Security company in Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) — PSIRA-registered business guarding for factories, retail and corporate campuses.

Rates depend on post type, hours of coverage and armed vs unarmed officers. A continuous 24/7 unarmed guarding post (patrol, access control or retail) runs R47 500 per month and a 24/7 armed post R49 000 per month; day-only or part-shift posts cost less. Warhawk quotes off a full site assessment — no per-hour surprises and no hidden admin fees. See our security guard cost breakdown for the detail.

Yes. Warhawk Security is registered with PSIRA (registration 4788568), SAPS (26359), and is CIPC, CSD, PSSPF and NBCPSS compliant. We supply the full compliance pack on request — ready to drop into any tender file.

Yes. Coega is a special economic zone next to the Port of Ngqura, so guarding there is built around controlled access, driver and load verification at the gate, and documented shift handovers that stand up to a client or port audit. Warhawk supplies PSIRA-graded officers, a named site manager and written occurrence records for every shift.

These older mixed industrial belts sit tight against main routes and residential areas, so the recurring risks are perimeter breaches after hours, copper and non-ferrous theft, and load pilferage during shift changes. We typically combine a manned access post during operating hours with GPS-tracked internal patrols and a locked-down after-hours regime, including verified lock-up checks.

We cover greater Gqeberha end-to-end — Central, Newton Park, Walmer, Summerstrand, Humewood, North End, Sidwell, Korsten, Deal Party, Markman, Greenbushes, Perseverance, Struandale, Kabega Park and Framesby — plus Despatch, Uitenhage (Kariega) and Jeffreys Bay.

Yes. Warhawk deploys PSIRA-graded armed and unarmed officers to match the risk profile of each site — from unarmed reception and access posts to armed static and patrol officers on higher-risk sites.

Yes. Email admin@warhawk.co.za with your RFP and site details or request a proposal via our contact form. We reply within one business day with a costed, PSIRA-compliant guarding proposal.

Most Gqeberha sites are walked and costed within one business day of your enquiry, and a standard single-post deployment is typically on site within 48–72 hours of sign-off. Larger multi-post or Coega SEZ deployments follow a written posting plan agreed before the first officer starts.

Yes. We handle the handover: a site walk-through, a gap assessment of the current posting plan, officer induction on your site rules, and reporting that starts from day one — so there is no coverage gap between contractors.

Yes. We staff manufacturing, logistics and OEM supplier sites across Kariega (Uitenhage), Despatch and the R334 corridor. Our officers are briefed on shift-change pressure points, pedestrian access control and the audit standards common to VW, Isuzu and Coega-linked suppliers.

Start with a risk walk: cash on site, high-value stock, isolated perimeter, previous incidents and insurance requirements all push the grade upward. Unarmed officers handle access control, patrol and retail/warehouse presence. Armed officers are reserved for higher-risk cash, asset or perimeter posts. We recommend the grade in writing after the assessment, never a one-size-fits-all posting.

Ask for the company PSIRA number and check it online. Ask whether officers are directly employed or subcontracted, who answers the phone at 02:00, what the monthly report looks like, and whether armed reaction is in-house or through an accredited third-party partner. A compliant company will answer in writing before you sign.

Yes. Retail, logistics and event clients in PE often need extra cover over festive periods or month-end dispatch windows. We build a base posting plus a scalable surge clause into the SLA, so additional officers can be added without renegotiating the whole contract.

Every site has a named site manager and a 24/7 operations line. The officer logs the incident in the occurrence book, patrols are redirected if needed, and serious breaches are escalated to a vetted third-party armed reaction provider with agreed response times written into the SLA. You receive a written incident report the next business day.
