The security pressures faced by banking and financial institutions are increasing as customers’ methods of accessing and using services are evolving and broadening. Customers demand instantaneous and constant availability. In providing this you expose your systems and data to new vulnerabilities and threats from hackers, the result being potential theft, fraud, as well as downtime.
You need security monitoring and solutions that not only protect your physical assets but also offer you data security and access control. Southern Cross Protection can cater to your physical and cyber security needs, help you safeguard against emerging threats, and have plans in place for business continuity.

Governments, government departments and agencies face increased security responsibilities.

For quality healthcare security you need an integrated approach. Whether you are operating a hospital, an aged care facility or other healthcare facilities, your security requirements likely overlap. You need a way to cohesively protect your people and patients, your restricted stock and your sensitive and private records.
At Southern Cross Protection, we understand that every moment you have to spend complying with security procedures is time you could be spending treating and assisting your patients or residents. We aim to minimise this and find the right balance when protecting your staff, patients, visitors, and assets.
Protecting facilities, equipment and personnel in manufacturing, mining, energy and other industrial activities poses many unique challenges.

We provide services Australia wide; no matter where your operations are located, you can get the security solution you need.
Securing your commercial properties or facilities requires an integrated and tailored approach. Your security solution must be suitable to the layout of your property, support and not disrupt your tenants, and protect the property from unauthorised access.
Do you need to deter intruders and would-be vandals or thieves, while also reassuring staff and visitors that their working environment is fully supported, safe and secure? Will your property benefit from adding competent and modern security elements such as access control, monitored alarms and CCTV? Southern Cross Protection can be engaged to tailor a specific security solution for your property.

About Us
-
To keep up with the rapid change the retail industry is undergoing, it is undeniable that businesses such as ours need to do things differently. Price wars and constant promotions to grab market share continue to put pressure on margins. Loss prevention and shrinkage management have a direct impact to those margins, helping create a competitive advantage against retailers that do not manage them. Our partnership with Charter Security (part of the Southern Cross Protection Group) over the past 17 years working on loss prevention has resulted in lower shrinkage and a safer working environment for our staff and customers. This long term relationship has raised security standards in the retail industry.

From the moment the team stepped on-site, they knew our event inside out. All guards were in position well before the rostered times, all staff were happy, pleasant, and smiling, and enjoying their tasks. In addition to all being incredibly friendly, many assisted with other tasks of radioing when stocks at the door were running low, and handing out of lanyards, show bags, and catalogues to our visitors. This was never asked of them but something they all took the initiative to do. Having a team like this on-site instills enormous confidence in us, knowing that the job will always be addressed and get done to a high standard. We look forward to working with this team again. We have nicknamed these guys ‘The A-Team’.
