About Sika Group Holdings
SIKA Group Holdings is a South African business group delivering integrated security, investigations, regulatory compliance and technology solutions. Through our specialised companies and divisions, we help individuals and organisations manage risk, meet their regulatory responsibilities and operate with confidence.
SIKA Global
SIKA Global, formerly known as SIKA Investigative Solutions, is the principal operating company within SIKA Group Holdings. The name change reflects the growth of our business from a specialist investigations company into a broader provider of security, compliance, investigative and risk-management services.
SIKA Global is the company through which clients engage and transact for many of the services offered under the SIKA Group brand. While our name has changed, our experienced team, professional standards and commitment to confidentiality, accuracy and dependable service remain the same.
Working with corporate organisations, legal professionals, private clients and regulated businesses, we provide practical solutions tailored to each client’s operational and compliance requirements.
