Assistance with the SIA Approved Contractors Scheme

What is the Approved Contractors Scheme (ACS)?
A system of standards established by the Security Industry Authority (SIA), for providers of security services. Within the security industry this scheme is recognised as being the hallmark of quality.

What would accreditation mean for your business?
There is no doubt that for many private security companies achieving status to this scheme means a lot of hard work!  However the benefits are far-reaching and definitely worth the effort.

• Firstly your business will have an effective management system in place;
• It is a valuable sales and marketing tool in this competitive business sector;
• Widely regarded as an important accreditation which shows your company is moving forward;
• Once approved your company could approach larger companies with a view to becoming a sub-contractor for them.

How can we help you?
With a 100% success rate and many satisfied customers we can advise you and guide you through every stage of the ACS.

From your first initial contact with us, our knowledgeable sales staff will ensure that you understand all the requirements of the scheme and the process of achieving accreditation.

You will then be passed onto our ACS project team, headed by our Lead Quality Auditor.  At this stage we complete the Workbook for you, whilst continually assessing your current processes and advising on any amendments.  We can also provide you with all relevant documentation.

While we like to remain in regular contact with our clients during this process we always respect that your main priority is to run your business.

Our aim is to guide you through the ACS process as effectively as possible to ensure a successful outcome. If required we can train your staff on the processes and documentation. Contact us for your free quote
