The Private Security Industry Regulation Authority (PSiRA) is responsible for regulating the private security industry in South Africa. Its main objective is to exercise control over the practice of security service providers in the public and national interest, as well as in the interest of the industry itself. The authority's mandate is derived from the Private Security Industry Regulation Act of 2001.

PSiRA has developed an online platform called PSiRA's Online Services, which is designed to facilitate interactions between the private security industry providers and the authority. This platform allows security providers to schedule bookings with PSiRA and enables users to verify the registration status of security providers who work at their homes or workplaces. It also provides features such as the ability to interact with PSiRA through social media, receive notifications about news related to the private security industry, and find PSiRA offices using a navigation system. The platform also offers information on PSiRA's services and how to register with the regulator.

It is important to note that some features of PSiRA's Online Services require internet access to function. If internet access is limited or unavailable, these services will not be available until internet access is restored. The authority encourages users to provide feedback on the app and expresses gratitude for downloading it.
