Overview

Bank security services for banks & insurance

Banks, insurers and financial services firms operate under specific pressure: BaFin supervision, MaRisk requirements, DORA for operational resilience and German anti-money-laundering law set strict requirements for security and contingency concepts. Branches, administrative sites and data centres need tiered protection concepts: reception and visitor management at the front office, protected zones for advisory and vault areas, high-security zones for data centres and cash logistics.

Sekuris staffs reception teams with commercial service training, security officers for sensitive advisory areas and specialists for data centres with BSI background checks. We work hand in hand with our clients' compliance, IT security and works security teams and document every security interaction in audit-ready form.

Risks we address

Typical risks in banks & insurance

  1. 01

    Robbery and threats at branches

    Branch robberies are rare but existential for staff and customers. Reception staff with de-escalation training, clear emergency protocols and connection to police response centres protect employees and reduce damage.

  2. 02

    Social engineering and unauthorised access

    Administrative sites are targets for social engineering: pretend tradespeople, couriers or auditors. Structured visitor registration, photo-ID verification and escort services in sensitive areas prevent unauthorised access.

  3. 03

    Threats to banking data centres

    Data centres are critical infrastructure — physical protection is a prerequisite for DORA compliance. BSI-compliant background checks for staff, two-factor access control and 24/7 patrols are standard.

  4. 04

    Compliance gaps in MaRisk / BaFin audits

    BaFin oversight regularly examines security and contingency concepts. Without structured documentation of security service, audit findings emerge — Sekuris delivers audit-ready reports from the dashboard.

Regulation

Regulatory framework

Banks and insurers operate under a dense regulatory web: BaFin supervision, MaRisk (BAIT/VAIT), the DORA regulation, anti-money-laundering law and KRITIS regulation for systemically relevant banks. Security concepts must be documented, regularly tested and held in audit-ready form.

  • BaFin supervision and MaRisk (BAIT/VAIT) as oversight framework
  • DORA regulation for operational resilience in the financial sector
  • BSI Act and KRITIS Regulation for systemically relevant banks
  • Anti-money-laundering law with verification and recording duties
  • §34a GewO and Guarding Regulation as personnel basis

FAQ

Are your reception staff suitable for bank branches?
Yes — we train branch reception staff additionally in de-escalation, emergency protocols and commercial service etiquette. Industry-specific onboarding (data protection, AML awareness) is standard.
How do you support DORA compliance?
We deliver the physical component of operational resilience: documented security service, regular emergency drills, audit-ready reports and interfaces to IT security and crisis management. DORA compliance remains the client's responsibility — we deliver the building blocks.
Do you also cover cash-in-transit and cash logistics?
Cash-in-transit (cash and valuables service under §1 BewachV) is a specialised field — we partner with certified providers (Loomis, Brink's, Prosegur) and handle the interface security (cash receipt at the branch, vault escort) ourselves.
How quickly can a crisis team be activated?
In a threat escalation or security incident we deploy additional qualified staff within 60–90 minutes and coordinate with police, compliance and IT security. A pre-agreed contingency concept is the prerequisite.
