What Is a Security Managing Agent?

The security managing agent is a person or company appointed by the freeholder, owner, or management company of a property to manage that property. The managing agent company is contracted to maintain the property per the terms of the lease and statutory requirements. A managing agent ensures the property being managed is fully compliant with current safety regulations and warranties.

Who Needs Property Security with a Managing Agent?

Anyone looking to secure assets in commercial buildings, whether private or public, should understand their security risks and seek out security solutions. Property managers, security directors, business managers, and owners often leverage the expertise of professional security consultants to help with both on-premise risk assessments and enterprise-level security system design and consulting.

These individuals rely on the insights of high-level security consultants like APT .RED because of our proven track record and decades of experience getting projects completed on time and on budget.

The Scope of a Property Security Managing Agent

A managing agent may conduct a property risk assessment to determine the scope of threats, including theft, vandalism, and workplace violence. Assets for protection are evaluated and creative planning is carried out so that successful security solutions are developed.

Agents ensure property security by coordinating the installation and maintenance of security equipment and procedures, including alarms, designated parking, visitor management, access control, security officers, security video, and what are known as “crime prevention through environmental design” (CPTED) measures. They also ensure compliance with managing agent regulations.
