Headquartered in Mothotlung, Brits, North West Province, our operations span physical security, securities brokerage and dealing, commodity contracts intermediation, and financial investment advisory — a unique combination that allows clients to manage both their physical and financial security under one trusted partner.
Rare combination of physical security, financial brokerage, commodity contracts, and insurance under one roof — eliminating the need for multiple service providers and ensuring seamless coordination.

All client information, financial data, and security assessments are handled with the highest levels of confidentiality, governed by strict internal data protection policies and relevant legislation.
Our brokerage and investment advisory services are guided by research, market intelligence, and disciplined risk management — with a clear focus on delivering measurable outcomes for our clients.
Whether you need physical security, financial brokerage, or investment advisory, our team is ready to develop a customised solution that meets your exact requirements.
Our heritage, leadership, values, and vision for a more secure and financially empowered South Africa.
SICH Protection (Pty) Ltd was established with a clear and compelling purpose: to provide South African businesses, institutions, and individuals with a trustworthy, capable partner that integrates physical protection with financial security services.
Operating under the parent entity SICH PROTECTION (PTY) LTD (Registration: K2017438517, incorporated October 2017), SICH Protection has grown from its North West Province roots into a respected multi-sector firm with national client relationships.
Our founders identified a critical gap in the South African market: businesses needed to manage physical security threats and financial market risks simultaneously, yet were forced to engage multiple separate service providers — resulting in inefficiencies, inconsistent service, and increased costs. SICH Protection was created to solve this problem comprehensively.
Today, our integrated platform serves corporate clients, financial institutions, small and medium enterprises, and private investors who value consolidated expertise, regulatory compliance, and personalised service delivered by professionals who genuinely understand South African market conditions.
To deliver integrated security and financial services that protect our clients' physical assets, financial interests, and operational continuity — through professional excellence, regulatory compliance, and unwavering ethical standards.
We are committed to empowering South African businesses and individuals with the tools, expertise, and confidence to secure their present and grow their future — in every sense of the word.
To be Southern Africa's most trusted and respected integrated protection and financial services group — recognised for innovation, integrity, and the measurable positive impact we deliver to clients, communities, and the broader economy.
We envision a South Africa where every business, regardless of size, can access world-class security, brokerage, and financial advisory services from a single, accountable, and empowered partner.

Discuss Your RequirementsProfessional financial investment advisory, securities management, and commodity investment strategies for individuals and institutions.
SICH Protection's investment advisory division operates under the broader framework of Securities, Commodity Contracts, and Other Financial Investments and Related Activities — providing clients with professional, research-driven investment guidance across a wide range of asset classes and financial instruments.
Our investment philosophy is grounded in three core principles: disciplined risk management, portfolio diversification, and long-term value creation. We serve individual investors, family offices, business owners seeking to grow surplus capital, and institutional clients requiring specialised asset management advisory.
All investment advisory services are provided in strict compliance with the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act and Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) guidelines, ensuring that every recommendation is made in the best interest of the client and fully disclosed.
We provide advisory and intermediation access across a diversified range of asset classes and investment vehicles.
Investment in shares of JSE-listed companies across all market segments — large cap, mid cap, small cap, and AltX. We provide fundamental and technical research analysis to support equity selection and portfolio construction decisions.
Access to gold, silver, platinum group metals (PGMs), and agricultural commodity investments through futures contracts, commodity ETFs, and physical metal certificates. South Africa's mining heritage creates unique local investment advantages.
Government bonds (RSA Retail Bonds), corporate bonds, listed debentures, and money market instruments for income-seeking investors. We match fixed income instruments to client income requirements, risk tolerance, and investment horizons.
Cost-effective diversification through JSE-listed ETFs tracking equity indices, commodity prices, bonds, and property indices. ETFs provide excellent building blocks for diversified portfolio construction at low cost and with intraday liquidity.
Listed property exposure through JSE-listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), providing inflation-hedged income and capital growth through professionally managed commercial, retail, and industrial property portfolios.
Advisory on unlisted investments, private equity opportunities, structured products, and alternative investment funds for sophisticated investors seeking returns uncorrelated to mainstream financial markets.
We follow a rigorous, structured investment advisory process designed to ensure every recommendation is appropriately tailored, thoroughly researched, and properly disclosed.
We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your financial situation, investment objectives, time horizon, risk appetite, liquidity requirements, tax considerations, and any ethical or sector exclusion preferences. This forms the foundation of your personalised investment mandate.
Using structured questionnaires and financial analysis, we formally assess your risk tolerance and investment suitability classification in accordance with FAIS Act requirements. This ensures all recommendations align with your capacity and willingness to bear investment risk.
Based on your profile, we design a strategic asset allocation framework — defining target weightings across equities, bonds, commodities, cash, and alternatives — and present a written investment strategy document for your review and approval before any action is taken.
Once the strategy is approved, we facilitate investment execution through appropriate brokers, investment platforms, or direct instruments — ensuring all transactions are conducted at best execution standards and full cost transparency is maintained throughout.
