General

The PSSA is the trade association for companies involved in the supply of equipment and services designed to provide the highest levels of physical protection for sites and their perimeters from terrorist or criminal attack that involves the use of extreme force or explosives.

We formally became a non-profit trade association limited by guarantee on 1st August 2009. Our founder members are some of the leading names in the sector – and we have been formed with the encouragement of the government body the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI). It shares our objective to promote the use of high performance products and their professional installation.
