Our accreditations

Independent bodies have audited how we work, so you don't have to take our word for it. Here's what each credential means, in plain English.

British Assessment Bureau, COP 119 Labour Provision certified

COP 119: Provision of Labour (Security)

Certified by the British Assessment Bureau · ✓ Certified

What it is. Code of Practice 119 is the recognised standard for supplying staff to the security sector. It sets clear, auditable expectations for ethical, compliant and transparent staffing, covering licence checks, right-to-work verification, vetting, fair treatment of staff and honest record keeping. Our certificate is independently audited and awarded by the British Assessment Bureau (BAB), a UKAS accredited certification body.

What difference it makes for you

  • Confidence that every officer we supply is licensed, legal and properly vetted.
  • Protection for your own compliance, because our audited supply chain becomes part of yours.
  • Assurance that the people working your sites are treated ethically and paid fairly.

The bottom line: if you take staff from us, you're taking them from an independently audited, ethical supplier, not a grey-market middleman.

CHAS Accredited Contractor

CHAS: Health & Safety (SSIP)

Accredited contractor · ✓ Accredited

What it is. CHAS (the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is one of the UK's founding health & safety assessment schemes and a member of SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement). It independently reviews our health & safety management systems against recognised core criteria aligned with the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

What difference it makes for you

  • Independently assessed health and safety management that protects your people and ours.
  • SSIP mutual recognition reduces duplicated safety assessments, saving you time and cost.
  • Eligibility for contracts with buyers who require an SSIP accreditation.

The bottom line: proven health & safety competence, and smoother procurement for clients who demand SSIP.

Information Commissioner's Office

ICO Registration: Data Protection

Information Commissioner's Office · ✓ Registered

What it is. The Information Commissioner's Office is the UK's independent regulator for data protection. As a security business we handle personal data every day, from staff vetting records to incident reports and client details. Our ICO registration confirms we're accountable under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 for handling it lawfully.

What difference it makes for you

  • Incident reports, site records and personal data handled lawfully and securely.
  • A registered, accountable data controller that you can look up on the public ICO register.
  • Clear privacy commitments, published in our Data Protection & Privacy Policy.

The bottom line: your data, and your people's data, is handled by a registered, regulated controller.
