PSIRA is short for the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority.

PSIRA is the official organization responsible for setting the standards for any security business in South Africa – whether you want to offer security services or security products. This is determined by South African legislation: the Private Security Industry Regulation Act.

If you want to operate any business within the private security industry, you have to register your business with PSIRA. You also have to get the appropriate security grading (there are various) for your staff, any members, directors, partners, trustees or managers.

This is compulsory. Why? PSIRA Registration ensures there’s a baseline of standards for service and product providers within the security industry.

It ensures there’s a level of safety for you, your partners and your employees – and importantly, for your clients. PSIRA’s compulsory paperwork stops fly-by-night security companies from trading or offering sub-par, unsafe or unethical products or services that may pose potential safety risks.

Security in South Africa isn’t risk-free, and consumers, employers and employees need to have basic standard they can rely on.

What do you need to Register for PSIRA

PSIRA Registration requires your business to go undergo a PSIRA Registration process and a PSIRA Investigation Process.  This implies security grading for you and the people involved in your security business.

Here’s a list of the documentation you need before your business is eligible for PSIRA Registration:

1. A Security Grade B of your staff, members, directors, partners, trustees, and managers need to undergo PSIRA Grading.
   (We’re placing a list below for what these individuals need to qualify for security grading)
2. Proof of your Company Registration
3. A Tax Clearance Certificate, VAT Registration Number, PAYE Number
4. UIF and COID Registration (if applicable)
5. Business Plan (at least for one year). A declaration declaring that your business will be able to operate for at least the next year.
6. Immovable office location
