Your Security. Our Full Responsibility.
Kastle's managed security model means our dedicated specialists design, install, monitor, and maintain every system — so your team never touches a badge reader, reviews an incident log, or calls a vendor at 3 a.m.
The Managed Advantage
What You Get When Security Is Fully Managed
24/7 Expert Monitoring
Dedicated Kastle specialists watch every camera feed, access event, and system alert around the clock from our Security Operations Centers — real people, not automated scripts.
Rapid Incident Response
When something happens, our team acts in under 60 seconds — verifying the threat, contacting the right people, and coordinating with law enforcement so you don't have to.
One Partner, Total Accountability
No finger-pointing between vendors. Kastle owns the hardware, software, monitoring, maintenance, and support — under a single monthly contract with a dedicated account team.
Security Operations Centers Built for Your Properties
Most security vendors leave monitoring to you or a generic call center. Kastle operates its own dedicated Security Operations Centers staffed exclusively by trained security professionals — not generalists. They know your properties, your floor plans, and your escalation contacts by name.
- Trained security analysts — not outsourced call center agents
- Property-specific monitoring profiles and escalation trees
- Sub-60-second incident verification and response initiation
- Law enforcement coordination with documentation ready to share
- After-action reports and quarterly security reviews
Everything Managed. Nothing Missed.
From real-time monitoring to proactive maintenance — the full managed security lifecycle handled by Kastle specialists.
24/7 Live Monitoring
Eyes on Every Property, Around the Clock — Kastle analysts monitor every access event, video feed, and system alert in real time. Suspicious behavior triggers immediate verification, not a delayed automated alert.
- Real-time access event monitoring and anomaly detection
- Live video surveillance with proactive threat assessment
- Alarm verification before notifying authorities
- 24/7/365 coverage — including holidays and weekends
Platform Integration
Managed Across Every System You Run
Kastle's managed service covers every layer of your physical security stack — access, video, visitor, and the building systems they connect to.
Access Control
Kastle monitors and maintains your access control system end-to-end — credential management, door health, and real-time event monitoring.
Video Surveillance
Every camera feed is actively monitored, not just recorded. Our analysts verify events and retain cloud-stored evidence for investigations.
Visitor Management
Visitor logs are monitored for watchlist matches and compliance anomalies — with automated alerts when something requires review.
Response Time SLAs
Contractual response time commitments with measurement and reporting. Sub-60-second incident verification, guaranteed.
Analytics & Reporting
Monthly and quarterly reports on incidents, response times, system health, and portfolio-wide security trends.
Escalation Management
Custom escalation trees per property — so the right person gets the right call at the right time, every time.
We had three security vendors and still felt like no one owned the problem. With Kastle, I have one number to call — and someone always answers it, knows my properties, and fixes it.
Customer Story
From Three Vendors to One Call
Managing security across a 47-property portfolio meant constant vendor finger-pointing and reactive problem-solving. When Lincoln Property Company moved to Kastle's fully managed model, they didn't just consolidate systems — they reclaimed hundreds of hours of staff time and reduced security incidents by over 60%.
