Armed security · South Africa

Armed capability.
Controlled before deployment.

LOKD separates fixed-site Armed guarding from movement protection. Each assignment needs a documented risk reason, lawful provider and firearm controls, current officer evidence, approved post or movement orders and Operations ownership.

Two different operating models

Static protection is not movement work.

The service type determines the workforce, equipment, planning, supervision and evidence that must be costed and approved.

01 · FIXED SITE

Armed static guarding

A controlled Armed post at one approved site. Post orders define duties, exclusions, issue-and-return controls, escalation and supervision.

From R 5 686 · no VAT chargedOrdinary single shift · final price depends on risk, calendar and roster
02 · MOVEMENT

Armed movement protection

A planned route, timing window and handover for valuable assets or exposed movements. This is not an armed-response subscription.

From R 8 166 · no VAT chargedClient vehicle · ordinary single movement · minimum planning

Non-negotiable controls

Evidence must remain current through the shift.

An Armed interest, high PSiRA grade or previous experience never bypasses LOKD's assignment gate. If required evidence expires or a control changes, the affected offer or activation blocks.

Approved business and service authority

Current PSiRA and firearm competency

Monthly Armed readiness evidence

Assignment-specific risk and orders

Controlled equipment issue and return

Commercial readiness confirmed

Pricing boundary

Partner and vehicle costs cannot be guessed.

Travel, supplied vehicles, armoured partner capacity, overnight work and urgent mobilisation are priced separately. An armoured-vehicle estimate remains held for Operations review until a current supplier quote is attached; payment cannot clear against the placeholder.
