ABOUT US
Smidt Risk Resolve Services trading under the abbreviation “SRRS” is a
newly formed Risk Services Company that uniquely combines a specially
combined product and services package to mitigate and control risk in the
business space. The company was formed by Lourens Smidt a 20 year
veteran in the risk and security industry.
Lourens was formally involved in the establishment of companies such as
Sonqoba Security a multi-disciplined security concern with an unmatched
record for safety in the bulk cash management space. Lourens was also
involved with the acclaimed Empilweni Group and held positions such as
Business Development Manager and GM with the group over a thirteen
year period.
Recognising the need for a service provider that can truly
identify a customer’s risk and then develop an impenetrable
risk mitigation strategy and service and product portfolio to
deal with the risk is what moved founder to start this
company. It has become very clear that through the recent
years the risk of theft and robberies has escalated and
migrated away from the banking institutions and cash in
transit companies to retailors and other business
enterprises.
Addressing this epidemic has fallen onto the hands of the
individual shop and business owner, risk management not
being their core function or skill base leaves many
businesses victim to crime, shortages and fraud.
Companies need a strong arm that has the skill,
solutions and experience to combat this problem.
SRRS is truly positioned to do just that.
OWNERSHIP AND ASSOCIATIONS
“The only thing necessary for the triumph
of evil is that good men should do
nothing.”
Smidt Risk Resolve Service trading as SRRS was
founded and co-funded by Lourens Smidt. An Equity
investment was made by another shareholder to the value of
35% of the shares, Lourens Smidt is holding 65% of the shares.
There is only one Director presently involved in the company and
that is Lourens Smidt.
SRRS is associated with Cash Connect and National Company
involved in the cash management space, the involvement comes in
the form of a Provincial Agency for Mpumalanga. Cash Connect does
not own any equity in SRRS.

NEWLY FORMED ASSOCIATIONS
SRRS has formed a Joint Venture (JV) with Softnet a local company that
has owns the controlling shares in camTrac a CCTV and Offsite
Monitoring brand.
As part of the JV, SRRS has taken over the management of the
monitoring and maintenance of the old company’s clients and will be
responsible for growing the business. There are no liabilities taken
over by SRRS in this venture. The monitoring capacity is hosed within
our own control room and all technical responsibilities are managed
by SRRS technical services.
The union between SRRS and Softnet strengthen both brands,
capacity and allows the synergies between the companies to form
a formidable and capable service provider solution in the
Electronic Surveillance, CCTV, Alarm Monitoring and Offsite
CCTV Monitoring and Process Management space.
The unified strengths propel both brands into a new and
dynamic arena where state of the art technology is
backed-up by leading physical security services.
PRODUCT AND SERVICE PORTFOLIO
Based on the risk profiling done by SRRS on small,
medium and large enterprises the following risk factors
have been identified continuously and thus formed the
basis for the company’s product portfolio:
 Ignorance to the physical risks involved in business in the
South African geography
 Non attentiveness to the crime statistics
 Poor financial planning to manage risk and security
 Ignorance to the emotional bank account
 Poor or even negligent cash management solutions for the
business
 Poor cash management facilities in the business
 Ignorance to the service level of the security companies employed to
manage the physical security risk
In addressing these factors, SRRS have evolved its own product DNA as
a defence against risk. This strand of risk combating product DNA is
engineered to mitigate the clients risk to such an extent that SRRS
maintains its motto;
“Your risk our personal concern”

PHYSICAL SECURITY
What is physical Security:- Physical security is the protection of personnel, hardware,
programs, networks, and data from physical circumstances and events that could cause
serious losses or damage to an enterprise, agency, or institution. This includes protection
from fire, natural disasters, burglary, theft, vandalism, and terrorism.
SRRS Guarding Services
Considering the crime statistics, physical security presence remains one
of the most useful deterrents against crime in the commercial market
place.
What sets the SRRS Guarding services
apart from its competitors? Well first off one
has to look at the company’s holistic
approach to risk mitigation in order to
compare. The integrated service provides
customers/clients with a comprehensive
solution to security and risk.
Our operational approach to
guarding services are unique
in that we don’t make use of the
traditional security posting and site visitation
methodology as it is the case with the competition. Due
to this significantly different approach to security
operations we don’t fall in the same trap as all the
others mandarin providers of security services.
How do we do it?
Allow us the opportunity to meet with you for a
consultation and it will be our privilege to share our
secret with you…
Personal service and personal involvement
is a key component of our solution.

CASH CIRCULATION DOUBLES SINCE 2003
Richard Phillips, Managing Director of the leading cash management services provider Cash Connect, today
addressed delegates at the AMC International-4th Annual Cash Handling & Security Forum 2012, at the
Radison Blue Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg. Covering key matters at the symposium, Phillips focused in
on the pertinent topic of the importance of cash in the current South African economy.
“Cash volumes in South Africa have doubled since 2003, with over 60% of payments for goods and service
being paid in cash. While cash is clearly the preferred payment choice, its anonymity makes for a major
target of crime with figures showing that business robberies remain high year on year.” Notes Phillips. “The
retail sector is the most heavily affected.”
The International ATM Association says that globally, cash
represents 84% of payments and it is generally accepted that the deployment of ATMs is a reliable indicator
of the demand for cash in the economy.
