Our Story

From Two Guards to 50+ Strong — 15 Years of Growth

SSP Australia began in 2009 with a simple promise — to deliver honest, professional security guard services to Melbourne businesses that deserved better than what the market was offering. Founder Hisham Khalid started the company with just two guards and an unwavering commitment to reliability, compliance, and client satisfaction.

What started as a small local operation quickly earned a reputation for dependability. Word spread across Melbourne’s construction sites, retail centres, and corporate offices. Within the first few years, SSP had secured its first major long-term contracts, expanded its service range, and relocated to its current base in Sunshine North, VIC — a strategic location serving Melbourne’s growing western corridor and beyond.

Today, SSP Australia employs 50+ fully licensed, professionally trained security guards and serves clients across every major industry in Greater Victoria — from hospital security and event management to corporate protection and residential patrols. Every guard we deploy is Victoria Police licensed, background-checked, and trained to the highest professional standards.

Over 15 years, one thing has never changed: our commitment to protecting the people and places that matter most to our clients.

Meet the Founder

Hisham Khalid

Founder & Director — SSP Australia

From single-site static guards to multi-location mobile patrols — SSP Australia delivers tailored security solutions across every industry in Melbourne and Victoria.

Drawing on years of hands-on experience in the security industry, Hisham understood the gaps in the Melbourne market. Too many operators were deploying under-trained, inadequately licensed guards and relying on clients who didn’t know what to look for. Hisham built SSP differently — compliance-first, people-first, results-first.

Under his leadership, SSP Australia has grown from a 2-man team into a 50+ guard operation, earning a 5.0 Google rating and long-term contracts with clients across construction, healthcare, retail, events, and property management. Hisham remains actively involved in operations, maintaining the high standards that built SSP’s reputation.

“We built SSP to be the security company we would want protecting our own business. Licensed, trained, reliable — and always there when it matters most.”

Regulatory Compliance

Why Licensing Matters

Victoria has some of Australia's strictest private security regulations. The Private Security Act 2004 (Vic) requires every individual security guard and every security business operating in Victoria to hold a current, active licence issued by Victoria Police.

Hiring an unlicensed security provider is illegal and exposes your business to significant liability. At SSP Australia, every guard and our business itself holds current Victorian licences — giving you complete peace of mind that your security arrangement is fully lawful and compliant.

When evaluating any security company in Melbourne, always ask to see their Victoria Police Security Business Licence number. SSP Australia is proud to provide this on request.
