Our Story

The Team Behind
Vigilantis

Founded on the belief that every project, regardless of size, sector, or location, deserves world-class security design expertise.

Who We Are

15 Years of Expertise.
One Mission.

Vigilantis was founded in the UAE by Dr. Moheb Benjamin, a security professional with over 15 years designing and overseeing physical security and ELV systems for government agencies, embassies, hospitals, hospitality developments, and critical national infrastructure worldwide.

We saw the same failure pattern repeated: developers and contractors with no independent expert guidance making costly design decisions at the wrong stage, across both security and ELV systems. Vigilantis was built to fix that, delivering the same calibre of expertise that previously only large government contractors could access, to any project, anywhere, remotely.

Doctor of Construction Management · Physical security expert with 15+ years delivering world-class security consulting across the UAE and internationally.

Dr. M. Benjamin
"

When I started in this industry, I worked on some of the most sensitive security installations in the region. I saw firsthand how a poorly designed system, no matter how expensive the equipment, creates vulnerabilities that cannot be patched after the fact.

My doctoral research in Construction Management examined precisely this problem: how intelligent risk mitigation, predictive analytics, and AI-driven frameworks can be used to proactively identify and eliminate security and project risks before they materialise. That academic rigour now underpins every engagement Vigilantis delivers.

What troubled me most was that this level of expertise was inaccessible to the vast majority of developers, contractors, and organisations. It belonged only to those with large government budgets and the right connections.

Vigilantis was founded to change that. We started in the UAE and are serving clients worldwide, because we believe any organisation, anywhere, regardless of size, sector, or location, deserves world-class security design.

Our commitment is simple: vendor-independent, expert-led guidance at every stage of your project. We don't sell equipment. We don't take commissions. We work exclusively for you, and we measure our success by whether your security system performs flawlessly, every single time.

Thank you for trusting Vigilantis. We look forward to protecting what matters most to you.
