Company History

Sigma Security Services was organized as an affiliate company of JAKA Investment Corporation in February 16, 1982, with the mandate of providing perimeter and installation security in the company's remote logging concessions and agricultural plantations which were located in the frontier towns of Quezon Province and the far flung Samar and Basilan islands. Largely through the efforts of the security agency, a climate of peace and order conducive to the conduct of business in the area prevailed, and the company was able to profitably manage its business in their respective areas of operation.

The success of Sigma Security in its initial endeavors provided JAKA Investment Corporation with the raison d'etre to expand the mandate of Sigma Security to be the exclusive security service provider for the whole JAKA Group of Companies. The security mandate of Sigma would now encompass that of the JAKA Group's different office buildings and warehouse, condominium buildings and other residential properties.From the paramilitary type of operations required in the remote areas of operation, Sigma Security Service had to tackle the entirely different needs of installation, office and residential security. In order to address the entirely different challenge that these postings present, Sigma Security augmented its commando-type field security training with those that inculcated a more corporate outlook for the Sigma Guard Corps: positive values formation, customer relations, service orientation, first aid and disaster preparedness. The enviable result- a well rounded security guardsman who is not only capable of protecting the company's assets and personnel, but one that also contributes towards the attainment of the client's corporate objectives as well.

The turbulent peace and order situation that prevailed in the country during the latter part of the 1980's saw the rise in crimes against business and families perpetuated by organized crime syndicates; large scale bank robberies, kidnap for ransom, home invasion and carnapping incidents saw a sudden increase in demand for personal security services. Sigma Security Services responded to the growing threat in two ways: by providing personal security services to individuals and families, and by offering a security education program to the private sector.

Capitalizing on its ability to provide a well-structured training program that proved effective in over two decades of security service, Sigma Security Services created in early 2004, a wholly-owned security training academy - the Sigma Institute for Security and Protection Training (Sigma Security Institute) that provides security and protection training not only for security guards and protection officers, but also to individuals who prefer to take a pro-active role in their personal security and safety.
