Security Journal Americas (SJA)

What Security Journal Americas (SJA) does

Security Journal Americas (SJA) is a trade media publication covering the security industry across the Americas, operated by Centurian Media Limited, a UK-registered private limited company headquartered in London with an operating office in Maidstone, Kent. The company was founded in 2019 and serves security industry professionals — spanning physical security, cybersecurity, biometrics, access control, surveillance, smart cities, and adjacent verticals — through monthly magazine editions (digital and print), a news website, webinars, special reports, a video gallery, an events calendar, and an annual SJA Leaders Conference held in cities including Chicago. The underlying technology is a digital publishing platform with an HTML5-based digital magazine reader, embedded multimedia delivery (including YouTube), and a directory product called the Security Business Index; the company also operates active channels on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and YouTube, plus a free email newsletter subscription.

The business model is media/advertising-led: content is offered free to readers, with revenue implicitly generated through advertising, sponsored content, webinars, event sponsorships, and directory/index listings, although specific pricing, paid tiers, revenue figures, and advertiser concentration are not publicly disclosed. The product is positioned horizontally to a security-professional persona across 18+ industry sectors and 10+ product categories, and the company competes in a niche trade media segment rather than a mass-market publishing market. No public funding rounds, acquisitions, institutional investors, or external ownership have been disclosed, and management is led by Craig Stokes as the legal representative of Centurian Media Limited. SJA sits within a broader Centurian Media portfolio that includes International Security Journal (ISJ), Security Journal UK (SJUK), and International Fire and Safety Journal (IFSJ), creating cross-title audience leverage across geographies and adjacent safety verticals.
