HRS Security Services is a safe bet. The company is helmed by former military personnel and has been operating since 2020, with a PRD-licensed staff.

Many hire the crew for their bespoke security planning approach. If you’re after services based on actual operational risks and not off-the-shelf guard deployment, they’re the right fit.

We also see no major weak points regarding scope, as they provide guards for mixed-use, residential, commercial, and industrial sites. You can even book them for concierge-style roles!

Their solutions are integrated as well, so clients get manpower, tech, and consultancy solutions under one team.

Above all, HRS is award-winning. Acquisition International (under the Global Excellence Awards) named them Singapore’s Most Trusted Security Services Provider (2025).

Just remember to book ahead. This is one busy lot.

They’re not the largest security firm here either. For those wanting a bigger outfit, the names below might suit better.

I am very happy to have engaged his security services

I engaged the services of HRS Security Services Ltd recently. Mr Hareenderpal Singh, the Managing Director was patient, helpful and professional to ensure that the event that required his security services produced the best outcome for his client. He was attentive to the specific needs of his clients. To my pleasant surprise, he was present at the event together with his team. They arrived earlier than the appointed time. I am very happy to have engaged his security services.

It was founded by former personnel from the Singapore Police Force, Singapore Armed Forces, and Singapore Civil Defence Force, which strongly influences its disciplined and compliance-focused approach.

The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified and consistently emphasizes regulatory compliance under Singapore’s PLRD standards. It has maintained Grade A audit ratings in multiple years (2017–2020), reflecting stable operational quality and adherence to industry requirements.

A key feature of Shine Security is its integration of manpower with technology-driven systems. It combines licensed security officers with AI-based command centres, remote CCTV surveillance, and robotics-supported monitoring to improve response and detection efficiency.

Its core security manpower services include trained guards for access control, patrol duties, and incident response across residential, commercial, and industrial sites. The company also offers concierge-style security, blending customer service with security presence in premium environments.

Most call Centurion Security because of their experience. No wonder, given they opened way back in 1980.

The company has earned notable recognition too. Some examples include their 2019 Security Industry Transformation Award (silver) and their Certis Outstanding Member win in 2020.

Service-wise, guarding private functions is what they’re most praised for. Nearly every interviewee found them non-disruptive but visible enough to reassure guests.

I only wish their service list would be expanded. Their solutions focus more on manpower; some picks can back you up with K9 and even polygraph solutions.

Centurion’s lack of weekend hours is another hitch. We featured companies that grind 24/7.

Fortunately, it’s easy to reach them, and the reps don’t mind answering tons of questions.

Having a BizSAFE (level 4) accreditation also works in their favour. I mean, who wants to hire a security firm without a strong Workplace Safety and Management System grade?

Reassuring and Discreet

We hired a private security team for our recent party event, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the level of professionalism, vigilance, and courtesy they brought to the occasion. From start to finish, the team was well-prepared, organized, and extremely attentive to every detail.

Their presence was both reassuring and discreet, allowing guests to feel safe without ever feeling watched or restricted. The guards were respectful, approachable, and quick to respond to any concerns, ensuring a smooth and secure environment throughout the event.

Thanks to the security team’s outstanding performance, our event was not only successful but also stress-free. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to prioritize safety without compromising the guest experience.

It’s tough to beat Securistate in terms of scope. To begin, they offer solutions staffed by elite personnel trained for maritime, land, and tech operations.

Speaking of tech, they’re quite advanced, combining AI, human oversight, and drones (including underwater ones) for proactive security. You can even hire them to develop security software and apps.

Beyond that are more niche features others don’t have. Think offerings revolving around polygraphy and vessel hardening.

The customer service end isn’t exactly glowing, though. We heard from past clients that Securistate’s workforce can be rude, and that the reps don’t reply fast enough.

Cost might also be a problem, especially for those who simply need basic security services.

I’d still say this pick is worth the splurge. Their SME 500, ISO, SSIA, and BizSAFE stamps are solid proof of that.

Being open since 2010 is also a plus in our books.

Amazing

Did a cny package…all i can say this company amazing and pay master… looking for forward to do any upcoming package again… management are top professional…..

Founded in 2005, Armour Security is the third most seasoned choice here, with a workforce composed of ex-military and police-trained pros. That’s evident from their record.

Most of their clients stick around for years, and if you ask the latter why, they’ll point to the team’s reliable crowd control. What’s more, it’s usually VIPs and corporations claiming that.

Chances are, you’ll also hear them praise Armour’s customer service. It was the same for us; the staff replied to us quickly and professionally.

The catch is you might not book them right away. You’re up against several event organisers and businessmen.

They’re not the best choice either for people or events in need of drone support. A chunk of their tech-based solutions leans toward IoT, video analytics, and CCTVs (which these home security services also install).

Now we’re not saying the company’s service portfolio is short. In fact, it covers TVRAs and private investigations, solutions a few entries don’t provide.

Definitely Recommended

Armour Security has always been my go-to agency for any security matters. I have engaged them for multiple events and their responsiveness and professionalism always shines through.

I have never had any issue with their services and they always lend a helping hand in the planning phase to make sure all our security areas are covered appropriately.

Definitely recommend their services for all your security needs.

Have Gone Above and Beyond

We have the privileged to work with Kris and his team from Armour Security for our F1 Event this year 2023. The services we engaged were CIP & Security Services.

Kris and his team have gone above and beyond all our needs and requirements, including meeting our last min requests. They were extremely attentive and sharp in spotting potential ”upheaval” and able to manage and handle issues with professionalism.

In the CIP services rendered, Kris has acceded to all our request, including the last min requirements, ensuring a smooth transition and clearance for all our VIP guests – both arrivals and departures.

We truly appreciate their utmost dedication and professionalism in both last year’s and this year’s event.

Thank you Kris, and your team, for everything!

If you only want to pay for a Grade A company, Metropolis Security System is among the top picks. The rating is the highest PLRD grants, you know.

And that’s not their only accolade. Since 1999, this team has racked up awards, like the Excellent Service Award (2023), Outstanding Security Agency of the Year (2024) and Best Security Agency (2025).

As for services, they have two main ones: manpower and tech solutions. Both are often combined (they have a centralised command centre) to support residential, commercial, and retail sites.

The downside is, not everyone seems happy with their personnel. Many have especially raised concerns about the not-so-friendly attitude of the firm’s guards.

Metropolis’ history of unreturned phone calls also hurt their customer service ratings further.

On the flip side, the chances of you getting “robbed” are low. See, clients sign outcome-based contracts, which are often more cost-effective and scalable.

Very Helpful

Have a nice experience here, trainer Sir Balasubramaniam was very helpful and made the course so easy. His knowledge is very good and explain everything in detail to us during the course.

We bewn teached how to handle fire incident and what should we do if got anythings goes wrong.
