After a recent inspection by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI), Sector Security Services have retained their NSI Gold Award for a second time.
Sector Managing Director, Margaret Wilson, said: “Being one of the very few company’s in the North who have received such a high accolade as the NSI Gold Award, which also requires companies to have achieved International British Standards, Sector Security must display a combination of technical expertise and business excellence that is regularly open to inspections. Sector provides highly trained personnel to support manned security, alarm response and keyholding, opening/closing services, mobile security patrols and remote monitoring of CCTV. For those companies and businesses looking to appoint a security company, it is vitally important that they can refer to some assurance of standards. Commencing in January 2005, security companies have to train and licence security officers and I am certain that this will have a major effect on those companies not already implementing proper vetting and training procedures. As Sector already fulfil the requirements for training, vetting and criminal checks, we are confident that our security officers will have no difficulty in their individual license applications. Employing the right security company is essential as this not only reduces possible risks and provides safety for your employees, it protects premises and avoids major disruption to businesses should a breach of security occur. Plus, it can provide crucial, accurately recorded evidence to demonstrate ‘duty of care’ or support successful prosecutions or insurance claims. Therefore, in the long term, it pays to be selective in appointing a security company.”
