Governance value ICoCA offers a recognized governance and oversight framework for private security providers, presenting a compelling selling point to security firms seeking credible certification and enhanced reputational standing.

Due diligence opportunity With a mandate to conduct due diligence, monitor, certify, and handle complaints, there is a market for scalable assessment tools, audit services, and complaint management platforms tailored to ICoCA member needs.

Growth through partnerships Recent memberships and collaborations (for example with Saracen Uganda and Small Arms Survey collaborations) indicate a path for regional expansion, training programs, and compliance services for providers entering or expanding in East Africa and similar markets.

Technology enablement ICoCA’s tech stack and online presence suggest opportunities for cybersecurity, data analytics, and UX improvements to support certification workflows, member portals, and transparent reporting to stakeholders.

Funding and scale With annual revenue in the low-to-mid multi-millions and a focus on risk reduction in the security supply chain, there is potential to upsell broader risk management, due diligence automation, and regional onboarding services to growing security firms seeking Code of Conduct adherence.
