The National Security Inspectorate (N.S.I) is an independent, not-for-profit approvals
body providing inspection services for the security and fire industries.
For over
30 years, N.S.I (NACOSS) has been protecting the customer by insisting on the highest
standards and operating the toughest inspection regime. Companies are inspected regularly
by highly qualified, full-time inspectors, to prove their ongoing competence.
Why
the Police, Insurers and many other organisations trust N.S.I companies to do the
job properly:
- quality delivery - highest performance standards in the UK, inspected by toughest
inspection regime
- security vetting - security staff are strictly vetted
- training - high level of staff training and supervision
- maintenance and callout - companies have to deliver quality service/maintenance (24/7
4-hour response)
- police response - NSI approved security systems companies are authorised to install
Police-calling systems
- false alarms - NSI approved companies are required to design systems to minimise
false alarms
- deterrence - a high criminal awareness and avoidance of premises protected by NSI
companies
- customer care - NSI offers an independent technical arbitration service
NSI approved companies must prove their competence on an on-going basis. They may
not always be the cheapest, but they are invariably
the best.

- meet all relevant British and European Standards for technical performance
- provide a high level of staff training and supervision to industry best practice
standards
- are comprehensively insured to protect customers and staff
- are inspected every six months by professional auditors including random site visits
