SIA ACS Audit

This week saw Security Scotland audited by the SSAIB, our UKAS accredited awarding body for various leading industry accreditations that we are annually audited on. Schemes that include the SIA ACS (Approved Contractor Scheme) which we have been involved in for the last 15 years, ISO 9001 and the 119 Codes of Practice in Security.

We are proud to announce that we continued to increase our year on year score from our 2023 audit, placing us securely within the Top 5 % of all ACS accredited suppliers in the UK for the first time.

We are delighted with the outcome of the audit, and to be in the company of only 33 other companies out of just under 800 ACS companies registered throughout the UK, to achieve such a prestigious score.

The SIA – Approved Contractor Scheme provides a recognised hallmark of quality within the private security industry.

It assesses approved contractors against 78 different areas of their business covering topics as diverse as staff training, financial management and the company’s health and safety policies.
The pass mark for each indicator is the required achievement level, so a positive score (like +1) shows that the company is consistently going above and beyond the required level, so to surpass the 127 points threshold, to gain top 5%, represents the consistent hard work from everyone involved at the company.

As a leading security and crowd management company, Security Scotland Ltd has SIA ACS accreditation for Security Guarding and Door Supervision and we specialise in:

• Retail Security
• Security Guarding
• Concierge / Security Hosts
• Licensed Trade
• Outdoor Events
• Football Stadiums
