S.A.M.S. was established in March 1987 by three former army officers with the aim of offering a professional, comprehensive security management service. The simple fact of the matter was that the principle of a man, with a gun and a dog, being "security" was not absolute.
The company was founded on the premise that security must be appropriately treated as a management function which, like all other aspects of management, directly affects the long-term financial viability of every business.
