About Personal Safety
Instant Protection. Reliable Safety for Every Part of Life.
Not all security threats are digital. In uncertain or high-risk situations—whether commuting late at night, navigating unfamiliar cities, or dealing with a sudden medical emergency—the ability to instantly summon aid or deter a threat can be life-saving. Skimguard includes Personal Safety in its protection platform because security is holistic. We provide simple, effective tools that prioritize your personal well-being, giving you instant, audible defence you can rely on anywhere.
Everyday Risks
Walking home late at night.
Children travelling to and from school.
Seniors living independently.
Travellers navigating unfamiliar places.
Medical emergencies, falls, or sudden accidents
In all of these scenarios, the biggest deterrent to attackers or predators is the risk of being caught. Studies confirm that loud noise is one of the most effective ways to disrupt and deter threats.
The Science of Deterrence: Noise as the Interrupter
For centuries, the most effective defence against an attack is to turn a private incident into a public one. Studies on predator behaviour consistently confirm that the biggest deterrent is the risk of being caught.
Interrupting the Threat:
The goal of an emergency alarm is to disrupt the situation and disorient the threat instantly.
Drawing Attention:
A loud, sudden noise immediately focuses the attention of bystanders, turning potential witnesses into active interveners.
Non-Violent Defence:
The Personal Alarm provides a non-physical, immediate line of defence that is safe and legal for all ages to carry and use.

Children
Kids are protected as they walk to school by keeping the Skim Guard Personal Alarm key chain on their backpack.
Stranger danger is something we all take seriously when educating young children. The danger can occur anywhere, anytime. Whilst we take every step we can to educate children and youngsters about stranger danger, the nature of predators and predatory danger and the ways to be self protective, there is just so much one can do. Typically child predators dress in friendly clothing, appear nice and friendly when approaching children and entice children with treats and offers.
At Skim Guard, whilst we cannot educate your child, we can assist in physically protecting them from strangers. We recommend all parents add a Skim Guard personal alarm to school backpacks and another to any key ring a child or student may carry from day to day. We recommend discussing the advantages with your local Parents and Citizens groups ( P& C associations ) for across the school use.
