Security Compliance & Auditing
Tailored frameworks identifying vulnerabilities and reducing exposure.
Security audits and compliance reviews are essential to maintaining operational effectiveness, ensuring legal conformity, and demonstrating due diligence to stakeholders, regulators, and insurers. At URM, we focus on helping organisations build a sustainable and proactive approach to compliance—not just ticking boxes.
Our Services Include:
PSIRA and Regulatory Compliance Audits:
Reviewing operations, registrations, and documentation to ensure full compliance with South African security industry legislation.
Site-Specific Security Audits:
Assessing infrastructure, manpower, systems, and processes for operational alignment and regulatory adherence. These may be conducted as scheduled evaluations or surprise inspections.
Gap Analysis & Risk-Based Assessments:
Identifying weak points across security layers (physical, procedural, manpower, and response) and recommending practical corrective actions.
SOP and Documentation Reviews:
Ensuring procedures are fit-for-purpose, legally sound, standardised, and easily understood by on-the-ground staff.
Training & Competency Audits:
Evaluating the effectiveness of current training efforts and identifying retraining needs or competency gaps.
Third-Party Audit Preparation:
Supporting clients ahead of insurer or regulatory inspections by identifying vulnerabilities and providing rectification strategies.
Common Audit Triggers
A recent incident exposed gaps in protocols
Inconsistent SOPs across sites or departments
Unclear responsibilities between in-house staff and contractors
Poor documentation or missing compliance records
Lack of evidence of training or competency verification
Our approach goes beyond identifying non-conformances. We assist clients in developing improvement roadmaps, restructuring documentation, and embedding a long-term culture of compliance that is tailored to their risk profile and operational realities.

Estates or facilities undergoing PSIRA inspections
Businesses preparing for ISO or regulatory audits

New developments or construction projects needing compliance from the ground up
Firms transitioning to new guarding service providers
