Today’s guest is leading the charge for innovation in the security services and property technology sector. He’s the author of Security Integrated Guarding: 21st Century Multi-family Housing and Commercial Real Estate Handbook. Please welcome to the show, Steve Muntean. Steve is the Chief Executive Officer at Overwatch Capital. He joins the host Anna Redmond to discuss what to look for in a security company and the best way to stay safe.


Takeaways:

  • People that are hiring security professionals are often on a budget and instead of focusing on what their security challenges are they end up focusing on how they can get someone on a budget friendly option without considering the risks of that choice.
  • When you are looking at hiring security professionals, make sure that the company who will be going with aligns with your goals and if they fit into the infrastructure you have in place.
  • There are many different factors to consider when you are shopping for security options. Some good things to consider is how long the company has been in business, what the org chart looks like and who runs the company.
  • A lot of times the business executives miss the strain that is being placed on first responders right now and they expect a certain level of work that might not be achievable right now.
  • Software as a Service is growing significantly to help support security centric organizations. With technology constantly evolving, there is now GPS tracking and time and attendance tracking which can help to improve the reports for security.
  • If you pick the right company for your security needs and you are deploying them for the right reason, then the value of your asset will increase and it can reduce your insurance premiums.
  • When it comes to working with a security vendor, you want to have trust that your vendor is saying and doing the right thing, but you also need a way to verify that. This can be done through nightly reports or scanning QR codes for someone to log in.

    21:07 “What do you ask questions to make sure you're getting a successful security company? For me it's really having an executive team and a management team to cover your blind spots.”
