About

Citadelta is a master-certified security firm based in Berlin. Run by someone who has worked the shifts himself — not by an administration that merely buys them in.

Ahmad Abu Zer

Managing Director, Master Craftsman for Protection and Security

I have worked in the security industry since 2019. I started where most people start: on shift, on site. Those years are the reason I know where security concepts fail in practice — rarely because of the theory, and almost always because nobody knows the reality on the ground.

The master craftsman examination in protection and security is the highest qualification in the German industry. It covers legal compliance, business administration, security technology, the design of security services, and vocational pedagogy. As a certified instructor, I train security personnel myself and brief them for each specific site.

I founded Citadelta because I wanted to offer security differently from how the market usually sells it: not as a quota of hours, but as an outcome that someone puts their name behind.

What we stand for

We decline when it does not fit

An assignment we cannot deliver properly is not an assignment. An honest no beats a site that is only guarded on paper.

We answer for the outcome

Security is not an attendance sheet. We take responsibility for the concept holding up — not merely for someone having been on site.

Understand first, quote second

Every quote starts with the question of what actually needs protecting. Only then do we talk about hours and rates.

Reference

Facility protection, office building, Berlin

Ongoing protection of a commercial property in Berlin with a volume of 300 to 400 hours. Scope: access control, patrols, locking duty and incident reporting in shift operation including night shifts. Named anonymously at the client's request.

Certifications

Certifications under BSI baseline protection, NIS-2 and TÜV are in preparation. We will list them here once they are in place — and not before.

Let us talk

Whether facility protection or consulting: an initial conversation costs nothing and usually establishes within twenty minutes whether we are a good fit.
