Our history

Established in 2013, SDS Protection was the brainchild of Brett Schwartz and Grant Davies. Brett and Grant took it upon themselves to create a security company that prides itself on cost-effective solutions that benefit all South Africans.

In 2020, Grant had decided to move on from SDS Protection and left the company in the trusted hands of co-founder, Brett Schwartz. Brett has since taken it upon himself to expand the business to new heights and has been very successful in doing so.

The Gauteng based company grew organically over the next few months leading to a nationwide presence to date. SDS Protection is also a Level 2 BBBEE contributor and continues to strive for equal opportunities for all.