We conduct regular portfolio reviews — quarterly at minimum — providing detailed performance reports, benchmark comparisons, risk metrics, and rebalancing recommendations. You are kept informed of all market developments relevant to your portfolio.
Comprehensive annual reviews assess whether your investment strategy remains aligned to your evolving financial circumstances, changing market conditions, and regulatory environment. Adjustments are recommended proactively and implemented with your consent.
Important Investment Disclosure:
Investment in securities, commodity contracts, and financial instruments involves risk. The value of investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up, and investors may not recover the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. All investment advisory services provided by SICH Protection (Pty) Ltd are subject to the requirements of the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act and relevant FSCA regulations. We strongly recommend that prospective investors seek independent financial and tax advice before making any investment decision. This website does not constitute financial advice as defined under the FAIS Act.
Minimum Investment Requirements: Minimum investment amounts vary by product and asset class. Please contact us directly at info@sichn.site or +27 315838724 to discuss your investment capacity and the most appropriate starting point for your specific financial situation.
Our commitment to full regulatory compliance, ethical conduct, and governance excellence across all business divisions.
At SICH Protection (Pty) Ltd, regulatory compliance is embedded in the DNA of every business division. We operate in highly regulated sectors — financial services, securities dealing, and private security — each with distinct and demanding regulatory frameworks. Rather than viewing compliance as a burden, we embrace it as a fundamental expression of our commitment to client protection, market integrity, and ethical conduct.
Our compliance programme is designed around four foundational pillars: Know Your Client (KYC) rigour, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) vigilance, Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) obligations, and Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA) requirements for our security division.
Every employee undergoes compliance training appropriate to their role, and our internal processes are designed to identify, escalate, and remediate potential compliance breaches before they become regulatory issues. We believe that a culture of compliance protects not only our clients but also the integrity of South Africa's financial and security sectors.
The FAIS Act regulates all financial advisory and intermediary services in South Africa. Our financial advisory and brokerage activities are conducted in strict compliance with FAIS requirements, including disclosure obligations, client mandate management, and ongoing competency requirements.
The FSCA is the primary market conduct regulator for financial services providers in South Africa. We maintain ongoing awareness of all FSCA guidance notes, regulatory updates, and conduct standards applicable to our brokerage, investment advisory, and insurance intermediary activities.
FICA imposes comprehensive anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations on accountable institutions. We maintain robust KYC verification processes, transaction monitoring frameworks, and suspicious transaction reporting procedures in full FICA compliance.
PSiRA regulates all private security providers in South Africa. Our security services division maintains full PSiRA compliance, including registered security service providers, compliant employment contracts, proper training standards, and regular PSiRA audit readiness.
SICH Protection (Pty) Ltd and its parent entity SICH PROTECTION (PTY) LTD are registered with the CIPC and maintain all statutory company records, annual returns, and director disclosures in compliance with the Companies Act, 71 of 2008.
We are committed to Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) as both a regulatory obligation and a genuine transformation commitment. Our ownership structure, procurement practices, skills development programmes, and enterprise supplier development initiatives reflect our dedication to South Africa's transformation agenda.
In compliance with FICA requirements, we require all clients to provide: a valid, unexpired South African ID document or passport; proof of residential address dated within three months (utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement); for companies — CIPC registration documents, certified ID copies of all directors/beneficial owners, and proof of business address. Additional documentation may be requested for higher-risk client profiles or complex transactions.
We comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) in all aspects of client data collection, storage, processing, and sharing. Client data is collected only for stated purposes, stored securely with appropriate access controls, and never shared with third parties without client consent, except where required by law or regulatory obligation. Clients may request access to their personal information at any time by contacting privacy@sichn.site.
All financial advisory and intermediary activities conducted by SICH Protection (Pty) Ltd are carried out in accordance with applicable FAIS Act requirements and FSCA regulatory guidance. We advise all prospective financial services clients to conduct their own verification of our regulatory status with the FSCA and to contact us directly at compliance@sichn.site with any regulatory queries before engaging our financial services.
We take client complaints seriously and maintain a formal Complaints Resolution Policy. All complaints should be submitted in writing to complaints@sichn.site or by post to our registered address. We acknowledge complaints within 2 business days and aim to resolve them within 30 calendar days. Clients who remain dissatisfied after our internal process may escalate to the Financial Services Ombud (for financial services complaints) or the relevant security industry ombudsman.
Our AML framework includes: comprehensive customer due diligence (CDD) and enhanced due diligence (EDD) for higher-risk clients; ongoing transaction monitoring and suspicious activity detection; regular AML training for all staff; appointed Compliance Officer responsible for FICA obligations; record-keeping in accordance with FICA timeframes; and a documented Suspicious Transaction Reporting (STR) process for timely reporting to the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) where required.
All security service providers deployed by SICH Protection are registered with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSiRA) as required by the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001. We maintain records of all PSiRA registrations and conduct regular compliance audits to ensure our security personnel remain in good standing. Clients may request proof of PSiRA registration for any deployed security officer at any time.
For all regulatory, compliance, POPIA, or FICA-related enquiries, please contact our dedicated compliance team who will respond within 2 business days.
