What is PSIRA? A Simple Guide
The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) is the official government body that regulates South Africa’s private security industry. Its job is to ensure that security companies and their officers are properly trained, qualified, and operate within the law. Any business providing security services – from guarding and armed response to private investigators and alarm installers – *must* be registered as a business with PSIRA. All security officers must also be individually registered.
