Security Guards Deployed Across South Africa — Run From Our Midrand HQ
IPS supplies PSIRA-registered security guards for businesses, estates, industrial sites and events nationwide. From our Midrand command centre we deploy armed and unarmed officers across Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and beyond — vetted, supervised and on post within 24–72 hours.
Licensed, PSIRA-Registered Security Guards You Can Trust
Every officer we deploy carries a valid PSIRA card and clears SAPS vetting — no exceptions, no "ghost" guards.
Security Guards From Our Midrand Head Office to All of South Africa
The Gauteng Anchor — National Firepower
When you hire security guards from IPS, you deploy officers who are SAPS-vetted, PSIRA-registered, properly trained and accountable to a live control room — not casual labour. Based at our head office at 546 16th Road, Constantia Park, Midrand, we sit at the centre of South Africa's busiest economic corridor, bridging Johannesburg, Pretoria and Sandton with rapid, intelligence-led deployment.
From that Midrand anchor our footprint extends nationwide. We supply armed and unarmed guarding for corporate head offices, residential estates, construction sites, logistics depots, hotels and large events — adapting every plan to the local risk profile, from the industrial belts of the East Rand to the regional hubs of Polokwane and Nelspruit and the coastal nodes of Durban and Cape Town.
