SecurityPedia is an independent educational platform dedicated to physical security. It exists to provide clear, practical, and reliable information for those working in — or interested in — the security industry.

The site is written from the perspective of an experienced UK-based security professional with over six years in the physical security sector. That experience spans frontline operational roles, close protection and management positions, having started at entry level covering licensed venues and progressing into leadership responsibilities across different environments.

Security is often misunderstood, undervalued, or poorly explained. Despite its importance in everyday life, there is a shortage of accessible, high-quality resources that explain how physical security really works, what good practice looks like, and what the industry can offer to those who approach it professionally.

SecurityPedia was created to help close that gap. The aim is to educate, inform, and inspire by breaking down complex security concepts into clear, practical guidance. Topics range from core security principles and physical measures to roles, standards, training, and career development within the industry.

All content on SecurityPedia is written with a strong focus on professionalism, accuracy, and real-world experience. Information is presented in a neutral, non-sensational way, with an emphasis on best practice and industry standards. Where appropriate, sources and official guidance are referenced to support accuracy.
