  • Self-Sustaining Security Programs

    When you add a new element to your security program, does that add an additional burden on you?

     

    Overly burdensome security programs often have these attributes:

    • High personnel stress level
    • Long work hours for managing personnel
    • Good business practices tend to fade over time
    • Security program documentation goes out of date
    • It becomes increasingly harder to keep up with business changes and risk changes

    The Missing Management Process

    In most such cases what's missing from security process and procedures is an appropriate process for managing security.   [Read More]

  • What Clients & Colleagues Say

    RBCS has provided services on a number of mission critical systems projects for the Port Authority. Project include the airport security and airside access control systems for three international airports, as well as for the permanent security system for our 100-story office tower housing our own headquarters and the headquarters of many national and international firms. Ray and his firm have materially contributed to the successful delivery of these systems, through the provision of project support services from the early states of the project through installation and final acceptance testing.

    — Assistant Director, Information Services Department, Major Bi-State Port Authority

    I am thankful for all Ray’s assistance in the installation of new airside security systems at the Port Authority’s three airports. The task of installing new systems on the very aggressive schedule we had was an extremely challenging task. The three systems are extensive with many miles of fiber optic cable, scores of communications nodes, dual redundant servers, hundreds of access points and one hundred thousand cardholders.
