protecting lives all around the world. Along the way, we have been privileged to work with many
memorable and iconic individuals, corporations, organisations and events. It has indeed been an

To commemorate this special year, we look back at our phenomenal journey since the beginning and
some of the notable milestonesinourcompany’shistory.
Founded in 1999 as Nicholls Steyn and Associates, after the acquisition of the company P3 Consultants
by our founding partners Bob Nicholls and Rory Steyn, NSA Global has grown into a strong global
operationoverthe pasttwodecades.
The United Cricket Board of SA was to become our first ‘sporting’ client when Rory Steyn was appointed
in 1999 by then MD Dr Ali Bacher, as the UCBSA’s first security consultant, to prepare for the ICC Cricket
World Cup, 2003 hosted in South Africa. Our role also included the protection of the Proteas team and
of all international cricketteamsandmatchofficialsvisitingSouthAfrica,whichcontinuestothisday.

Rory went on to become personally involved in the establishment of the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit (ICC
ACU) underLord Paul Condon.
In 2000, we signed on Boeing and Coca-Cola as new clients, a formidable accomplishment for a relatively
new company. One of our initial projects with Coca-Cola was to plan and manage the security of a high-
level conference to Europe, on board The Silver Whisper, a luxury cruise-liner, where both of our
directors ensured the safety of a high-profile passenger list, including the likes of Nelson Mandela
(together with the Presidential Protection Unit), Diana Ross, Sugar Ray Leonard and the then Coca-Cola
PresidentandCEO.

2. During the early 2000s, pharmaceuticals giant Pfizer became a new client and over the next 10 years we
workedwiththemonmultiple,regulartripstoAfrica.
In 2002 we were privileged to be appointed to manage the security of the ‘Christmas Kindness’ project
in South Africa. This assignment involved months of planning to ensure that Christmas gifts could be
delivered to 50 000 schoolchildren and orphans in Soweto, then remote areas of Kwa-Zulu/Natal
province and Umtata in the Eastern Cape. This was truly a project that every person involved in, will
neverforget;where we literallywitnessedbig,burly,grownmencry.
2003 marked a historic change in our company’s management when Jaishankar Ramchandran, joined
NSA as a shareholder and financial director. Jai brought with him more than 30 years of experience in
international strategy and financial management, thus complementing the company’s positioning and
offering.
In 2003 we also made our first of a number of trips to Pakistan to conduct security assessments for a
proposed Proteas cricket tour there, the first cricket tour to that region post the Second Gulf War, and
we thenprovidedsecuritytoescortthe teamduringthe tour.
In 2005 we were appointed as consultants to the Security Director of the ICC Cricket World Cup, West
Indies, in association with Rushmans making six visits to the West Indies for the planning of ICC CWC
2007.
2005 also saw us working with the first Basketball Without Borders event with the NBA, which set the
stage for continuedrelationshipwiththe NBA todate.
In 2006 we were appointed by the ICC to initially conduct assessments and then to deploy experienced
staff to oversee the securityof all teamsinvolvedinthe ICCChampionstrophytournamentinIndia.
Our directors Bob Nicholls and Rory Steyn also travelled to Hollywood for the first time in 2006, having
been appointed as consultants to The Academy Awards, one of the highest profile events in the world.
Our role was to provide training to the excellent security staff (mostly off-duty LAPD officers) who
secure this event, to work the event with them and then provide an assessment of the security
arrangements on completion of the event. Our relationship has continued to this day, with either Bob,
Rory or bothattendingalmosteveryeditionof the Oscarssince.

In 2006 NSA Risk Management Services (Pty) Ltd was formed in partnership with Claude Baissac, a
former Kroll employee. This division would focus on strategic, geo-political risk together with private

team security for the brand new Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket tournament, which has since

During 2008, seven members of NSA under the leadership of Bob Nicholls were responsible for saving
approximately 150 guests from the Taj Mahal hotel during the much publicised ‘Mumbai terror attacks’,
now known as “26/11”. This event and our team’s actions received worldwide coverage and
recognitionatthe time andin the monthsthat followed.

In 2010 our home country, South Africa welcomed more than 3 million football fans from around the
world for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. NSA was proud to be a huge part of the security details for the
event’s Global Partners. We deployed around 400 protection personnel in support of three of FIFA’s
Global Partners, viz.: Coca-Cola, Sony and Visa. It was a huge privilege to be involved with such an iconic
event in our own country and the experience of our management team ensured that we were able to
address the demands, logistical and organisational challenges in a project of this scale and to provide a
safe and memorable experience forall of ourclients.

Our success in this event and the experience gained, has resulted in our involvement with these and
other clients, including Continental and Adidas in subsequent FIFA tournaments in Brazil 2014 and
Russia2018.

Cityfor the filmingof ‘Blended’aHappyMadison andWB productionin2013.

number of India’s highest profile families and organisations, resulting in the deployment of a number of
specialisedstaff inIndia,the UKandUSA.
During this period we also launched our specialised medical service, resulting in the deployment of a
numberof highlyexperiencedParamedicsdedicatedtoourclients.
Due to the ever-increasing demand in India for high quality security services, we took a decision to bring
8 of our India and Nepali staff to South Africa, to spend 2 weeks training with our instructors and
learning“The NSA Way”.
We have over this period continued to high level security support to existing and new clients in an ever
expandingnumberof territories.
In 2017, we underwent a name change and a massive brand overhaul. Our old name ‘Nicholls Steyn
Associates’ had been over the years a fondly abbreviated to “NSA” by our clients. Motivated by this and
our global growth, we decided to officially rename the company as ‘NSA Global’ and to adjust our logo
and brandingtorecognise this.
From the Cricket World Cup to The Oscars to the Summer and Winter Olympics; the numerous individual
clients and events that we have worked with, our projects over the years bear testimony to the hard
work and dedication of our teams and our culture of customer service. Our success has been built on
integrity, discretion, trust and the commitment to professionalism, competence and passion when
servingourclients.
We recognise and acknowledge the contributions of all our past and present employees who have been
a part of this remarkable story. In tribute, we remember our two fallen colleges Marius Potgieter and AJ
