About ACT RED
ACT RED
ACT is a leader in the provision of military, paramilitary, personal, and business safety services and has been providing safety and security solutions and training in challenging environments both locally and internationally for over 9 years.
As independent specialists, we have established ACT RED to deal with the glaring gaps within integrated security systems that we encounter in our work on a daily basis.
We have designed this programme to check and enhance the services of your existing providers, not replace them.
Why ACT RED?
Your business or residential estate may have invested a great deal in the most sophisticated security system, but without the expertise or resources to adequately test its effectiveness, how do you know if it is capable of withstanding attacks?
Ask yourself:
Do your policies and procedures address the unique threats to your particular property or security system?
Are your security staff adequately and regularly trained and motivated to perform when required?
Is the integrity of your system regularly tested and assessed by an independent security specialist?
Is your technology outdated?
Is your technology appropriate for your particular property?
Is every layer of your security solution fully integrated and functioning property?
ACT RED supports your on-site security manager and day-to-day service providers with "critical security management functions" to mitigate threats, increase readiness and ensure effectiveness - around the clock.

What is 'RED Team Testing'?
Red Team Testing is aimed at revealing real-world opportunities that would allow malicious insiders and criminals to compromise security systems.
This type of test takes the form of an attack simulation and tests the various components of a security system. It is carried out by our highly trained security consultants.
Red Team Testing forms the core of our quality assurance programme and helps us to:
Identify physical and human vulnerabilities
Obtain a more realistic understanding of risk for your residential estate or commercial property
Helps us to address and fix all identified security weaknesses
Ensures readiness of your security personnel and keeps motivation high
Why should we use ACT RED
The biggest challenge facing business and residential properties today is identifying and managing threats to the property, along with ensuring the safety of residents and visitors on the property. Because of this, security has become one of the fastest growing industries in South Africa and it’s difficult to know which one to use when it comes to protecting your property and those on it.
ACT will assist in identifying threats to your property’s security and using our extensive knowledge of modern security technology, along with experience in training security personnel around the world, will put the most cost-effective security system in place. In addition, you can be assured that ACT will perform ongoing evaluations of systems and policies in place while providing constant training to security personnel.
We provide ongoing threat assessment by meeting regularly with security and other staff on the property, the local Neighbourhood Watch, and SAPS. This information is then used to provide you with advice on how best to deal with these threats
As security personnel is crucial to keeping properties safe, ACT provides on-site training specific to the role of the guard. Guards are also presented with actual situations that they might face through role-playing, as well as being trained to problem-solve any situation as a team
ACT will perform ongoing evaluations to assess your integrated security solution to ensure both the systems and personnel are ready to combat threats and are in compliance with their respective security maintenance agreements. Any system and capability weaknesses are shared with you in order to initiate corrective actions and training
Our experience in training security personnel around the world as well as our knowledge of how criminals work positions ACT perfectly to independently evaluate security suppliers and advise on which supplier would be the best for you
ACT revises security policies and procedures on a regular basis, allowing managers to control events in advance and prevent costly life-threatening mistakes
ACT works with security service providers on an ongoing basis to improve their services and any deficiencies or shortcomings are tabled in regular written reports, along with recommendations for improvements
