When stakeholders, be it employees, tenants, students, staff, patients, or shoppers, are engaged, their perception of security improves drastically.


 

Many companies, including major corporations, have a number of physical security programs but no specific executive protection strategy or program. In this blog, we address three questions that corporations need to ask when considering whether to set up an EP program.

A sizeable effort must be invested into your security RFP process. After proposals are received, vetting and qualifying providers that meet your every day and extraordinary requirements takes time, sound input and a real understanding of what and where your security needs exist. This is all based on your risk profile, incident experience, industry, brand, and many other factors. To achieve the maximum return, this process must extend beyond the planning and production. Careful proposal evaluation and interaction with quality providers is critical.

The request for proposal (RFP) process to select a security officer services provider helps an organization formalize the opportunity, effectively budget and identify quality providers. There are a number of key points to keep in mind to help you narrow the field.

Security officers often serve as the first and last impression of a residential community, complex or building. It is important that residents, their families and their guests feel safe, secure and welcome.
