Accreditations & Commitment to Excellence

At Macaw Security Solutions Ltd, our accreditations are more than just certifications – they are a testament to our ongoing commitment to safety, quality, and professionalism. These credentials allow us to deliver reliable, compliant, and cost-effective security solutions across the UK, particularly within the highly regulated rail and infrastructure sectors.

RISQS Accredited – Trusted to Protect the UK Rail Network

As a Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) -accredited supplier, Macaw Security Solutions is fully qualified to work within the rail sector, providing remote-monitored fixed and temporary CCTV to depots, stations, and trackside locations. This accreditation means we meet the stringent standards required by Train Operating Companies, Network Rail and other industry stakeholders, giving our clients total confidence in our services. Our remote-monitored CCTV systems are a powerful alternative to traditional manned guarding – significantly reducing costs while enhancing coverage and effectiveness. These systems actively deter unauthorised entry, help prevent criminal damage, and minimise graffiti-related disruptions. By helping keep operational areas secure, we directly support the train operating companies in maintaining service continuity. This contributes to one of the rail sector’s top priorities: keeping trains running on time. A recent customer satisfaction survey revealed that punctual service is the number one priority for passengers. Our security services support this goal, making us a valuable partner in enhancing customer satisfaction across the UK rail network
