When it comes to security, you want to know you:c in the hands of someone trustworthy. The last thing you want is to have an unqualified or questionable company install your security systems!

This is where certifications can be a lifesaver, as they give you the confidence that you’re making a good decision. One of the certifying bodies you can look out for is NSI, and they have a range of ‘hallmarks’ that show you what skills and qualifications a security company has. Since security are NSI Gold certified. were’ going to talk a bit about what that means.

They’re an independent not-for-profit, and fully UK As accredited too. which means they are the go-to body for certifying companies in fie and security. They ensure that all companies registered with them meet the highest standards through regular inspections, audits and certification. They have 2 levels of certification a company can achieve- gold and silver. Both of these levels (which they call hall works) demonstrates that a company operates in accordance with recognised industry standards.
