Identifying your organisations security needs is only part of the problem. You then need to understand what the best services and equipment are and most importantly, select a suitable contractor who will do provide the service to the quality standards you expect.
National Security Inspectorate (NSI) is an independent, not-for-profit approvals body providing inspection services for the security and fire industries. For over 30 years, NSI has been protecting the customer by insisting on the highest standards and operating the toughest inspection regime. Companies are inspected regularly, by highly qualified, full-time inspectors, to prove their ongoing delivery of the highest standards. NSI’s Customer Care support process reinforces the reliability and integrity of the companies it inspects.
All NSI schemes exceed the appropriate requirements of the Police, and Insurers and NSI is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), which operates on behalf of the Government under a Memorandum of Understanding from the Department of Trade and Industry.
NSI’s approves companies in two key areas. Its NACOSS Gold and Systems Silver schemes provide approval for companies involved in the installation of electronic security systems, which includes intruder alarms, CCTV and access control.
Manned security companies receive approval through NSI’s Guarding Gold, Silver and Bronze schemes. The Security Industry Authority is introducing the Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) for security officers. The NSI Guarding schemes exceed the requirements of the ACS, however, they may choose to seek ACS approval. Insight Certification Limited, of which NSI is a division, is an approved assessor for the SIA.
