Stalwart Security alarm systems for business

Security alarm systems for businesses

Fire and security compliance for Irish businesses 

All commercial premises must comply with the Fire Services Act 1981 and 2003, which places a duty on the person in control of a premises to ensure the safety of everyone on site in the event of a fire. Part B of the Building Regulations goes further, requiring adequate fire detection, alarm systems, and safe exit routes, with all systems designed, installed, and maintained to IS 3218:2013. 

Security is just as much a compliance issue as it is a practical one. According to ISME’s most recent Business Crime Survey, over a third of Irish SMEs experienced crime in the past year, and among those affected, more than a quarter reported increased security costs and almost one in four faced higher insurance premiums as a direct result. CCTV and alarm systems remain the most widely used response, which reflects a simple reality: businesses that invest properly in security tend to spend less picking up the pieces afterwards. 

In multi-tenant or shared commercial buildings, responsibility is often split. Landlords or managing agents are typically responsible for fire safety in common areas such as stairwells, corridors, and shared alarm systems, while individual tenants remain responsible for fire safety within their own leased space. Getting this coordination right matters, since a gap in either party’s arrangements can leave the whole building exposed. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 adds a separate duty on employers to identify hazards, assess risk, and keep a written fire safety record. 

Non-compliance can result in prosecution, closure orders, and invalidated insurance for whoever holds control of the premises. Whether you’re a sole occupier or a landlord managing multiple tenants, having a partner who understands both sides of that responsibility makes it far easier to stay ahead of it, which is exactly where Stalwart’s integrated approach comes in. 

Our fire and security systems for business

We provide a full range of fire and security systems designed to meet the needs of offices, commercial units, and business premises of every size across Ireland. 

Fire Detection Systems

Automatic fire detection, call points, and alarm panels designed to IS 3218 standards for offices and commercial units. Regular servicing and certification keep your system compliant year-round, not just on the day it’s fitted.

Emergency Lighting Systems 

Emergency lighting is a legal requirement in commercial premises, ensuring staff and visitors can evacuate safely if the main power fails. Stalwart installs, tests, and services every system to Building Regulations standard throughout its lifetime. 

CCTV Installation 

CCTV monitoring across entrances, offices, and car parks deters intruders and gives you a clear record if an incident does occur. Every installation is GDPR-compliant and can link with your access control and alarm systems.

Access Control Systems

Control who enters the building or specific floors, which matters most in multi-tenant buildings where different businesses need to keep their own space secure. Access control also gives you a clear audit trail of who came and went, and when. 

Intruder alarm systems 

Out-of-hours protection with a monitored alarm response, reducing the risk of break-ins and equipment loss when the building is empty. Every system is installed by our PSA licensed team and designed around your building’s layout. 

Monitoring & Maintenance

Ongoing servicing and remote monitoring keep every system compliant, reliable, and ready to perform when it matters. One maintenance contract covers all of your fire and security systems, backed by 24/7 callout across Ireland.

One platform for your entire building 


If you’re managing a multi-tenant building, a business park, or several premises at once, dealing with separate contractors for fire, CCTV, and access control quickly becomes its own job. Stalwart brings every system onto a single centralised platform. 

That means one dashboard, full visibility across every unit or site, and simplified compliance reporting whenever you need it, whether that’s for an insurer, a tenant, or your own peace of mind. For landlords and facilities managers responsible for more than one premises, this is what turns fire and security from a list of separate problems into one system you can actually stay on top of.
