A Legacy of Protection Since 1939

At Thompsons Security, we believe security is more than just presence — it’s purpose. For over 4 generations + 80 years, we’ve stood on the front lines of safety in South Africa, protecting families, estates, businesses, and high-risk sites with discipline, integrity, and innovation. Founded in 1939, our company has grown from a local guarding operation into a nationally recognized security force — offering everything from armed reaction and on-site patrols to advanced surveillance, fire response, and tactical intervention. We are a family-run business built on trust, driven by excellence, and powered by people. Every officer, operator, and advisor in our team is PSIRA-certified, highly trained, and committed to one goal: keeping what matters most, safe. Whether you're managing a gated estate, overseeing a logistics hub, or safeguarding your business — Thompsons offers tailored solutions backed by 24/7 support, rapid deployment, and decades of experience.
