AYOBI GROUP refers to years of experience and provides all physical security installations to house its security personnel and ensure proper control and operation by means of e.g. entry/ road-control-points, fencing, night-site illumination, watch towers and operation centers. Uniform clothing, inventory- and staff- management systems and individualized ID-cards ensure sustainable control and are reliable tools in the hands of the AYOBI GROUP security authorities to minimize a threat of theft or insider attacks. Embedded police force and/ or private security companies prevent unauthorized access to the site, monitor incoming vehicles, and safeguard the site in order to prevent catastrophic impacts on assets, installations and staff. Focus also lies on safeguarding convoys and goods on their way to the site.
