Pharmaceutical security in the Netherlands

Pharmaceutical security in the Netherlands for manufacturers, CDMOs, biotech and labs, wholesalers and clinical logistics. Access control, cold chain alarm response and a fixed crew around the Dutch life sciences hubs of Leiden, Utrecht, Oss, Maastricht and Schiphol Trade Park. QP release, GMP auditing and OT or cyber security sit outside our scope.

A fixed security partner for your Dutch pharma facility

A pharmaceutical environment runs under strict quality and continuity requirements. Manufacturing runs across multiple shifts, cleanrooms may not be entered uncontrolled, cold storage holds 2 to 8 °C or deeper, labs often sit on shared campuses and distribution is temperature and time critical. One unplanned stop or one undocumented access can invalidate a batch and directly impact your GMP or GDP audit.

Kilic Security is a Dutch security company based in Amsterdam, working with businesses across the pharmaceutical chain in the Netherlands: manufacturers of small molecule, biologics and sterile fill and finish, CDMOs, biotech and R&D at the life sciences campuses, wholesalers and pre wholesale with cold and freezer storage, clinical logistics and IMP storage, and head offices of international operators. You get a fixed crew with a team lead, briefed on your airlock and zone regime and on your position in the GMP and GDP chain. One dedicated point of contact from intake through daily operation.

Airlock under control, no unplanned disruptions

For manufacturing and packaging sites with a cleanroom regime we supervise the airlock, verify badges and zone authorisations, escort contractors to the right room and keep an auditable log that aligns with your access control system. Our officers are trained on gowning discipline and on preventing non productive disruptions. QA and batch release stay with you: we make sure physical access to your cleanroom is correct.

Why a pharma facility needs its own approach

Pharma facilities have a risk profile you rarely see elsewhere. High value, high theft appeal product, cold chains that cannot be interrupted, cleanrooms with strict airlock and zone regime, labs with controlled substances or biological material, and daily flows of contractors, engineers, caterers, auditors and inspections. One wrong access or one unreported alarm can directly impact product quality, batch release and your GMP or GDP status.

The risk profile also differs per type of area. Manufacturing and cleanroom asks for discipline at the airlock and for officers who know what they may and may not have in view. A cold or freezer warehouse asks for gate control, ANPR, seals on trailers and fast response on temperature alarms. A lab on a shared campus asks for a representative reception and tight contractor registration. We build the crew per facility on experience, presentation and languages that match your operation and your QA culture.

Airlock under control, cold chain in view

The airlock to manufacturing and the loading dock at cold storage are where most goes wrong: the wrong engineer in the wrong zone, a contractor without the right briefing, a trailer that does not match the shipment, a temperature alarm handled too late. Our officers control at the airlock and gate, link driver and licence plate to your system, keep cold storage and dock in view via camera and physical rounds and handle alarms 24/7 from our control room. Escalation is a last step, not a first reaction.

Which type of organisation we work for

Our pharmaceutical security is built for businesses that run 24/7, operate under strict quality requirements and deal with external flows every day. In practice we mainly work for the following operators:

  • Manufacturers of small molecule, biologics, vaccine and sterile fill and finish
  • Contract development and manufacturing organisations (CDMOs) and contract testing labs
  • Biotech and R&D at Leiden Bio Science Park, Utrecht Science Park, Pivot Park Oss and Brightlands Maastricht
  • Pharmaceutical wholesalers and pre wholesale with 2 to 8 °C, -20 °C and -70 °C storage around Schiphol Trade Park, Venlo and Oss
  • Clinical logistics and IMP storage for trial sponsors and CROs
  • Head offices of international pharma and medtech operators in the Randstad

Do you also run QP release, GMP auditing or validation of climate systems? That sits with the licence holder and specialised parties and is not something we provide. Everything around it (physical access, airlock and zone supervision, reception, contractor registration, cold storage response, office security and mobile patrols) we do.

Fixed crew per site, also at night and on weekends

For a fixed manufacturing or warehouse facility we assign the same crew and team lead to your site. They know your airlock and zone layout, your regular contractors, your carriers and your shift rhythm. Day, night and weekend covered from the same team, with on call for incidents and alarm response from our control room.

How we integrate with your operation

As QA, facilities or security manager you do not want to coordinate with several security parties at once. At Kilic Security you get one dedicated point of contact from intake: someone who walks the site with you, thinks along on airlock and zone layout, ANPR at the gate, camera coverage of cleanroom entry and loading dock, and on the fit with your QA and facilities teams. We deliver a setup that aligns with your GMP and GDP procedures and with the requirements of your auditors and clients.

Multiple facilities in the portfolio (manufacturing in Oss, distribution centre near Schiphol, office in Amsterdam)? We keep control in one hand: one reporting line and one set of procedures across all your sites, with a team lead per site and one central point of contact above the operation. Reports are auditable and available on request from your QA or an external inspection.

Frequently asked questions about pharmaceutical security

A short intro to the most common questions. Don't see yours? We're happy to help you personally.

Don't see your question? Get in touch

Yes. Officers on pharma sites are briefed on airlock and zone regime, gowning discipline and on preventing non productive disruptions in cleanrooms and on the manufacturing floor. For cold and freezer storage we work under your GDP procedures around seals, temperature alarms and documentation. QP release, GMP auditing and validation of climate systems stay with your licence holder and specialised parties: that is not something we provide.

All officers are certified with a valid Dutch security ID (BV pas) issued by Justis under the Wpbr. Standard on top of that: VCA safety, in-house emergency response and first aid. On request: pre employment screening, bilingual deployment (Dutch and English), and additional training on GMP environments at the start of the assignment. Kilic Security itself is a member of the VPB and works under the ND Security Quality Mark.

Yes. Temperature alarms are handled from our control room, connected to your BMS or monitoring platform. On a deviation at 2 to 8 °C, -20 °C or -70 °C the response follows a pre agreed procedure: first your QA or on call engineer, then facilities and if needed an external refrigeration engineer. All actions are logged in an auditable way and available for your QA and for inspections.

Yes. We operate at and around Leiden Bio Science Park, Utrecht Science Park, Pivot Park Oss, Brightlands Maastricht, Schiphol Trade Park and the pharmaceutical logistics clusters in Venlo and the Randstad corridor. For operators with multiple sites in the Netherlands we keep one point of contact and one set of procedures across all of them.

Yes. We run visitor and contractor registration at the reception or at the gate, link visitors to a host, verify authorisations per zone and keep an auditable log that aligns with your access control system. For contractors on the manufacturing floor or in a cleanroom environment we also deliver the safety and site briefing on arrival, in agreement with your QA and facilities.

Yes. We run 24/7 on fixed sites (day, evening, night and weekend) from the same team, with on call for incidents. Alarm and detection signals are handled by the on site crew and by our control room, with a second line via a monitoring centre. On incidents we deliver a written report within 24 hours, suitable for your QA, your insurer and for inspections.

Yes. Agency staff you meet for the first time on the day is not how we work. Per site we assign a fixed crew and team lead who knows your airlock and zone layout, your regular contractors, your carriers and your shift rhythm. For peaks or expansion we scale from the same network, not from a loose pool.
