The private security industry has attracted Government attention in recent years as it is a massive provider of security services. Increasingly, it is seen as part of the 'wider Police family' and such had a vital role to play in the prevention of crime and, more recently, terrorism.
Through the Security Industry Authority
(SIA),
Government has moved to tighten control of contractors (companies)
and individuals offering their services in this sector. It is argued
that industry must be more proactive in seeking voluntary certification
for its services, in order to demonstrate professionalism, good
management and an ethical approach. SSAIB certification will enable
you to demonstrate these.
SSAIB is an SIA
Approved Assessing Body. For more information on the SIA
Approved Contractor Scheme click

SSAIB offers this scheme as a product certification scheme recognised by Insurers and UKAS. Whilst this scheme requires providers to demonstrate that they operate a management system which satisfies SSAIB's scheme criteria, it is not required to be certificated to ISO 9001: 2000. However, for guarding service providers SSAIB recommends certification of management systems to ISO 9001: 2000.
Guarding service providers who demonstrate
product and management systems compliance will have greater market
acceptance. They will have an awareness of all the management and
service standards requirement relevant to the operation of a professional
and ethical guarding business. The licencing of security services
providers is aimed at raising standards and performance in the industry
and providers of guarding serrvices will be required to demonstrate
that they have complied with all relevant management and service
standards.
