Start with a risk assessment
Understand your crowd size, venue layout, VIP presence, and local regulations before you book staff. The assessment drives how many guards you need and whether armed detail is appropriate.
Staffing math
A common baseline is 1 guard per 100-150 guests for standard events, more for high-profile or VIP-heavy events. Factor in entry control, floor coverage, and a reserve team for incidents.
Access control and credentials
Plan badge tiers, VIP lanes, and a clear credential policy. Your security team should control every entrance and know the guest list protocol before doors open.
Sourcing vetted teams
Submit your event details on Vigi — date, venue city, crowd estimate, and VIP requirements. The matching engine returns verified local providers within your budget.
