About Alcatraz Security

Alcatraz Security is in a joint venture with PPA (Professional Protection Alternatives) that aims to take care of security requirements in the greater Mossel Bay area. The association with PPA boosts our ability to provide quality services covering a wide spectrum of security needs for our clients.

Professional Protection Alternatives
Alcatraz Security – ASG

Alcatraz Security Group, trading as Alcatraz Security, was established in 2024 in response to the rising high crime rate in South Africa and with the sole purpose of providing security services to all its clients. Notwithstanding the primary objective being the provision of security, Alcatraz Security is also aimed at creating employment opportunities and growing the economy of South Africa.

The establishment of Alcatraz Security is also the result of the high unemployment rate in South Africa as well as the government's efforts to create an environment for the previously disadvantaged groups to participate meaningfully in the mainstream economy. It is on this basis that the shareholders of Alcatraz Security resolved to bring an insightful and appropriate solution to the industry, and to advance the fight against crime in South Africa and to further supplement the service offered by the SAPS.

Tactical Armed Response
Garden Walk Mall Promotion
We offer security services for retail areas such as shops and shopping centres.

Retail and Shopping Centres

Shopping centres are busy places, and it is difficult to monitor every area. Where possible, booms and entrance gates should act as a first defence. Whatever you need, we have a solution.

We are the official security suppliers for Garden Walk Mall, which opens on Thursday, 26 March 2026.

24-hour security services

24-hour Control

There is no point having security staff available only during office hours. Crime mostly takes place out of the public eye. We offer round the clock security services, meaning your assets are always on our watch. Whether it is an office, retail centre, a home, or any other area that needs protection, we ensure it remains safe, preventing unwanted access.

Access control allows restricted movement and access

Access Control

Our guards ensure access control is managed properly. Unless authorised by means of an access card, or with prior approval, our guards will not allow anyone to pass through security gates or booms, no matter who they claim to be. We train our staff to be vigilant. If unsure, they retain the right to deny anyone access.

Agri Watch looks after your farm.

Agri Watch

We are committed to ensuring that our farms or other areas where products are grown for human consumption are protected. Agri Watch will take care of farmsteads, watch over cultivated lands, and keep an eye on livestock. We also provide owners with the knowhow to improve their own security.

Looking for security services for your business property? Our dedicated teams are placed permanently for your peace of mind.

Business Property Security

Looking for security services for your business property? Our dedicated teams are placed permanently for your peace of mind. We take care of your business, whether you are there or not. In fact, when offices are not filled with workers, crime is more likely to occur.

Criminal and Credit Check

Criminal and Credit Check

Before you appoint any employee, no matter the position they will hold, a criminal and credit check is important. It is easy to lie about your past. We check the applicant's criminal record for signs of trouble and will also do a credit check to validate financial information.

Cyber Security

Cyber Security

Lucrative crimes take place in cyber space – where money is to be made selling your online information. We counter this by providing unparalleled cyber security functions using the latest technology. We uncover traces left behind that criminals thought were wiped.

Forensic Investigations

Forensic Investigations

We get behind the obvious, and things overlooked by others. Our team of experts conduct forensic tests to dig deep into and beyond the facts produced, and find the real answers. A fingerprint left on a glass, a hair found on a couch, a whiff of perfume that remained.

Our in-service training is continuous, meaning our staff are trained to the highest requirements.

In-service Training

Our staff receive the very latest in training so that they are prepared for all events. Criminals change their tactics, and we need to be one step ahead of them at all times. All our guards have the required licencing to carry firearms but will seldom use them, relying on presence to deter crime.

Polygraph Check

Polygraph Checks

The idea that a polygraph test is only used to test if someone is lying is not true. It is used just as much to show someone is telling the truth. We conduct polygraph tests only as a last resort, having exhausted all other avenues. The truth is out there, and we will find it.

Ensure the safety of any area where risks of theft and damage have to be managed.

Risk Management Strategies

Ensure the safety of any area where risks of theft and damage have to be managed. A risk is a perceived threat, and it must be managed. Along with our in-service training, our staff learn how to assess risks and then manage them. This calls for tact and experience to assess a situation, so that the right call is made.

Protect your visitors and guests during special events, no matter what type or where they are held.

Special Events Management

Protect your visitors and guests during special events, no matter what type or where they are held. Let us protect your special event. You may plan a concert, a sports event, or any gathering. Let us take care of your peace of mind and avoid potential catastrophe.

We offer VIP protection services for individuals and groups, ensuring you peace of mind wherever you are.

VIP Escorts

We offer VIP protection services for individuals and groups, ensuring you peace of mind wherever you are. Ensure the safety of your visitors and important persons by contacting us to provide VIP protection. We have highly trained individuals who know how to blend in an environment and remain invisible when required, but also when to stand out and send a warning to potential attackers. VIP protection is a specialised area of security services.

Team

Our Team

Our team consists of dedicated individuals who are specialists in their respective fields, ranging from boots-on-the-ground security experience, firearm usage, and conflict management. Our association with PPA (Professional Protection Alternatives) has opened up tremendous opportunities to better serve our community. Below are some random images. We will add more on a regular basis.

Alcatraz Security Statistics

Security is an essential service

We are often asked why the existence of private security firms is necessary. The sad truth is that crime is so rife in South Africa that our own state-governed forces are at best ill-equipped and poorly trained for the job. According to AfriForum, security services should be classified as essential services. [ See article... ]

Private security firms outnumber SAPS 4:1, and a unified strategy is therefore essential for community safety in South Africa.

Like many other security firms, we fill the gap where government fails to protect its citizens and their possessions. However, unlike many other security firms, we do not want to be seen as a threatening presence but rather as your community friend. To this end, we strive to work in the background, without putting focus on ourselves.

We work with our clients and assist them to become even more security conscious while we take care of their overall security strategy.
