protection.
Technological advancement is experienced all over the world. In all industries and sectors. The security sector is also not left out. The usage of CCTV monitors and cameras, electric gates, turnstiles, alarm systems, sensors, smoke alarms, control panels and intercoms are some modern security gadgets used almost everywhere.
The corporate security officers who manage security and privacy with technology are:
- Security guards: They are responsible for the safety and protection of corporate premises, employees and assets in their best capacity with the usage of turnstiles and sensors. They are supposed to keep a check on everyone entering and exiting the corporation through several identification checks by the use of identification machinery, thumbprints or face ids.
- CCTV operators: They are the security officers concerned with the operation of CCTV cameras and CCTV monitors. With their duty of monitoring CCTV cameras they should also know how to operate and use CCTV equipment and monitors. They are supposed to keep a check and balance of all the past and present CCTV footage.
