Making People
Safer, Not Just Secure

Mike Sears is a seasoned security professional with decades of hands-on experience in security operations, risk management, and threat assessment across South Africa and internationally. He founded Security360 on a simple conviction: that real security comes from empowerment, not dependence — and that every person deserves the knowledge to protect themselves and those they love.

His approach bridges the gap between military-grade methodology and practical, everyday application — making professional security knowledge accessible to anyone willing to learn.

Our Philosophy

Security That Liberates, Not Limits

We believe that security should be accessible and effective for every individual, family and community. By demystifying professional practices and making them actionable, we help people create their own agency and improve efficiency in protecting what matters most.

Eliminate Easy Targets

Reducing your exposure is the first line of defence. We show you how to harden yourself, your home and your community so criminals see no opportunity worth exploiting.

Learn Evasive & Assertive Tactics

Evasion and deterrence don't require aggression — only preparedness. When necessary, assertive action can disrupt an offender's plan. Our training balances these principles for maximum effectiveness.

Empower Communities

Security isn't an individual pursuit. We foster networks where neighbours share intelligence, support one another and collectively reduce crime.


Why It Matters

Your Security Deserves Expert Oversight

You wouldn't manage your finances without an accountant or your health without a doctor. Your personal security — the thing that protects everything else — deserves the same professional attention and continuous improvement.

Finances

You hire professionals to audit, advise and optimise your financial position. Security requires the same cycle of assessment, planning and review.

Health

Regular check-ups, screenings and adjustments keep you healthy. Your security posture needs the same ongoing diagnostic attention.

Security

Threats evolve. Your protective mechanisms, systems and knowledge must undergo a continuous train, test and maintain cycle to remain effective.


The Cycle

Train · Test · Maintain

Effective security is never static. It's a living system that requires regular assessment, skill development and adaptation to stay ahead of evolving threats.

01

Train

Build foundational knowledge and practical skills. Understand your environment, recognise threats, and develop confident response capabilities.

02

Test

Validate your security measures through real-world assessments. Identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Pressure-test your plans.

03

Maintain

Continuously update your knowledge, adapt to new threats, and refine your approach. Security is a practice, not a one-time purchase.
