SIA-Licensed Security: What UK Businesses Need to Know

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) regulates private security in the UK. Hiring SIA-licensed personnel is a legal requirement for most guarding services and a mark of professional standards.

What SIA licensing covers

SIA licences cover door supervision, security guarding, CCTV operation, and close protection. Each licence requires training, identity checks, and ongoing compliance.

Why it matters for your business

Using unlicensed security exposes your organisation to legal liability, insurance invalidation, and reputational risk. Always verify licences before contract award.
