Big news today as we announce that our CEO, Satia Rai, has been named in the Top 100 Outstanding Role Model List 2025!

Today on White Ribbon Day (25 November), as our feeds spotlight Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), we recognise the International Day for its elimination - a day that carries personal importance for me.

At today’s Safer Business Network (SBN) event, I saw real action - a dedicated VAWG training module designed to educate, prevent, intervene, and stop violence. Kudos to Andrew MacAlpine, Eren Bessim, SBN team,

Sexist jokes, catcalling, staring, and comments might seem harmless, but they are serious because they can lead to violence and abuse. This White Ribbon Day 2025, we want more men to use their voices and speak up to create a world where everyone is safe, e

IPSA Corporate members  Professional Security  have launched the first-of-its-kind campaign designed to tackle male suicide in the security industry. No Guard Alone is a commitment to changing devasting statistics of suicide within our industry, ensuring that no guard ever has to face their struggles in silence and no manager will feel powerless to help.  The campaign is about moving from silence to support, stigma to systems, and isolation to community.
