CerticCS is a well recognised brand amongst leading organisations. We work with organisations operating across electronic security systems, guarding and specialist services, such as cash-in-transit. We support businesses of varying sizes and operational complexity. And we understand the practical realities of operating in regulated and high-trust environments. We tailor our approach accordingly.
About our organisation
Launched in Dublin in January 2009, CerticCS is a certification brand operated by Insight Certification, a not-for-profit organisation delivering independent third-party certification services to the security and fire sectors.
Insight Certification also operates in the United Kingdom through the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) brand, which has been supporting security and fire sector certification for more than 50 years.
Through CerticCS, we provide certification services to organisations operating across the Republic of Ireland, supporting compliance with recognised industry standards and certification requirements associated with PSA licensing.
We have worked alongside the Private Security Authority (PSA) for many years as an independent certification body, helping organisations demonstrate competence, professionalism and compliance within regulated sectors of the Irish security industry.
How we work with the PSA
The PSA is central to CerticCS’s certification services, which provide independent third-party assessment supporting organisations seeking to demonstrate compliance with PSA-related requirements.
