9. Progress on matters
Research Projects Outcomes & Findings: Guarding Sector
(to ensure understanding and to enable PSiRA to respond appropriately)
RESEARCH FINDINGS
RESEARCH RECOMMENDATIONS
Non-compliance & Training Deficits
PSiRA should intensify its regulatory framework and training standards
PSiRA database is not sufficient for regulation
PSiRA should invest resources to allow for an interactive database
Working conditions of security officers remains poor
PSiRA should increase and intensify inspections
Current classification of security service providers within PSiRA hinders effective regulation
PSiRA should review the classification system and ensure that the regulation is targeted at a specific category of service
There is a concerning growth of fly-by-night operators, which include the use of unregistered foreign nationals
PSiRA should invoke stricter regulations and consider conducting inspections beyond official working hours to ensure compliance

10. Progress on matters
Research Projects Outcomes & Findings: Electronic Security Sector
(to ensure understanding and to enable PSiRA to respond appropriately)
RESEARCH FINDINGS
RESEARCH RECOMMENDATIONS
Scarcity of information on the rapid growth of the electronic security sector hinders enforcement
PSiRA should ensure that inspectors are trained in this specialised sector in order to ensure compliance with the law
Definition of an “electronic security equipment” is currently not sufficient
PSiRA should ensure that all electronic security systems (beyond the monitoring devices) are covered
Many companies dealing with electronic security equipment operate without being registered with PSiRA
PSiRA should ensure public awareness on the legal requirement for registration as security providers to those companies dealing in electronic security equipment
PSiRA database does not have a category of “electronic security”
PSiRA should have a specific regulations dealing with all these categories as they fall under the electronic security sector
Absence of regulations which focuses on the electronic security sector remains a cause for concern
PSiRA should develop regulations (informed by research and possibly the PSiRA Amendment Bill)

11. Progress on matters SIA Annual Fees Court Case
The Supreme Court of Appeal upheld the Appeal by SIA to set aside the Annual Fees Regulations introduced in 2012
New proposed Annual Fees Regulations for 2015 published for comments on 20 February 2015
New proposed regulations took on board comments , arguments by the SCA and PAJA
Consultations open for 4 weeks including Consultative workshops across all 9 provinces
All stakeholders including SIA to be consulted extensively
Final new Annual fees regulations to be effective from April or May 2015
Refunds and credits notes to be adjudicated after the finalisation of the proposed new annual fees

12. Progress on matters Backlog on criminal investigations
SAPS requested to update on status of all PSiRA criminal cases registered countrywide
Detective Branch reviewed status of criminal cases on CAS register and confirmed that the project is almost completed – awaiting final report
Still awaiting case list of finalised cases from SAPS

13. Progress on matters
Intelligence Gathering Activities by Security Service Providers
State Security Agency(SSA) in collaboration with PSiRA to conduct an audit of service providers with interception and monitoring capabilities
SSA to provide PSiRA Inspectorate with training on the identification and monitoring of security service providers with interception and monitoring capabilities
Surveys and research projects to be commissioned to inform future policy development and legislation around the misuse and or contraventions of laws governing interception and monitoring with the private security industry

14. Progress on matters Risk Management Exercise for PSiRA
The Authority conducted a comprehensive operating risk analysis process with all the programmes in November 2014 and compiled a risk register 
Risks were identified and each was rated in terms of impact and likelihood to determine the inherent risk level
Risk mitigation strategies were identified for each risk to rate each risk with the controls in place to determine the residual risk level
If the risk required a further reduction - future controls were identified to be implemented
The risk register is a living document which will be reviewed continuously
Strategic risks were identified during the Strategic Planning sessions held in January 2015
