The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is a government organisation which is responsible for the regulation of the private security industry throughout the UK. The Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) is a voluntary scheme introduced by the SIA to help raise performance standards and develop new opportunities within the private security industry.

The framework of the scheme works to set, improve and monitor the operational standards of security services and is quickly becoming a necessity for companies looking to distinguish themselves.

In order to attain ACS certification in Kent, businesses must meet the standardised set of qualifying criteria and be able to demonstrate sufficient competence and capabilities across relevant technical, management and operational areas.

Being an SIA approved contractor in Kent provides a recognisable approved status that instils confidence and acts as a benchmark for quality within the security sector.
