SECURITY SERVICES
DRONE TERRAIN PHOTOGRAPHY IN HIGH THREAT AREAS
La Sud Security offers a service to businesses and land developers, often foreign nationals, in which we aerial photograph or explore areas that have development potential for civil or other possible opportunities. This might occur in dangerous terrain or in areas where criminals or the local people have been known to cause civil unrest or may even kidnap engineers for ransom. This is a specific service with defined socio-political objectives and is not the same as normal satellite photography.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN CONFLICT OR HIGH THREAT SITES
La Sud Security has experience in project management in areas where there is a constant threat of material theft or even attacks on contractors with assault rifles. This is a speciality of ours and we can offer various levels of protection. Be it live-in for the duration of the project or superior and aggressive response in times of danger. We also liaise with the local community and constantly monitor threats before they potentially occur or in areas where criminals or the local people have been known to cause civil unrest or may even kidnap engineers for ransom.
PRIVATE MILITARY CONTRACTORS
La Sud Security may be called on to escort businessmen or company executives into hostile areas for certain reasons. This service is offered when there is a very high threat of attack or danger. We also offer this service to any legitimate government of the day where we might be required to act as a force multiplier alongside the local military or police force.
HARDCAR FLEET ARMOUR PROTECTED
In certain scenarios where there may be large scale civil unrest or potential of violence, La Sud Security can offer a safe collection or escort of key personnel in armoured vehicles. Please note this can only occur in certain areas and African countries where we have access to this this capability.
RURAL AREA PROTECTION
La Sud Security has experience with intelligence gathering in rural environments. A lot of attacks have taken place lately and we offer a very secure protection service for high value livestock and personnel. We offer a live on-site service for the duration of the potential threat. This is not a farm watch offering it is for situations when a threat is ongoing and the perpetrators are not deterred by normal armed response or police.

LEGAL AND RISK SECTION
La Sud Security has a highly specialised legal division catering specifically for security contractors. And with time will have representation in all major African countries.
LEGAL:
- The legal leg is all encompassing when it comes to legal work and includes:
- Civil Litigation;
- Defense:
- Loss of life;
- Loss of limb;
- Loss of support;
- Damage to property;
- Contractual disputes.
- Offense:
- Enforcement of contracts;
- Enforcement of duty;
- Criminal Litigation:
- Defense in the event that any party, a client of otherwise, of La Sud is charged with criminal actions.
- Either to do relation recovery in an attempt to have charges dropped or withdrawn alternatively defending any charges brought.
- International Relations
- This deals very closely with the criminal defense element of La Sud Legal, as it may be beneficial to attempt to have the accused moved into South African jurisdiction and tried under SA laws where the punishment/process may be more favorable.
- Further to the possibility of more favorable circumstances the same charges may not exist in terms of South African Laws.
- Legal backing with regards to trade & contractual negotiations:
- It is evident that La Sud will be on the forefront of mitigating a client’s risk.
- The client may not be in the position to effectively negotiate with locals or third parties, with La Sud being on the ground we will be in the position to pinpoint key personel who may be able to smooth over differences caused by communication and cultural issues.
- Further to the negotiations we will be an integral part in brokering and drafting a beneficial contract to our client which is acceptable to all parties involved, and therefore limiting future threats.
- Defense:
- Civil Litigation;
RISK:
- Evaluation of the risk
- Mitigation
- Management
From experience the risk service offering is very specific to each client and may include a heavy input of political analysis and international relations. The legal service and the risk service in security work tends to blend into one product. This section is not a generic offering and pre consultation with the client will determine a more specific product suited to the situation
