Security challenges pose as a problem to societal development, as not only does it hamper requisite growth and innovations, it also endangers lives of members living in that society. Despite all these today, most security companies have not only risen to the challenges of providing information on security matters but also backing them up with sophisticated gadgets and equipment to keep the menace bay.


Speaking at the occasion of ISO 9001:2008 certification  to Cardival Security Services Limited recently, the country director  DSQ-UL Nigeria, Mr. Ogudu Lawrence stated that the certificate aligns Cardical security services’ system with the international practices found anywhere in the world.and  also gives them marketing advantage, a step above their competitors and accrues consumer confidence.

He further stated “I am very happy with this company’s progress and it is a pointer to the fact that hardwork truly pays. We have converged here no only because they are getting certificates that appreciates their efforts and truly puts them ahead of their counterparts but because they are now connected to so many other companies around the world and that is a plus for them.

"Again I must clearly state that DQS UL Group is one of the leading certification bodies for management systems worldwide which strives to ensure efficiency, environment friendliness and reliability. "

"DQS by its strength is the founding member of IQ net-A network of certification companies from several companies. And any customer of DQS anywhere in any part of  the world  that has these two certificates that we have presented here today immediately gets into
DQS network.

"They automatically align with every of  the companies that are represented in those companies and what that really brings to limelight is that Cardinal security services has risen to a higher dimension of performance and their standards and efficiency is being watched not just by DQS but also by IQ net.” He explained

In his remarks, the Chief Executive Officer of Cardinal Security Services Limited, Mr. Silvester Ibeh noted that what has sustained their seven years of operation has been continuous learning and improvement and that has placed them as one of the leading private
security companies in the country.

He further added that apart from Nigeria, the company also offers security services in the United States of America and that further underscores their efforts in
bringing about commitment and customer satisfaction and confidence.

He said “With the ISO 9001:2008 certification, we believe we are well placed to consistently deliver outstanding  security service to our clients, and that is because we’ve being able to build advantage by
providing value in the delivery of security solutions through security consultancy, due diligence, access control/alarm and CCTV installation, security management trainings."

The company according to Ibeh is the only security company in West Africa that recently received two international recognition for quality and excellent service delivery.
