Platinum Security Operations didn’t appear overnight. It’s the current chapter of a security business that has protected Melbourne’s biggest events and venues for two decades, built on more than 25 years of combined industry experience.
Some security companies talk about big events. We’ve spent twenty years working them, week in and week out.
The business began in 2005 as MGSS, cutting its teeth on some of the hardest crowds in the country. In 2013 it grew into United Risk Management, taking on corporate contracts and the marquee events that define Melbourne’s calendar. In 2024 we brought it all together under one name: Platinum Security Operations.
Through every one of those changes, the people, the discipline and the standard stayed the same. What changed was scale, and today that means three divisions, security, traffic management and facilities, delivered to clients across Australia.
How a Melbourne security crew grew into a national, multi-division operation.
The business launched as MGSS, working some of Melbourne’s most demanding crowds, the Big Day Out, live-music and club venues, and dance parades, through to 2009. It was fast, high-pressure work, and it set the standard for everything that followed.
United Risk Management was established to take on corporate security and major-event contracts. This is where the systems, planning discipline and long-term client relationships that still run the business were built.
Ongoing security across Melbourne & Olympic Parks, the Melbourne Cup, Australian Open, Commonwealth Games, Marvel Stadium (formerly Etihad), the Australian MotoGP and country festivals including Tanglewood, alongside steady corporate and commercial work.
We rebranded to Platinum Security Operations, one name, one point of contact and one operational standard, to reflect what the business had become and to keep growing.
Building on that foundation, we now deliver security, traffic management and facilities services nationwide, applying the same rigour to a guarded event, a live traffic environment or a government facility.
Two decades of major events and venues, secured under one team.
Three companies, three logos, one way of working. These are the constants clients have relied on since 2005.
Every deployment is mapped before anyone steps on site. It’s the habit we built managing crowds in the tens of thousands, and it’s why clients trust us with their biggest days.
Licensed, continually trained officers who de-escalate, communicate and act under pressure, keeping people safe without changing the mood of the room.
The same people, the same standard, whatever the job. One point of contact who owns the outcome across security, traffic and facilities.
Platinum Security Operations runs under the direction of Mina Attalah, who has carried the business through every stage of its growth, from its earliest event work to the national, multi-division operation it is today.
That continuity is the point. When you engage Platinum, you’re working with a team that has spent two decades getting the details right, and a standard that doesn’t change with the name on the door.
Whether it’s an event, a worksite or a facility, you get the same team and discipline that has secured Melbourne’s biggest stages since 2005.
