5 Warning Signs Your Security Contractor is Not Your Best Mitigation Partner
Organizations often contract with a security provider as a reaction to a recent situation. It may be due to theft, property damage, poor performance from an existing provider, or just a feeling of general uneasiness.
Putting a warm body in a uniform at the front entrance or in the parking lot without ever identifying the true nature of the risk seems to be standard practice.
A truly professional security firm conducts a full analysis of all the risks associated with your organization.
They present you with an overall strategy to reduce, eliminate, and enhance your current and future endeavors.
Isn’t that what you really want?
Here are 5 warning signs your current security provider may not be your best mitigation partner.
1. Does your security contractor provide highly trained and credentialed subject matter experts in security and risk mitigation?
2. Has your security contractor worked with you to create post orders that are specific to the needs of your organization? Are they regularly reviewed for changes? Have you approved of them?
3. Has your security provider brought in credentialed security experts to identify all of the risks to your enterprise? Have they provided you with a complete risk assessment and strategy that includes instructing and training your staff?
4. Does your security provider have a 24/7 live dispatch center and anytime access to their senior management staff?
5. A professional security partner offers a comprehensive array of services including, but not limited to:
- Concierge Services
- Remote monitoring and access control
- High-profile, low-profile, or undercover options
- In-depth background investigations
- Armed and unarmed fully trained officers
