Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) is a company diversity registration designated under the Veteran Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-461). Registration ensures that companies qualify for preferential procurement for federal contracts if they are owned and controlled by Veterans.
This certification is non-industry specific and requires that the firm meets the small business requirements established by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Additionally, it requires that the company is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a veteran.
Every single day, security professionals around the world are faced with the challenge of responding to security and safety alerts. They are the first line of defense, tasked with protecting people, property, and valuable assets. Whether it's a live alarm situation or a scenario that occurred when no one was immediately available to react, security professionals must be prepared to handle any situation that comes their way.
The approach taken by security professionals can vary depending on various factors. The level of risk at the site, the operational procedures in place, and the number of personnel available all play a role in determining the best course of action. It is crucial for security professionals to assess these factors and adapt their response accordingly.
Whether you oversee a 24x7 security operations center or are responsible for remote, unmanned locations, the ultimate goal remains the same - to ensure a safe and secure environment for your team, visitors, and valuable assets. This is not a responsibility to be taken lightly. It requires a proactive mindset and a commitment to staying ahead of potential threats.
Before investing in new technologies, it is essential to carefully assess your mission, processes, and procedures. This includes evaluating your budget and the expectations of stakeholders. By conducting a thorough analysis, you can identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions about which technologies will best support your security objectives.
