CERTEGO Expands: The Future of Security with K2 and Scanview

12/6/24 11:32 AM

In the spring of 2024, CERTEGO took a significant step forward with the acquisition of two leading security companies: K2 Security Services in Finland and Scanview in Denmark. 

These additions, along with a strategic partnership with Germany's Dallmeier, strengthen CERTEGO's position as an innovative player in the security industry and pave the way for a more comprehensive and proactive service portfolio.

A Complete Security Solution

CERTEGO has long been known for its comprehensive security solutions. With the new acquisitions, the company can now offer complete management of technical security solutions supported by internal experts. This means that customers can maximize the value of their system investments through seamless collaboration. “Whether it’s building security systems or personal alarms, we handle everything from needs assessment and design to installation, service, and follow-up. At the same time, the customer retains full control,” says Jonas Granath, CEO of CERTEGO Group.

K2 Security: Remote Monitoring and Proactive Security

K2 Security Services brings unique expertise in remote monitoring and property management. Through advanced alarm center operations, alarms can be analyzed and managed remotely, minimizing the need for on-site visits and saving both time and money for customers. “Our goal is to eliminate unnecessary call-outs and thereby reduce costs for our customers. At best, one can save hundreds or even thousands of euros per month,” says Jani Saarvo, Service Director at K2 and Sales Director in Finland.

This marks a shift from a traditionally reactive monitoring service, where incidents are investigated after the fact, to a more active and preventive monitoring model. “Detecting potential issues, such as a temperature rise before smoke is visible, can prevent damage and major costs. It is always more cost-effective to prevent than to react,” adds Saarvo.

Scanview: The Master of Video Technology

At the same time, Scanview offers extensive expertise in video surveillance and advanced CCTV solutions. Their concepts for parking and traffic complement CERTEGO’s existing services and contribute to the development of new, dynamic security solutions. By combining Scanview’s technological prowess with CERTEGO’s longstanding security expertise, customers can benefit from a holistic approach that unites best practices in the design, operation, and maintenance of security systems.

CERTEGO believes in supporting their customers with security services that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate tomorrow’s challenges. This is achieved by listening to both security experts and customers. “Utilizing property automation in security monitoring opens doors to new possibilities that we may not even be able to imagine yet,” says Saarvo. He emphasizes that the most innovative solutions emerge when industry expertise meets customer insights.

A Shared Goal: A Secure Future

Collaboration and transparency are guiding principles for CERTEGO.

“To succeed, it’s about creating functional structures and a shared view of the security landscape, with room for continuous development. The ambition is not only to offer services locally but to scale up to Nordic, European, and global levels,” says Jonas Granath.

With the expanded capacity that K2 and Scanview bring, CERTEGO is taking security to new heights. This is an investment that not only strengthens the company but also creates safer environments for people and businesses worldwide.
