Security Alarms and Access Control
Company Introduction
IBC Security began in 2008, obtaining both Alvarás (171A/171C) in 2009. Its main goal was to create a highly professional and credible security Company providing reliable levels of deterrent and fast response to Clients within the Central Algarve.
At that time, crime and particularly residential robberies were high and response by existing security Companies was extremely poor, slow and unprofessional. Often an alarm activation resulted in a lengthy wait for the Villa Owner or Management Company, leaving the assailant the luxury of time. There were many examples of a responding security guards reframing from performing a thorough check of a property doing nothing to assure Clients of their safety. If a home owner felt threatened or scared then their only course of action was to call the local GNR but language was a potential obstacle and informing the GNR that you were scared would in many cases not justify a visit.
As a new and growing Security Company, IBC studied all these crucial areas and tasked itself with raising the level of professionalism and performance and in turn providing Clients with consistent reassurance that their Security Company was ever alert and ready to react at a moments notice.
Today, IBC Security is deemed to be one of the largest independent Security Company operating within the Golden Triangle, Almancil and Central areas of the Algarve.

K9 UNIT
IBC have made a substantial commitment towards the security of the central Algarve by incorporating a fully trained K9 Unit within its Patrol and Fast Response structure.
Used by Police and Army Units throughout Europe, Belgium Sheppard’s have been the breed of choice because of their specific qualities within the security environment.
