The 2001 Private Security Industry Act required the SIA to establish a

"system of inspection for providers of security services, under which those organizations who satisfactorily meet the agreed standards may be registered as approved, and may advertise themselves as such."

Once accredited, your company will be able to display the Approved Contractor plaque and certificate in your reception or boardroom.

• Deploy security staff while their licence applications are being processed
• Achieve greater flexibility and efficient cost management
• Gain recognition as one of the best providers of private security services
• Review your operational processes to improve efficiency
• Join the Register of SIA Approved Contractors to increase prospects 

As a BSI client you can access a number of resources designed to help you get the most out of your certification. You’ll get regular updates on the latest developments in standards and management systems as well as our training courses and events. The support you receive from your client manager will continue alongside business reviews to help your organization maintain its competitive edge and to continually improve. 

We pioneered standards more than 100 years ago and today we’re the market leader. We help over 70,000 organizations ranging from top global brands to small ambitious businesses in 150 countries to gain an edge over their competition. As one of the few organizations that understands standards from start to finish, we don’t only assess how well you’re meeting them, we create new standards from scratch and train teams globally to use them and perform better. Our knowledge can transform your organization.
