Frequently asked questions
I provide security consulting and operate an alarm-receiving centre with remote monitoring — ATECO code 80.09.00 or private security?
Yes, 80.09.00. This code covers security consulting, alarm-receiving centres, and remote monitoring of security systems. Physical on-site guarding is a security activity — for example, unarmed guarding under 80.01.21.
I install and then remotely monitor burglar alarms and CCTV systems — is that 80.09.00 or electrical installation?
Usually 80.09.00, but with one condition: installation is included here only when it is linked to subsequent remote monitoring and support services. The ATECO description says so explicitly. If you only install with no associated monitoring service, the activity is systems installation and belongs in a different division.
I run a control room that receives alarms but dispatches others to respond on site — is that 80.09.00 or other security activities?
The alarm-receiving centre and monitoring function is 80.09.00. Physical alarm response with personnel on site is operational security — for example, patrolling under 80.01.29 or alarm response under 80.01.21. The key question is whether your service is monitoring or physical guarding.
