Mid-Year Secura Safety Check-In

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Stay Active and Safe with Secura This Winter

We’re halfway through 2025, and while South Africa settles into winter, your safety doesn’t need to take a seasonal break. Whether you’re hitting the road for a chilly morning jog, hiking crisp mountain trails, or keeping your exercise routine going indoors, now’s the perfect time to make sure your safety plan is still in shape too.

Secura’s got you covered — with one powerful app, easy-to-manage subscriptions, and a brand-new SOS emergency service. Here’s your quick winter check-in to stay active, alert, and protected.

Active Lifestyles Need Winter Awareness

Staying active through the winter has significant benefits — both physically and mentally — but the colder, darker months introduce new safety risks. Low-light conditions, reduced visibility, and fewer people outdoors mean it’s more important than ever to stay aware and prepared.

Here’s what Secura recommends for safer winter activity:

• Stick to well-lit routes for walks, jogs, or rides.
• Avoid isolated areas, especially early mornings or evenings.
• Wear reflective or bright clothing — you’re harder to see in winter light.
• Always carry your phone with the Secura app installed and location services on.
• Tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to return.

These simple steps are easy to follow but make a real difference. Even in familiar areas, conditions change quickly in winter. Think ahead, stay visible, and let someone know where you are — or better yet, bring a friend.

The Secura App Still Does the Heavy Lifting

At the core of Secura’s personal protection system is the app — a one-tap connection to help when and where you need it. You don’t have to be in a crisis to use it. You have access to:

• A vast network of over 280 security companies
• Rapid response times, averaging just five minutes in urban areas
• Nationwide coverage across multiple suburbs and provinces

It’s simple. You press the button, and Secura activates our network of providers across South Africa. Whether you’re at home, on the road, travelling, or out for a quick workout, help is just a tap away.

Key Features of the Secura App

• Live Tracking: See the responder’s location in real time.
• Emergency Response: Request armed security or medical help.
• Test Mode: Safely explore app functions without triggering alerts.
• Info Storage: Save critical data like medical details and emergency contacts.
• “Stand-By-Me” Feature: Request a security presence until assistance arrives.

Subscription Options Just Got Better

From only R49/month, it’s an affordable way to add a serious layer of safety — and if you switch to a 6- or 12-month plan, you save even more. Here’s what’s available:

Plan	Duration	Price	Monthly Equivalent
Monthly	1 month	R49	R49
Half-Year	6 months	R230	± R38.33
Annual	Annual	R350	± R29.16

Why Choose a Long-Term Secura Subscription?

Switching to the 6-month or 12-month plan means you save over R10/month — that’s a smart winter decision. Haven’t renewed yet this year? Now’s the time to check your app status, confirm your plan, and lock in better pricing.

Family Secura Subscription Plans 

Families can also benefit from Secura’s coverage, ensuring up to five members are protected under a single plan. These subscriptions are particularly beneficial for households with multiple individuals who may need assistance at different times or in various locations.

New in 2025: SOS Emergency Service

Secura’s new SOS Emergency Service launched this year and gives you a fast, reliable safety option — even without the app. Here’s how it works:

• Call 060 019 6054 from any phone.
• You’ll connect with Secura’s 24/7 control centre.
• Get help dispatched immediately, whether it’s armed response or medical assistance.

A direct line to help, day or night. The SOS service is designed for simplicity. Just a phone call and a tap to share your location. It’s accessible to anyone with a mobile phone and an active Secura subscription. The Secura SOS service eliminates delays by connecting you directly to a control centre agent who can dispatch help instantly. With live location sharing, responders know exactly where to go, even if you’re unable to speak. 

Secura Works Wherever You Are

The app and emergency response network aren’t limited to specific cities — Secura is national. Whether you’re:

• Training for a marathon in Cape Town,
• Hiking Drakensberg trails,
• Visiting family in rural areas,
• Or working long hours in Joburg traffic…

Secura gives you real-time protection via a network of over 200 private security partners. And because they use your phone’s GPS, response teams get to you faster than traditional emergency services. That’s what makes Secura different. You’re not left waiting, hoping someone finds you. You’re in control.

Mid-Year Means Mid-Course Correction

Mid-year isn’t just a calendar checkpoint — it’s a chance to reset, refocus, and refresh your goals. If your fitness or safety routines have drifted off track, now’s the time to bring them back in line. Use this moment to:

• Reassess your outdoor or fitness habits.
• Double-check your safety tech (app, phone, power bank).
• Renew your Secura subscription — and consider switching to a better deal.
• Share the SOS number with family and friends.

Don’t let the winter lull lower your guard. Staying safe is about forming habits, and right now is the perfect time to reinforce them.

Final Word: Protection That Keeps Up With You

In a world where personal safety feels increasingly uncertain, Secura gives you tools that are smart, simple, and scalable. Whether you’re active, commuting, working late, or staying home, you’re never out of reach.

• An app that connects to fast response
• Affordable plans that save you more over time
• A new SOS service for instant help anywhere

So don’t let winter slow you down or leave you exposed. Make the second half of 2025 your most secure stretch yet — with Secura in your pocket and help always within reach.
