Developed in Association with the Industry

The SIA's goal is to work closely with the security industry so that it is:

• fit and able to provide new market opportunities;
• healthier and more successful;
• respected and proud of its reputation.

In developing the Approved Contractor Scheme the SIA conducted extensive market research, working in close consultation with key stakeholders from the industry. This process involved interviews with managers in security companies, purchasers of security services, providers of accreditation schemes, trade associations and other relevant organisations.
