About us

About The Security Zone Limited

At TSZ, our mission is:

“To be the trusted partner in securing what you cherish,
using cutting edge operational risk solutions”

We strive to achieve this in all aspects of our business for the benefit of every customer.

The Security Zone (TSZ) was incorporated in August 2009. The company is involved in all facets of security and operational risk management, providing products and services ranging from physical security analysis and planning to installation and maintenance of complex electronic security systems.

In the area of electronic security, TSZ functions in four main capacities – supplier, installer, integrator and maintenance service provider. We have been instrumental in the installation and maintenance of two of the largest CCTV networks in the country (The Ministry of National Security and The Water and Sewerage Authority of Trinidad and Tobago) and have developed considerable experience in access control and intrusion alarm systems. We offer these services to clients in both the public and private sectors, including small business and residential customers.

TSZ also offers operational risk consulting services, which focus on safety, security and loss prevention. This arm of the business assists clients in identifying areas of vulnerability and seeks to develop risk mitigation solutions. In this regard, we address areas of business operations that involve risk, such as physical security concerns (access control, manpower deployment, security lighting and ergonomics), exposure to fraud, pre-employment screening and regulatory compliance.

In March of 2014, TSZ opened its Retail Store, which offers the widest range of security and safety products locally available in a single location. Items available at the store include analog and IP camera systems, alarms, door locks (keypad and fingerprint reader), safes, security uniforms and accessories, GPS units and a variety of spyware gadgets.
