Welcome to the website for the Security Industry Authority (SIA). We exist to manage the licensing of the private security industry as set out in the Private Security Industry Act 2001. We also aim to raise standards of professionalism and skills within the private security industry and to promote and spread best practice.
This site will keep you up to date on all aspects of licensing, the impacts that licensing will have on the private security industry, progress being made and what those connected with the security industry may need to do as a result of the new regulations.
