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.
