Here are
the 6 Important Points That You MUST Pay Attention to when hiring a Security Guarding
Company
1.
Know Your Requirements
When you’re planning to
hire a security guarding company, it’s essential to understand their purpose.
Various security companies provide different services, and most specialize in
one or two security fields only. For example, some deal with residential mobile
patrols while others have the expertise to secure large industrial properties
or sporting events.
Therefore, it would be
helpful to consider what you’re trying to achieve, and which security concerns
you’re seeking to address. Understanding your security requirements will
provide you with a clearer vision of the type of security firm you will need to
meet your expectations.
At NSG Security Guarding, we provide a complete range of security
services across Johannesburg, Pretoria, and the surroundings. Our services include: industrial
properties Security Guards Services; Event Security Guards Services, Retail security for loss prevention; Commercial building security;
Residential security; Construction sites security; School and university campus
security; Industrial and manufacturing security; Medical complex security;
Cultural organization security; Hospitality security; Church security; Hotel
and motel security; Video Monitoring, GPS Guard Tracking, and more.
2. Verify Psira
Registration and Accreditations
The Private Security Industry in South Africa is regulated by the Private
Security Industry Regulatory Authority (Psira). Unfortunately many fly by night,
unregistered and unscrupulous companies are still operating out there.
Again before you commit to any
security guarding company, make sure
you verify its Psira registration and accreditation. Also, check the Psira registration of any security guards appointed to your premises.
It’s also important to
ensure that the security guarding company you’re hiring has the right insurance coverage and registered with
Worker’s Compensation (COIDA), UIF with the Department of Labour, The Provident
Fund and SARS. As a Fully compliant security service provider under the Private
Security Industry Regulatory Authority (Psira), NSG Security Guarding takes compliance very seriously and that’s
why for your peace of mind, we carry a comprehensive public liability insurance
for up to 7 million rands, and all our certifications are up to date.
3.
Focus On Reliability
Once you have understood
what your security needs are, you can then focus on finding a security guarding company that you can
trust and partner with. Private security guarding companies won’t be able
to protect your business if they are unprofessional and unreliable. For
example, security guards are considered highly unreliable if they are always
late, not present on their spot, or are distracted. At NSG Security Guarding, we use GPSGuard Tracking System to ensure that security guards actually arrived on
site. So if your security guard is not checking into our technology platform by
15:30, we’ll get an alert and get ahead with those things. As a matter of fact, when you hire us, you also get all these
other benefits
4.
An integrated Technology
Company
The World is changing around you. Adjust
to the Times or Face Extinction. Technology is changing security industry operations.
Unfortunately, many security guarding companies are still using outdated
tools in this digital age. While most security guard companies are stuck in
the past using Traditional and ineffective methods. Many security guarding
companies are fighting change, refusing to embrace Technology. So the question
is, what type of technology is your current security company using to manage your security guards? Moreover, what type of security patrol system is your current security company using to patrol your premises?
Does your security guarding company
still use pagers or Magtouch clock stick to patrol your premises? If your
security company still uses pagers or Magtouch clock stick to patrol your
premises stop right now. Why stay stuck with an outdated way of managing
work? It is about choosing smart technology.

6.
Ensure the Security
Guarding Company Has Good Customer Service
A lot of effort goes into building
a security guarding company, but
excellent customer service is the security guarding company essence. For most security companies, customer service is
their core identity, so make sure you’re not hiring a security guarding company who is in it only for the money and
doesn’t care much about your safety requirements.
Beware of
Communication built around invoices.
Clients should look for a security guarding company that is 100
percent transparent and has accountability built into their service for tracking
and managing a security officer program. Too often clients don’t get the data they
need to manage their program or fail to receive timely notification of events,
such as instances of a guard’s late arrival to a shift. Instead, clients should
insist on a provider that has a real - time-and-attendance system that
guarantees they won’t pay for any time that a guard isn’t on duty and can
immediately resolve the issue to prevent a gap in service.
Hence, make sure that the security guarding company you’re about
to hire takes your business/property seriously and cares about it as much as
you do. “Don’t forget that it’s your guard program, and you want to be
sure that you are getting access to that. If the only time you ever hear from
your security guarding company is
when the invoice comes, something isn’t right. That is a relationship to steer
away from.
Selecting the right security guarding company can bring you
the protection you need and the peace of mind you deserve. If you want the best
service, choose a Psira registered company that using technology to protect our assets.
