Gone are the days where a lone security guard may be the only defense for an organization after hours.

The security services industry now employs a multichannel approach for enhancing the work of security personnel. By utilizing technology such as cameras, digital alarms, GPS tracking, and more, organizations can create a more dimensional, more precise standard of safety for clients. This improved level of safety is a high priority for many organizations today; with spotlights on worldwide and domestic terrorism, digital security issues, and more, industry services are possibly more valuable — and more in demand — than ever.

An Industry Poised for Growth

According to IBISWorld, an industry market research firm, the security services industry is estimated to bring in over 40 billion dollars in revenue in 2019. Over the last five years, industry activity has grown by over 3.5 percent and, today, nearly 868,000 Americans work within the security space. In a rapidly growing industry like this, it is no surprise organizations are facing a new slew of opportunities and challenges.

Proactive Security Is Only Possible With Precision

Perhaps the biggest opportunity? A shift in reactive security to proactive protection. Tech-driven tools help improve security organizations’ ability to reduce incidents before they even happen. While products and software can never replace the importance of security personnel, it has already proven to be invaluable in streamlining their efforts. However, with these unique opportunities comes corresponding challenges. Insufficient research and data, outdated reporting methods, and poor communication across large teams are roadblocks to the industry’s potential advancements in the near future. Precise data and clear communication are needed to accurately predict future security threats.

How can Verity help?

Luckily, Verity understands the unique position the security services industry is in. Our proprietary platform offers the tools security service organizations need to synchronize and share their incident reports in order to create valuable data for predictive analysis. And with Verity, your solution is never one-size-fits-all. While a regional security team or a national department store may have vastly different security needs, Verity can create a custom solution for both. Below, let’s take a closer look at how Verity can solve the problems that face security service teams:

Comprehensive Communication Across Locations or Areas

Multiple locations multiply the necessary security support and infrastructure. Whether five miles or 500 miles, distance between locations means security can become fragmented and siloed. To properly manage and respond to theft, trespassing, or other incidents happening across geographical areas, one central hub is needed. Verity’s digital platform can provide a comprehensive view of the entire operation. It lends efficiency and uniformity to communication, no matter the location. Verity allows users to tag the appropriate personnel as they record the incident, saving time and confusion.

Trackable Data on Critical Assets for 24/7 Protection

GPS monitoring is just one of the many technological innovations that helps power modern security services. Verity can act as a digital map or catalog of assets from security vehicles to equipment. At a glance, security personnel can determine the location of any critical asset and make swift decisions when theft or loss occurs.

Reduction in Future Security Incidents

Data-based decision-making is critical for large security service organizations. Finding ways to better report, track, and analyze qualitative data is imperative for decreasing incidents in the future. Verity catalogs data entries and translates them into visual graphs and charts that help to reveal insights that could have otherwise been overlooked. When security incidents reveal a pattern, they can be understood and better handled in the future.

Shareable Data with Key Decision-Makers

Security service groups often rely on partnerships with law enforcement, legal teams, or their client’s management teams. Being able to share important data and reports on security issues is key to resolving issues quickly. Verity allows third-party accessibility so key stakeholders can view limited information pertaining to a certain inquiry or area. One digital platform removes the hassle and confusion of outdated spreadsheets or endless email attachments. It also improves digital security around the sharing of confidential information.
