Because most organizations possess trade secrets, every company risks intellectual property theft by competitors or other interested parties.
The challenge is particularly great because such activity is often facilitated by insiders and is frequently harder to perceive than theft of physical assets—but can represent a much greater loss to any given business.
Vigilant security officers are critical to preventing theft of confidential information. Through effective access control—and by monitoring activities of employees and visitors at all hours—aware security personnel can detect subtle signs. They are completely focused on proper execution of procedures.
Because of their critical role, these security officers must first be verified as trustworthy individuals through Guardsmark’s rigorous background screening process.
Guardsmark executives bring years of experience with such agencies as the FBI, the Secret Service, the military, and other law enforcement organizations. With vast knowledge of crime prevention issues, our expertise can help clients pinpoint—and reduce—vulnerabilities.
