Malvid Protection Services is a 100% black-owned, Level 1 B-BBEE accredited integrated security and facility management firm — 1,800 people, 340 sites, all nine South African provinces.

Our Story

Built by operators. Run with discipline.

Malvid was founded by a team with backgrounds in tactical operations, facility management, and corporate risk. We started because we saw too many businesses juggling fragmented suppliers — one for guards, one for cleaners, one for gardens, another for pest — none of them accountable for the whole picture.

Our model is simple: integrate the disciplines, train them under one operational standard, and give the client one point of contact who actually owns the outcome.

Today we operate across all nine provinces, with regional hubs in every major South African metro and contracts spanning corporate offices, retail centres, residential estates, and industrial sites.

What we run on

Three operating principles.

Not values posters. The actual decisions we make every day, in every contract.

PRINCIPLE 01

Visible accountability.

Every contract has one named account manager. Every officer has a documented chain of command. When something happens, we know exactly who owns the response.

PRINCIPLE 02

Trained, not borrowed.

We train our own people, on our own standards. Officers and facility staff progress through structured Malvid grading — not pulled off the street and put in a uniform.

PRINCIPLE 03

Quiet execution.

The best security and facility work is the kind you barely notice. Our job is to make your premises feel calm, ordered, and reliable — not theatrical.
