Some companies that are based in office blocks choose to have a permanent security presence in their blocks. This often depends on the office environment and where it is based, as well as on the levels of security required depending on the industry. For example, a bank or a financial services company will often want to have a more active security presence because the nature of the business is more sensitive.

This is just one aspect of office security of course. Businesses also choose to have a more active security presence because they have a duty of care to their staff. A security guard, metal detectors and other security checks and procedures can all contribute towards a safer working environment where staff can come into work knowing they will be well protected. The levels of security chosen by each business can be adapted over time as situations change and adjust.
