A NEW DAWN IS BREAKING
We focus on meeting the evolving security needs of our clients, providing personalized, hands-on, high-quality security solutions, positively impacting our clients' business performance and growth.
Proactive Security Performance & Compliance
A KPI-Driven Approach to Protecting and Strengthening Your Business
At Lyon Security, we believe security should do more than respond to incidents; it should actively support the performance, stability, and growth of your business.
For this reason, our operations are structured around a proactive Key Performance Indicator (KPI) monitoring system that measures, evaluates, and continually improves the effectiveness of our security teams across every site we protect.
By combining data-driven oversight, real-time monitoring, and strict regulatory compliance, we ensure that our clients receive a security service that is measurable, accountable, and consistently above industry benchmarks.
Measurable Security Performance
Every Lyon Security deployment operates under a clearly defined performance framework. Our control room and management team track operational metrics to assess the reliability and effectiveness of our on-duty officers.
These metrics include:
Core Compliance Mechanism: Guard Monitoring Systems
In South Africa, patrol compliance refers to the verified execution of security rounds against a predefined schedule, primarily regulated by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA).
At Lyon Security, we ensure our team is far above the typical compliance benchmarks. We even secure our place above the Industry standards for high-performance sites, our KPI’s ( Key Performance InIndicators.
We use an electronic system to prove "presence on site," specifically to align with PSIRA patrol compliance, which is the percentage of scheduled checkpoints successfully scanned by security officers during their shifts.
While there is no single, industry-wide mandated percentage set by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA), performance is typically measured against site-specific Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

Factors Affecting Compliance Rates
To maintain high performance levels, Lyon Security uses advanced guard monitoring and surveillance technologies, including:
Digital Guard Monitoring Systems
Checkpoint verification through:
-
QR code checkpoints

Real-Time Control Room Oversight
Our 24/7 control room receives automated alerts whenever:
-
A patrol checkpoint is missed
-
An officer deviates from a patrol route

An incident is reported
This allows supervisors to intervene immediately, ensuring operational consistency.

-
Incident reports
-
Operational summaries

Performance KPI tracking
This ensures full transparency and accountability in our service delivery.
Regulatory Compliance and Professional Standards
Lyon Security operates in full accordance with the regulatory framework governing private security operations in South Africa.

Working as a security officer without PSIRA registration is a criminal offence, and Lyon Security maintains strict internal verification procedures to ensure full regulatory compliance.

-
Regular officer performance reviews
