WHAT IS SIRA?

The Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) is a regulatory authority in Dubai, UAE, established in 2016 by a decree from HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai.

SIRA Dubai is a government body responsible for managing the security industry in Dubai. SIRA is short for Security Industry Regulatory Agency. Before SIRA, the Department of Protective Systems (DPS) of Dubai Police managed this responsibility.

SIRA controls the licensing of all security activities in Dubai. These activities include guarding services, security system sales, installation, and consulting. Without SIRA Approved Company, no company can have these activities on its trade license. SIRA approves both new permits, as well as license renewals of the firms. SIRA has made it mandatory for companies engaged in certain types of business activities to install a CCTV surveillance system. Such businesses can obtain or renew their trade license only after a SIRA auditor has approved their surveillance system.

SIRA ensures highest levels of safety and security by laying guidelines on implementation of best practices in security systems, services, and personnel. There are only about 400 companies SIRA certified for CCTV certification, and less than 2000 SIRA certified providers for all security related activities in Dubai, UAE. SIRA has laid down specific guidelines on CCTV installation at various types of building in Dubai. All institutions are required to abide by these guidelines through yearly audits, maintenance, certifications, and upgrades if required.

WHY NEED SIRA?

SIRA certification ensures that the CCTV installation in your building or facility is in good condition, as per guidelines, and up-to-date with the latest technologies specified by SIRA.

It is now mandatory for the proper installation of security surveillance system at the building facilities. Fines are imposed for non-compliance and improper CCTV installation. Various types of buildings and institutions have different type of guidelines for CCTV installation specified by SIRA.

SIRA certification is essential to facilitate other licensing formalities as well. Dubai municipal authority also requires SIRA NOC for issuing a building completion certificate.
