Great Southern Security (GSS) is a proudly South Australian owned and family operated security services business.

Originally established in 2002, by Peter Schirmer the company was handed over to the current owners, Ian and Michelle Haylock, in 2022.

Ian and Michelle have worked hard to ensure that, as GSS moves into its second phase of ownership, it remains true to its core values of being a vibrant, contemporary and innovative security company that maintains a focus on personal service delivery and integrity.

Whilst based on the Fleurieu Peninsula, we provide security services throughout metro and regional South Australia.
