South Africa's
Hardest Working
Guards
Over 1,500 PSIRA-registered officers protecting corporate sites, estates, malls, events and warehouses across South Africa — managed in real time from our 24/7 control room.
Guarding That
Never Blinks
Every PT Alarms officer is polygraph-tested, background-checked, PSIRA-registered and undergoes rigorous training before deployment. We don't fill a post — we build a tailored security plan and execute it with military discipline.
Our guarding division is our largest and most critical operation, protecting some of South Africa's most recognisable brands, shopping centres, industrial sites and residential estates every single day.
