Security Industry Authority

An update from Pete Easterbrook, interim SIA Director of Inspections and Enforcement. Pete leads the SIA's drive against training malpractice.

A man who both acted as director of a security company and worked as a front line security guard without a licence has been prosecuted.

A man has been convicted for working at a Cambridgeshire venue with a suspended Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence.

A door supervisor who continued to work after his licence was revoked has been ordered to pay over £1,000 in fines and prosecution costs.

The SIA has awarded its grant for good causes to 3 organisations preventing violence against women and girls.

A recent SIA-led joint operation investigating unlicensed door staff in Brighton led to three arrests.

The SIA welcomes the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 – Martyn’s Law – receiving Royal Assent.

The SIA invited senior representatives from the private security industry to discuss ways that they and the regulator could combat labour exploitation together.

The Minister for Safeguarding and the Minister for Security have both agreed to the appointment of two new non-executive directors to the Board of the SIA.
