Support: We offer support to Estate & Security Managers and HOA’s, providing the guidance and experience required to manage operations and onsite security effectively.

Passion: We are incredibly passionate about all our business and treat every Estate we work on as if we live on the Estate and the protection and changes directly benefit us.
Track Record: Our customers are satisfied with our services, and we have long standing relationships with all our customers.
Independent: We are not aligned with any security, guarding or electronic company, and we don’t sell equipment. We offer the best guidance and advice for our customers.

ALL ABOUT OUR SERVICES

Security Consulting

With the primary objective being optimizing and developing excellence in the Security Operations through a continuous cycle of improvement, we work in the best interests of our clients.

We provide numerous support services, such as Service Level Agreements, metrics and measurements, policies & procedures, as well as reports and analysis tools to ensure our primary objectives are met.

We engage on a level that works best for the Estate to improve Operational proficiency. With Operations being a continuous improvement programme, we work with both the Upper and Executive Management to address and mitigate security risks at all levels and to improve the management and measurement thereof, taking your Security Operations to the next level.

audits & assessments

Our Audits consist of a full assessment of the current Security Operations provided on-site with the primary goal being the identification of areas of recommendation & improvement to optimize security on your Estate.

This involves the observation of current operations, staff interviews, evaluation of technology and manpower relationships, evaluation of policies & procedures and reports analysis.

Be honest with yourself, if you feel there is room for improvement on your Estate, be proactive – don’t wait and then regret it.

training & development

We offer the following training:

ESTATE SECURITY GUARD TRAINING

Estates are very specific in their needs. They require security and protection however they also require the hospitality element. This is where we fit in by educating how to establish this balance.

CCTV OPERATIONAL SKILLS TRAINING AND CONTROL ROOM OPERATIONS

We offer specialised CCTV Operator training which covers pertinent skills training to maximize operations, surveillance and improved operational efficiency within the Control Room.

ESTATE SECURITY MANAGEMENT TRAINING

Our training provides the balance between security management, operations and business acumen. This course assists supervisors or area managers wanting to move into estate security roles.

tender adjudication

We manage the entire Tender Process for your Security requirements, including but not limited to:

Request For Proposals Drafting Tenders for operational and technical requirements,
Tender Adjudication,
negotiating of services & pricing as well as
the drafting of Service Level Agreements including
stringent penalty and
critical failure clauses.
Hosting presentations and providing a recommendation.

The value of having someone from the industry assisting in such a vital foundation not only saves money but ensures the right services are proposed and presented.

SLA's, policies & procedures

In our experience, most Sites do have SOP’s in place, however, these are normally drafted by the Service Provider and the trend is to simply copy and paste.

Although there are many similarities in security operations, every single one has different systems and functions that are paramount to the Security Operations being effective.

The problem is that, when a breach occurs, these systems & functions start to unravel.

We can assist with drafting a Site-Specific SOP Manual which will be owned by the Site.

We can draft site-specific Standard Operating Procedures that will ensure technology and manpower work together seamlessly, as well as workflow processes, and System Training manuals. The highest risk is staff not understanding how the systems work properly.

our App for security operations, technical and maintenance

Manage your Guarding Operations easily & simply using our APP which will provide a live dashboard that is tailor-made for your Site. Our APP offers exception reporting, patrol tagging & management, logging of maintenance issues and provides full transparency of all issues experienced on Site.

Own your own patrol tag points and manage your staff’s time and attendance.

With automated daily, weekly and monthly reports as well as process flows, with approvals.

By managing your own Operations effectively, you regain control of your Estate drawing your own reports of the APP reflecting accurate unedited information to manage Operations more efficiently.

We are tenacious, meticulous and dedicated. We are customer-focused and solutions-driven.

Apart from our expertise, our work ethic and integrity are what sets us apart.
