30 Years of Responsible Security – Certas Celebrates Its Anniversary

At your service since 1995: Certas AG looks back on 30 years of commitment, innovation, and trust. What began as a vision of a centralized, professional alarm receiving centre is now Switzerland’s leading company in alarm management.

From Consolidation to Digital Pioneering
The founding of Certas AG in 1995 marked a milestone for the Swiss security industry: two major providers – Cerberus AG (now part of Siemens) and Securitas AG – joined forces to operate a shared alarm receiving center in each language region across Switzerland. The goal was to ensure quality, efficiency, and long-term viability through centralization and a professional infrastructure.
Today, Certas operates state-of-the-art alarm receiving centers in Zurich, Lausanne, and Lugano – with the highest standards in technology, personnel, and processes.
