The UK National Threat Levels

The system of threat levels has been created to keep you informed about the level of threat the UK faces from terrorism at any given time. This system helps police and other law enforcement agencies decide how to allocate staff. The threat level represents the likelihood of an attack in the near future.  

The Five Levels are as follows:

  • CRITICAL means an attack is expected imminently
  • SEVERE means an attack is highly likely
  • SUBSTANTIAL means an attack is a strong possibility
  • MODERATE means an attack is possible but not likely
  • LOW means an attack is unlikely

Should you have any queries regarding the threat information brief or would like any specific information please contact intel@vigilant.uk

Franck Bruyere
Operations and Sustainability Director, Savills – Edinburgh St James Quarter

We first engaged with Vigilant in May 2019 during the final planning stages of the opening of our Brunel Building in Paddington. We worked closely with the management team and soon built a solid relationship which ensured the mobilisation was successful and we had a robust security solution in place from day one. During the term of the contract, Vigilant has adapted the security service to suit our business needs. Knowing our occupiers are greeted in a professional and friendly manner and working in a safe and secure environment provides peace of mind and consistency of service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Vigilant Security.”

Ben Thomson
Operations Manager, Derwent London

The gauge of any partnership between a client organisation and a service provider can be assessed from the level of understanding that exists in both organisations, the trust that builds up over time and the consistency of service provision. Vigilant has made it their business to understand our aims and objectives and to fine tune their operations to support those ambitions. Professional, well organised and very responsive with clear strategies on continual improvement align themselves to fit both ours and our end clients’ aspirations.
