The SIA’s Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) acts as a hallmark of quality for the private security industry, raising performance standards and allowing companies to distinguish themselves as industry leaders.
SIA’s Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) is an accreditation that is aimed at security companies already operating at the highest standards. Its objective is to raise performance standards and to assist the private security industry in developing new opportunities.
To qualify for the accreditation, every company taking part is subject to a stringent vetting and auditing process undertaken by the SIA (Security Industry Authority). The purpose of vetting and auditing is to look at each individual process we have in place to ensure compliance with relevant regulations set out in the ACS criteria.

The benefits of using an ACS approved contractor are:
– Clear Customer Focus and Increased Flexibility: You can expect effective customer-focused procedures in place to overcome any issues that arise in service delivery. The ACS Standard encourages service customisation, rather than ‘off-the-shelf’ packages. This will help ensure that services delivered, more closely reflects your precise requirements.
Continuity of Service: Approved Contractors are therefore able to offer greater flexibility and operational effectiveness when supplying security services.
– Best Practice & Continuity of Quality: You can be confident that our employment practices have been extensively investigated in respect of quality assurance and best practice. This gives us a greater accountability for our staff, practices and systems. Ensuring our KPI (Key Performance Indicator) system is of a higher standard than non-approved contractors.
– Leadership and Innovation: The ACS is a progressive quality initiative. It’s also a voluntary scheme. This means we have been assessed to be highly responsive to change and swift to adopt new methods and best practices.
– The extended Police Family: The status of the ACS is recognised by the police and offers the potential for enhanced working relationships. The aim is to provide practical benefits through ‘joined-up’ police, business and community initiatives.
Choosing an ACS accredited supplier for the provision of your contract security services will help you meet your security obligations to your staff, shareholders and other stakeholders.
Approved contractors are committed to customer service and the compulsory licensing of our staff.
Our customers can be confident that every private security operative deployed on their premises will be working within the law.
