Security Management Services International, Inc. (www.smsiinc.com) is offering a unique and innovative approach to cost-effective security management. The security challenges facing enterprises in today’s economic environment can be daunting. The nature of these security challenges ranges from the threats posed by a wide range of criminal enterprise on one hand and on the other hand finding the means to address these challenges with limited and scarce resources. Security programs are asked to cut back, even as threats and risks are on the rise. Tough economic times also produce a whole new set of security concerns. This means that Security Programs must be more effective and more sophisticated while at the same time operating on tighter budgets. Security Programs must therefore be specifically targeted to meet the unique needs of the organizations they serve and this mission must accomplished efficiently with cost effectiveness.
Meeting these objectives requires experienced security management coupled with the application of the latest security technology. This security technology must be applied appropriately toward the solving of security problems through the effective use of CCTV, access management systems and alarm systems. When required, security vulnerabilities will need to be addressed through the effective use of security personnel, including uniformed officers. In today’s economic environment all of these decisions going forward must be data driven. Security programs that are not driven by metrics will not be effective and they will not stand the test of time.
In order to ensure that security programs are predicated on hard data, and that security programs remain dynamic and capable of adjusting to new and ever-changing challenges, Security Management Services International (SMSI) is offering a unique combination of cost effective services to their clients, enabling them to meet the challenges of tomorrow with cost-efficiency.
In order to deliver these security management services, SMSI has formed a Strategic Partnership with PPM2000 (www.ppm2000.com), the world leader in the development of Security Management Software. Through the use of PPM 2000’s Perspective Premium Incident Management Package, SMSI will be able to monitor their clients’ security events. This will allow SMSI to spot trends early-on and make the necessary adjustments aimed at extinguishing sparks well before they become fires.
The SMSI Security Management Support Program (SMS) is intended to support existing security programs by providing less experienced in-house security managers with the support of a group of highly experienced Board Certified Protection Professionals Certified in Security Management. This management support will be facilitated through the use of PPM 2000’s Perspective Premium Security Management Software. This software will be provided by SMSI on a subscription basis and will reside on a secure hosted site with no local software installation required.
