How to Choose the Best Security Firm in Sri Lanka

7 things to check before hiring a security firm

Licensing and registrationA private security firm in Sri Lanka should be registered with the Ministry of Defence. Ask for the registration details and check they are current.

Trained and vetted guardsAsk how guards are recruited, whether they are police-cleared, and what training they get before starting at your site.

SupervisionGood guards need good supervision. Ask how often supervisors visit, and how the firm checks guards on night shifts.

24/7 responseFind out who answers the phone at 2 am, and how fast the firm can send help or a replacement guard.

Written post ordersYour site should have clear written instructions: what to check, who to call, and when to patrol.

References from similar clientsAsk for clients in your type of business, such as factories, apartments or shops, and talk to them if you can.

Clear pricingThe quotation should show the number of guards, shifts, hours and what is included, with no hidden costs.
