Keeran Ruiters of Blue Security has been named SAIDSA Techman 2025 National Champion. This title recognises him as the top security technician in South Africa.
After securing regional victories, Keeran outperformed twelve of the country’s top technicians at the finals, held at Securex South Africa in Johannesburg. His technical precision, expert wiring, and commitment to national standards earned him this prestigious title — and the recognition of an entire industry.
“This is more than a trophy. It is a testament to the quality, consistency, and care that Blue Security builds into every system, every installation, every time,” said Stephen Wimborne, Commercial Director for Blue Security.
Hosted annually by the South African Intruder Detection Services Association (SAIDSA), the Techman competition tests the technical proficiency of SAIDSA-certified technicians in the real-world application of security systems.
Participants must plan, wire, terminate, and clearly label an intruder alarm system within a strict time limit, following SAIDSA’s installation standards to the letter. This is not a theory exam. It is a live, high-pressure challenge designed to reward only the best in precision, speed, and accuracy.
“This achievement also highlights Blue Security’s investment in ongoing technical training, quality assurance, and national standards compliance. It is not simply about getting the job done—it is about getting it done properly, to standard, and with long-term performance in mind,” Wimborne added.
Technical expertise is often the invisible thread holding your security system together. You may never see the wiring behind your alarm panel, but it is that hidden precision that ensures your home or business remains protected, day and night.
“By participating in competitions like Techman, we are not just showcasing our skills. We are actively benchmarking them against the best in South Africa, raising the standard of installation for every client we serve,” concludes Wimborne.
