For RBA, Sedex & SMETA audited companies

RBA & SMETA Compliant Security Services

If your company follows the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct or is audited through Sedex and SMETA, your security provider is part of your audit. Black Gold Security runs its workforce to the same labour standards, so our officers strengthen your audit instead of putting it at risk.

We have been audited as an on-site supplier during our clients' RBA or SMETA audits, and we provide our records directly to your auditors.

Why Your Security Provider Matters in an RBA or SMETA Audit

Social compliance audits look beyond your own employees. Auditors routinely check contracted workers on your site, including security officers, against the same labour standards they apply to your staff.

Security is a common weak point. Long shifts, migrant workforces and recruitment through agencies are exactly the areas auditors focus on: excessive working hours, recruitment fees, retained passports and missing records can all turn into findings against your site.

Our client base includes multinational manufacturers in sectors where these audits are standard, such as electronics and medical devices, semiconductors, aerospace engineering, consumer goods and edible oils.
