Certas Anniversary

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.

Digitalizationas a Success Factor
Certas embraced new technologies early on. The full transition from analog to digital, the continuous development of its system architecture, and the implementation of intelligent platform solutions have made Certas a digital market leader.
With services like Digital+, Certas now offers more than traditional alarmhandling: customers benefit from enhanced services such as video verification, automated incident management, and a digital customer portal – all from asingle provider, 24/7.
