BSIA Sections
The BSIA is structured into a number of specialist sections, each representing a specific area of the private security industry. These sections include disciplines such as Security Guarding, CCTV, Access Control, Cybersecurity, Lone Worker Services, and more. Each section brings together members who share common challenges, expertise, and professional focus, providing a dedicated forum for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and strategic development.
By participating in their relevant section(s), BSIA members have the opportunity to shape industry standards, contribute to influential guidance and policy, and stay ahead of technological, regulatory, and market developments. Sections also serve as a collective voice for their segment of the industry, promoting professionalism, highlighting member achievements, and driving positive change. Together, these sections form the backbone of the BSIA’s ability to represent and support the full diversity of the UK’s private security sector.
