Close protection & tactical security for VIPs, estates and blue-chip companies
The work of protection. From the field.
Tactical protection for the people and places that matter most: VIPs and high-net-worth families, luxury and wine estates, corporations and blue-chip companies. One company for every layer of your security, from CCTV and monitoring to tactical response and close protection, delivered to a first-class standard by our own people. When riots or unrest put people and property at risk, our clients are already covered.
Standard security isn't good enough for what you have to protect.
In South Africa, security isn't a luxury. For VIPs, high-net-worth families, blue-chip corporations, luxury residential estates and wine estate owners, the threats are real, evolving, and often underestimated. We deliver tactical protection built on military-grade methodology: tactical response teams, high-risk deployment units, aerial drone surveillance, and elite K9 units, coordinated in real time by our Tactical Operations Center.
This isn't a guard at a gate. It's a security ecosystem designed around your property, your risk profile, and your peace of mind.
Trusted by leading blue-chip companies, private families, estates, and residential communities, we deliver the same standard of protection whether the asset is a boardroom, a brand, or a bloodline. Threats don't wait, and neither do we.
Readiness
Armed, trained officers and vehicles ready to respond around the clock.
Prevention
Risk assessments, visible patrols, and intelligence that stop incidents before they escalate.
Restraint
Force that is lawful, necessary, and proportionate, with the preservation of life first.
Accountability
Written incident reports, time-stamped logs, and regular service reviews with every client.
Who we protect
Seven environments. One first-class standard.
Our focus is high-end clients and first-class service. Each environment carries its own risks, so we build every deployment around the property, the people on it, and the threats it actually faces.

Protection for the Cape Winelands' leading estates: guests, owners, cellars, staff, events and wide vineyard boundaries, covered from the ground and the air.
A capability few security companies can offer. When riots, unrest or industrial action hit, our trained tactical teams deploy to protect people, secure access points and keep operations running where it is safe, so our clients are covered when it matters most.
Private farms, game land and large holdings where boundaries run for kilometres. Aerial overwatch, K9 patrols, and teams that cover ground fast. Our OSG Intel platform tracks the reconnaissance that comes before a farm attack.

Every trip is planned, protected and tracked 24/7 by our Tactical Operations Center.
We secure development sites from the day the land is handed over until the last unit is complete. Each layer goes in as the project needs it: fence, cameras, guarding, access control and tactical units, all run by one team and one Tactical Operations Center. When the project is complete, we stay on as the estate's security, with no changeover.

24/7Staffed
01Detect
Every camera, alarm, fence sensor, drone and vehicle tracker feeds one platform. Paveer AI watches all of it at once and flags people, vehicles and unusual movement.
02Verify
An operator checks every alert on camera or by drone, and confirms with the client's safe word, so real threats are acted on and false alarms are cleared fast.
03Dispatch
The nearest Tactical Response Unit is sent with a tactical unit, drone pilot and K9, and the team sees what the operator sees on the way in.
04Overwatch
The TOC stays on the incident: drone overwatch, live camera feeds, contact with SAPS and the client until the scene is secure.
05Report
Every alert, call, dispatch and arrival is time-stamped and logged to OSG Intel, and the client receives a written report within 24 hours.
What makes our TOC different
One AI platform. Paveer AI brings every camera, alarm, drone and vehicle into one screen, instead of operators switching between systems.
Never fatigued. The AI watches every feed every second of the night. Operators are freed to judge and act, not to stare at screens.
Linked to intelligence. Faces, vehicles and incidents are checked against OSG Intel, so a returning suspect is recognised.
Our own response. The TOC dispatches our own Tactical Response Units, K9 and drones.
OSG Intel
Every incident. Every suspect. One system.
OSG Intel is our own intelligence platform. Every incident our teams attend and every suspect they encounter is logged, mapped, cross-checked and used to predict where crime will strike next, across every site we protect. It already holds more than 200 suspect profiles.

Farm attacks
Most attacks are planned. Planning leaves a trail.
Farm attacks are rarely random. Attackers watch a farm first: a vehicle that passes too often, strangers asking for work, a fence that has been cut or tested, questions about who lives on the farm and when. On its own each sign looks harmless. In OSG Intel they are logged, linked and matched across every farm and estate we protect, so the pattern is seen before the attack.
01Reconnaissance spotted
Officers, farm staff and neighbours report anything unusual, straight from their phones or WhatsApp.
02Matched
Vehicles, faces and descriptions are cross-checked against more than 200 suspect profiles and incidents on neighbouring farms.
03Predicted
Patterns show which farm is being watched and when attackers are most likely to move.
04Acted on
Tactical Response Units, K9 and drones are on that farm before it happens, and information is shared with SAPS and the local farm watch.
01
Live incident map
Every call-out, sighting and alarm is logged by the team on the ground and pinned to the map: time, place, type, photos, and what was done.
02
Crime pattern prediction
Incidents are analysed by place, day and hour to show where and when crime is most likely next, so patrols, K9 and drones are deployed before it happens.
03
Suspect cross-check
A photo, description or vehicle is checked against every profile and every site we protect, including facial recognition, in seconds.
04
Suspect profiles and link analysis
Known suspects have a profile with their vehicles, associates and incidents, and the links between them reveal the groups behind repeat crime.
05
In the field and at the TOC
Officers log from their phones, or report straight from WhatsApp, while the Tactical Operations Center sees it live. Client reports are built from the record, and case information can be shared with SAPS when needed.
Access is limited to authorised ONE personnel, and personal information is handled under POPIA. The data shown above is a sample with no real people or places.

