Intelligence-Led Security.
Built on Real Experience.

Risk Secured Ltd is not a security company that started with a contract and built a business around it. It started with a set of values — and the technology, the methods, and the team followed from those.

About the Founder

30 years of doing it.
Not just managing it.

David Foster founded Risk Secured Ltd with a single conviction: that the security industry deserves better than warm bodies and thin reports. His background spans HM Forces, RAF Police counter-terrorism operations, BID ranger work, and over three decades of operational security experience across the West Midlands.

Risk Secured was built on the frustration of watching clients pay for security that couldn't answer a basic question: what actually happened? The results speak for themselves — read our case studies or explore our security guarding services. The answer was DOB·Live — a digital occurrence book that logs every officer action, every incident, every observation in real time, giving clients the evidenced record that a handwritten logbook never could.

The same intelligence gap that drove DOB·Live led to VCIN — the Vehicle Check Intelligence Network. A closed, national platform for SIA-licensed officers to run vehicle intelligence checks in real time on patrol. Not available to the public. Not sold to corporations. Built specifically for the kind of security work Risk Secured does.

Risk Secured is deliberately small. There are no sales teams, no account managers, no intermediaries. When you work with Risk Secured, you work directly with David and with the officers delivering your contract — from the first call to the final report.

What We Stand For

How Risk Secured
Is Different

01

No Sales Teams

Every enquiry goes directly to David Foster. No account managers, no call centres, no one taking a commission on your contract. The person who answers your call is the person responsible for your security.

02

Evidence, Not Assurance

DOB·Live means every shift produces a timestamped, evidenced record of what happened — accessible to clients in real time. Not a verbal debrief. Not a weekly summary. A permanent, exportable log of every action taken.

03

Intelligence First

VCIN gives Risk Secured officers access to vehicle threat intelligence that no other security company can provide. Every patrol is an intelligence-gathering exercise — not just a visible presence walking a route.

04

Open-Book Pricing

Risk Secured operates on open-book pricing. You know exactly what you are paying for, why, and what the margin is. No hidden markups, no administrative fees buried in an invoice, no lock-in contracts.

05

SIA Licensed — All Officers

Every Risk Secured officer carries a current SIA licence. There are no exceptions, no workarounds, and no unlicensed staff deployed under any circumstances. If a licence lapses, that officer stands down immediately.

06

Reducing Costs, Raising Standards

The Risk Secured strapline is not a marketing line — it is a measurable commitment. Intelligence-led security should cost less than uninformed security, because it deploys resource where the threat actually is.

Beyond the Day Job

Ukraine Humanitarian
Aid Mission

In 2022, David travelled to the Ukraine border as part of a humanitarian aid mission — delivering urgent medical supplies and equipment to civilians affected by the conflict. The same values that drive Risk Secured — preparation, accountability, and showing up when it matters — don't stop at the end of a shift.

"The same instinct that makes a good security officer — preparation, situational awareness, calm under pressure — is the instinct that makes a useful volunteer in a crisis. You go where you can be useful."

David Foster, MD — Ukraine humanitarian mission, 2022

The Technology That
Makes the Difference

VCIN

The Vehicle Check Intelligence Network is a closed, national intelligence platform for SIA-licensed security officers. VCIN allows Risk Secured officers to run real-time vehicle checks on patrol — identifying vehicles linked to theft, violence, county lines, and other criminal activity before an incident occurs. Not available to the public. Not available to other security companies. Built by Risk Secured for intelligence-led security.

DOB · Live

DOB·Live is Risk Secured's digital occurrence book platform. Every officer action, every incident, every observation is logged in real time with timestamps, officer notes, and photographic evidence — accessible to clients via a secure portal at any time. Reports are instantly exportable for insurers, solicitors, police, and BID boards. DOB·Live replaces the handwritten logbook that the security industry has relied on for decades — and makes every shift evidenced, auditable, and defensible.
