HIGH-SECURITy SYSTEMS DESIGN & INSTALLATIONS For Governmental & Commercial Facilities


Commercial and Government security design can materially differ from residential in two respects, the skill set of the criminal attempting a break-in is usually much greater and the existence of a potential insider makes the security infrastructure and devices more vulnerable to tampering during unarmed periods. Proper supervision of the cabling integrity and utilizing detection devices with built-in tamper switches along with self-diagnostic motion detectors and proper surge protection are critical to preserving uncompromised detection capabilities.

There are numerous simple circumvention techniques available on the internet, instructional videos on YouTube, and other detailed vulnerability information within nefarious publications. To the skilled and passionate security practitioner there are of course reasonable cost effective countermeasures for each of these system attacks. SSi of Midlothian & Richmond, VA thoroughly details these circumvention techniques within our system design proposals with line-item specific Threat vs. Countermeasure equipment listings.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS


Most commercial sites would not successfully pass an after-hours non-destructive "Red Team" physical security penetration test, and many security managers and owners would readily admit shortcomings in their current operational status. Yet as technology continues to progress and emerging threats multiply, most managers and owners simply do not have a readily available resource to evaluate and recommend corrective actions. Most current security providers fail to disclose existing vulnerabilities in the first place much less be a continuing educational resource. Many legacy systems become more vulnerable to defeat as technology progresses. SSi can thoroughly inspect and test for proper functionality as well as make recommendations for improvements within existing systems as well as properly design and propose new system installations.

CAMERA SYSTEMS


Surveillance systems are the fastest growing segment of the security arena. Video quality and storage formats have rapidly progressed while overall investment costs continue to decrease the cost of ownership. SSi can design and install professional grade equipment for your premises with on-site as well as vastly more secure cloud-based storage system options for remote access to historic files, live video streams, as well as pairing of real-time video verification to Access Control events. Video verification of alarm events are also a recommended option.
Remember you only have one burden of proof for successful convictions- "Beyond the shadow of doubt", an outcome usually unattainable with a cheap system or one that was physically destroyed, stolen, or the electronic data was irretrievably corrupted by intentional overcurrent attack.

ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS


Access Control Systems keep doors locked until authorized credentials are presented. Control of who can simply walk-in to your facility is becoming a mainstream application. Small businesses as well as large corporate and governmental entities need to manage access for a variety of reasons. Security is just one of the functionalities of these systems; they can provide great insights into productivity and can effectively leverage your management decisions with documented operational awareness for the entire premise especially when paired with an accompanying video clip. Control of supply rooms, IT rooms, cash offices, sensitive record holding areas-RHA, Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility- SCIF or other high-value asset rooms require access control.


New technology has created an emerging hacking threat to the long considered "secure" Wiegand card format. With covert eavesdropping RF readers commonly referred to as a skimmer and other surreptitious electronics currently available every access-controlled site desiring real security will need to upgrade their systems away from the Wiegand format.


Security Systems Inc., offers multiple access control platforms to meet your specific needs in Midlothian, Richmond, VA and beyond. Single door access solutions with our NexKey option. Small business applications covered with the Elk M1 and ConnectOne module. Medium / Large / Enterprise / High-Security Govt. installations with Gallagher security.