1. Who we are
ONE Security Group (Pty) Ltd (registration 2017/322137/07, PSIRA 2751385) is the responsible party for personal information collected through this website, in terms of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).
Addresses: ONE Security Group, R45, Simondium, 7670, South Africa
ONE Security Group, Sandton, Johannesburg, 2196, South Africa Telephone: 073 248 1397 · 083 706 5750
Information Officer: Jarryd Magrath, Chief Executive Officer · ceo@onesecurityafrica.com
2. What we collect and why
Enquiry form
Name, phone number, email address, the service you are interested in and your message. Used to respond to you and, if you ask, to prepare a quotation.
Site assessment
Your contact details, the location, type and size of the property, existing security measures, recent incidents and the people on site. Used to plan and carry out the assessment and to quote. Because this describes how a property is protected, we treat it as confidential security information.
Technical call-outs
Name, contact details, property address, the system and the fault you describe. Used to arrange and carry out the call-out.
Job applications
Name, contact details, the role, years of experience, PSIRA grade and firearm competency. Used to assess your application. If you are shortlisted, we verify your PSIRA registration and run background checks, which may include a criminal record check.
Range leaderboard
The name you enter and your score. These are shown publicly on the leaderboard, so use a first name or nickname if you prefer.
Supplying information is voluntary. If you leave out required fields we may not be able to respond, assess your property or consider your application.
3. Our legal basis
We process your information with your consent, which you give by ticking the box on each form, and where it is needed to take steps towards a contract you have asked about (POPIA section 11). Background and criminal record checks on applicants are done with the applicant's consent and to meet our obligations under the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001 and the Firearms Control Act 60 of 2000 (POPIA sections 26 and 27, and 33 for criminal behaviour).
4. Who we share it with
Only our own staff who need it to deal with your request. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.
We use service providers (operators) for website hosting, form storage, email, and advertising and website measurement (Google Ads and Google Analytics). They may only process your information on our instructions and must keep it secure (POPIA sections 20 and 21). For recruitment checks, we share applicant details with PSIRA and with accredited background-screening providers. We disclose information to SAPS or other authorities only where the law requires it.
5. Information sent outside South Africa
Some of our hosting and email providers may store data on servers outside South Africa. Where that happens, we only use providers bound by laws or written agreements that give protection substantially similar to POPIA (section 72).
6. How long we keep it
Enquiries that don't lead to a contract
12 months, then deleted.
Site assessments and quotations
For as long as the quotation or any resulting contract runs, and up to 5 years afterwards where tax or other law requires us to keep records.
Unsuccessful job applications
12 months, so we can contact you about future roles, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. Criminal record results are deleted once the check is complete.
Leaderboard entries
Until you ask us to remove them.
7. How we protect it
Access is limited to the staff who need it and is protected by passwords and access controls. We handle site assessment details with the same discipline as client safe words, access codes and key holder lists. If we believe your information has been accessed without authorisation, we will notify you and the Information Regulator as POPIA section 22 requires.
8. Marketing
We will not send you marketing unless you are a client or have asked for it, and every message will tell you how to opt out (POPIA section 69).
9. Cookies and browser storage
We use two Google measurement tools. The Google Ads tag tells us when someone who clicked one of our Google ads goes on to send an enquiry or tap a phone number, so we can see which ads work. Google Analytics tells us, in aggregate, how many people visit, how they found us, which pages and services they look at, and which forms they send, so we can improve the site. Neither tool receives the content of the forms you send us. These tools set Google cookies in your browser for this purpose. We do not allow ad personalisation. You can object at any time: the button below switches the Google Ads and Analytics cookies off on this device and saves that choice in your browser (the saved setting contains no personal information). You can also clear cookies in your browser settings.
10. Your rights
You may ask us, free of charge, to confirm whether we hold personal information about you and to see it, to correct or delete it, to stop using it or object to how we use it, and to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already done. Send your request to the Information Officer above. We will respond within 30 days and may ask you to confirm your identity first.
Requests for records under the Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (PAIA) can be sent to the same address. Our PAIA manual is available on request.
11. Complaints
Please contact our Information Officer first so we can put things right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa:
This website is not intended for anyone under 18, and job applicants must be 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect children's information through it.
13. Changes
We will update this notice when our practices change and show the new date at the top.
We use a Google Ads cookie to measure which of our ads bring enquiries, only if you allow it. Your details are only used to respond to you, in line with POPIA. Privacy notice
