KK Security Launches AI-powered National Security Operations Centre in Nairobi


KK Security has announced the launch of its AI-powered National Security Operations Centre in Nairobi, Kenya.

The company says this facility is designed to enhance security operations across the country by leveraging artificial intelligence to improve surveillance, response times, and decision-making in critical situations.

Alongside this announcement, KK Security has also revealed that it is rebranding to GardaWorld Security. This rebranding follows the company’s acquisition by GardaWorld Security in 2016 and is part of a broader strategy to align its operations in Kenya with the global GardaWorld brand. With a strong presence across Africa, as well as in North America, Europe, and the Middle East, GardaWorld Security brings extensive expertise and a wealth of resources to strengthen security services in the region.

“Our brand evolution reflects the breadth of our service offering, as we continue to combine local knowledge with global strength and invest in training and technology to provide comprehensive security solutions,” said Rishi Ahluwalia, Country Director – Kenya, GardaWorld Security – Africa.

“The GardaWorld Security brand is considered a quality benchmark for the security industry worldwide, synonymous with excellence, accountability and innovation. This makes it a perfect fit for our business in Kenya, where we uphold these same best-in-class standards to create a unified security infrastructure.”

“We have built a best-in-class business by combining KK Security’s decades of national experience with GardaWorld Security’s global expertise, but we still have big ambitions for Kenya, which is a market with evolving customer needs and further growth potential. This rebranding is a natural next step as we continue to innovate and focus on delivering superior integrated services to bring differentiated value to clients in Kenya and across Africa,” added Oliver Westmacott, President and Chief Operating Officer, GardaWorld Security – International.

GardaWorld Security – Africa maintains a strong local presence, employing over 8,000  security professionals, making it one of the largest private security employers in the country.

The company says an expanded state-of-the-art NSOC and training facility in Nairobi ensures local talent remains central to operations, covering critical regions including Eldoret, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nairobi and Nakuru.
