SIA

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is the organisation responsible for regulating the private security industry. It has two main duties. One is the compulsory licensing of individuals working in specific sectors of the private security industry; the other is to manage the Approved Contractor Scheme, which measures private security companies against a set of independently assessed criteria.

All BusinessWatch security guards are SIA approved and BusinessWatch is an Approved SIA Contractor.
