Reaping the Rewards of Retail Security
Retail security weaknesses can have a significant impact on the profitability and competitiveness of retailers. Tightening up on retail security can drastically improve profit margins for businesses willing to make the initial investment.
It has been estimated that the cost of stock slippage, including that suffered as a result of criminal activity, could be as high as €42 billion in Europe alone.
Retailers can all benefit from cutting crime-related losses. Many of our clients tell us that our services pay for themselves by not just cutting losses but increasing profits too.

Retail Security Case Studies
Flash Flooding Causes a Retail Security Crisis in Valencia and Barcelona
The Situation
Southern Spain recently experienced unprecedented flash flooding that ripped through residential and commercial buildings leaving them exposed and vulnerable to theft and looting.
Titan Security Europe was approached by several of the big-brand retailers on our client list to provide emergency security guarding to secure valuable stock in their retail stores from potential looting during the catastrophe.
The requests for emergency security came in from:
- Sports Direct
- JD Sports
- Footlocker
What We Did
We dispatched guards to both Sports Direct and Footlocker in Valencia.
Originally, the clients requested only one guard per store – but due to the large size of the Sports Direct store, we suggested two guards to this client, which they accepted.
The guards reached both stores within two hours of dispatch despite major disruption on their travels due to the flooding. On reaching the sites the guards were all turned away and denied entry by the police patrolling the areas.
To rectify this, we liaised with the police and our clients the following morning. We deployed guards to the sites again, this time in company vans as proof of who they were. This time our guards gained entry to secure the sites.
We have continued to successfully guard these sites on a 24/7 basis.
What Came Next
Following our successful protection of stores in Valencia, Sports Direct approached us about their Barcelona site.
Forecasts were predicting that Barcelona might see the same type of deluge and flooding that Valencia had suffered through. As a result, opportunist gangs were already making their way through the city looking for unguarded stores
Knowing our services and trusting us, we were asked to guard the Sports Direct store in Barcelona at short notice. Our guard was deployed and at the store within thirty minutes.
We continue to provide overnight guarding in Barcelona during non-trading hours.
Retail Security in Ireland
The Spar supermarket chain maintains a strong presence right across Ireland. The retail security experts at Titan were contacted because many of the supermarkets were experiencing high levels of shoplifting that were affecting profit margins right across the chain.
After an in-depth review of shoplifting trend data, it was identified that the issue was more prolific at certain times of the day.
Titan was awarded a contract to provide retail security for Spar supermarkets in Ireland and across the UK. With a blend of security guards and technology, we were able to introduce a multi-site retail strategy that vastly reduced the levels of stock loss from across the supermarket chain

The high-end clothing store chain
A leading international high-end clothing store approached us to provide retail security for one of their stores in the UK. They were experiencing security issues and also had concerns for the safety of their staff.
We visited the site in question to carry out a security assessment and talk with the store managers to decide how many guards they would need and where to place them in order to give them the most efficient protection we could offer.
Through our observations and conversations, we advised on three guards for this particular store: one at the door, one at the back of the store on the ground floor, and one stationed on the top floor.
Our security was so successful and well-received that the chain asked us to cover more of their stores. We now cover multiple stores in the UK as well as in Ireland and several European locations, including the Netherlands and France.
For each store, we adapted our services and guards to fit their specific requirements, as some sites needed more guards than others, and each store had its approach to issues such as uniforms, with some requesting their guards in full suits, whereas others asked for them to be more casual. For each specific requirement, we made sure our guards conformed to the exact needs of the store. We now successfully maintain an ever-expanding and positive, ongoing relationship with this client.
Retail Security for Multiple Stores
We were approached by a client on behalf of a major maintenance firm that provided services for multiple stores across multiple sectors for security purposes. The client requested that guards be stationed in stores overnight when maintenance, cleaning, or window dressing was taking place overnight.
The stores ranged from major phone companies to high-end clothing stores, and we were asked to cover this wide variety with our retail security guards. At the request of the client, we have been regularly providing static guards for overnight duties, and have been able to provide guards at as little as an hour’s notice should the client need emergency cover.
The client is delighted with the service we provide, and we have developed a fantastic working relationship. We now guard sites across the UK and Europe, and we are expecting to guard even more moving forward.
Retail Security CCTV Monitoring
A UK clothing brand reached out to us over shoplifting concerns that they had after a number of incidents in one store that had led to a loss of a good deal of stock.
We offered to place our retail security guards on-site, but the client requested something a little less overt as they did not want to take a confrontational approach in the event that it might deter some potential customers.
Eventually, we settled on a CCTV monitoring solution. With the CCTV feed going to our central control room, we could provide instant alerts on a 24/7 basis an addition to referring to footage to gather evidence after a theft had occurred.
We were then able to alert the store manager to suspicious activity as well as warn if known offenders were present in the store. The store manager would then be aware and able to pass information to shop floor staff to increase vigilance.
With this, we helped the store reduce shoplifting and other security concerns.
