Strength. Unity. Strategy.
Protection planned
around the client.
A South African close protection and security risk management company. Protective personnel, journey management, medical capability and operational planning in one discreet solution.
Who we are
The work that matters happens before anyone deploys.
Protection is a planning discipline. Officers matter enormously, but they are the last line: the work that keeps a client safe happens days before anyone deploys.
We assess, plan the movement, prepare the people, and keep one line of accountability open throughout.
What we do
Services
Each service stands on its own, and each is designed to work with the others when a requirement needs more than one.
Close Protection
Protective personnel planned around the client's routine, not imposed on it.
Read moreJourney Management
Planned, tracked and supported movement, by road, by air and across borders.
Read moreSecurity Risk Consultancy
Independent advice on what is actually exposed and what to do about it first, whether or not SPS is the one who does it.
Read moreHow we work
Strength. Unity. Strategy.
Three principles that decide how every engagement is staffed, planned and run.
Strength
Capability that has been prepared rather than promised. Personnel who are registered, trained and current; equipment that is accounted for; procedures that have been rehearsed before they are needed.
Unity
Protection is a people business. We work as one team with the client's household, drivers, staff and existing providers, and draw on the wider group when a requirement extends beyond protection alone.
Strategy
Risk understood before it is managed. Assessment, advance work and journey planning come first, so that decisions are made deliberately rather than in the moment.
Integrated capability
Four capabilities. One plan. One accountable partner.
Clients rarely have a purely protective problem. A family office arranging travel needs routes, drivers, medical routing and a point of contact who can answer for all of it.
Because SPS sits within The Quagga Group of Companies, protective personnel, journey management, medical capability and security technology can be planned together and delivered under one arrangement, without the client managing several suppliers.
Within the group
Specialized Medical Solutions
SMS is a separate company within The Quagga Group of Companies, focused on medical training, medical support and operational medical capability.
Where a client's risk profile calls for it, medical capability is planned into the protective arrangement rather than summoned after the fact.
Where we work
African operations, African understanding.
SPS is based in Gauteng, South Africa and operates principally in South Africa, with regional experience across southern Africa, including Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia.
Distances are long, response is uneven, borders take time and infrastructure varies within a single journey. Plans that ignore that fail quietly.
The map alongside plots the wider operational footprint of The Quagga Group, which SPS forms part of and can draw on. It reaches further than SPS's own regional experience above.
Governance
Regulated work, done properly.
Private security in South Africa is a regulated profession. SPS works within that framework and expects clients to verify it.
