Who We Are
Core Guard Group delivers modern access control, biometric security, CCTV integration, and intelligent software solutions for commercial and enterprise environments. We combine hands-on security expertise with scalable technology platforms to modernise how businesses manage access, security, and operations.
Our work connects physical security infrastructure with managed support, system integration, software automation, and long-term service models.
We are not only a security installer. Core Guard Group is a technology-led security infrastructure company built around hardware, software, support, and recurring managed services.

Sentinel Access Platform
Sentinel Access is Core Guard's proprietary integration and operational management platform, built in-house to connect your physical security hardware directly to real business workflows. It automates access decisions, logs every event to a live audit trail, and gives your team centralised control across every door and site, without replacing your existing infrastructure.
Where most access control vendors stop at the hardware, Sentinel Access takes over: bridging booking systems, biometric readers, video security and managed support into a single coherent platform, built, owned and supported entirely by Core Guard Group.
