Purpose
Sold Secure provides test and assessment services of
effective security products to commercial customers, the
insurance industry, the Home Office, the Police and the
public and is a company dedicated to reducing the risk of
theft by the assessment of security products.
The scheme has close ties with a number of constabularies
and insurers who provide regular information regarding
the methods of theft and the tools utilised by criminals in
their area. This helps to maintain an up to date specification
