What “Integrated Security” Means for You!

Guardian Integrated Security is not just a name — it is a plan to create a comprehensive, successful security program for each of our clients.

More Than Just One Option

While some security companies rely on just one or two options, GIS has a full solutions menu to create the most effective plan for you and your company. It is important to note that we are a security company utilizing cutting-edge technology, not a technology company that is trying to understand security. This is an important distinction and sets Guardian Integrated Security above others.

The Pitfall of the “One-Option Approach”

We have noticed that most of our competitors use, and even tell potential clients, that a “one-option approach” will meet their security needs. To be frank, we learned all they can do is the “one-option approach”.

While there may be times that it will work, we know from decades of security industry experience that, in most cases, multiple approaches bring a higher rate of success (meaning less vandalism, trespassing, and thefts on your property).

Filling the Full Circle of Protection

Think of your security needs as an outline of a full circle. One approach will usually only fill part of that outline. By using several methods, we can successfully fill the entire outline of your security needs. Remember, if the plan you are using isn’t successful, then it is just money wasted.

A Personalized Process from the Start

We begin our process with a free customer meeting and a walk-through of the property needing protection. We listen to your concerns and ask questions to learn more.

Tailored Plans Using a Range of Solutions

After, the team at GIS meets and puts together the most effective and affordable plan for you, which may include one or more of the following options:

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) cameras (both portable and fixed)
Remote monitoring
Emergency response to situations at your site
On-Site Security Officer(s)
Our ‘Hybrid Security’ plan
Mobile vehicle patrol unit

Clear Communication and Follow-Up

We will then send over a proposal to you and follow up to make sure there are no questions left unanswered, and you are comfortable with the plan moving forward.

Flexible Packages to Fit Your Budget

In preparing these security solutions outlines, we look to provide the highest level of protection within your budget. For example, we have packages that will bundle multiple solutions for you at economical prices.

Committed to Long-Term Partnerships

We appreciate our long-term customers and are always ready to welcome more to GIS. We achieve this by providing exceptional service and creative, effective security solutions at the best price for you and your company.

Decades of Leadership and Innovation

With over 60 years of leadership, we have the experience and state-of-the-art technology to create a customized plan for your company.

Technology-Driven, Security-Focused

It is worth mentioning again — GIS is a security company utilizing cutting-edge technology, not a technology company that is trying to understand security.

How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Construction Sites More Secure – Part 3

A.I. plays an important role in maintaining security. Perhaps you have a doorbell camera (such as Ring) which allows you to record footage, as well as see, hear, and communicate with visitors. Similar to that – only on a much larger scale – we use Artificial Intelligence (in conjunction with other tools and methods) to protect properties, projects, equipment, and people for our clients. A.I. is a formidable opponent against those wanting to do harm, and also secures properties.

The first installment of this series focused on the value and performance Artificial Intelligence adds to physical security patrols. Part 2 of this topic discussed how A.I. improves security and safety at construction sites. In this final segment, we’ll look at the role it plays in keeping equipment, and intellectual and physical property, secure.

Machine Learning and Predictions

A.I.-based systems are getting smarter, more intuitive, and constant technological advancements are making it possible for them to actually learn. Very exciting and useful developments (especially in the area of video analytics) are coming fairly soon, and they are partially being supported and funded by increased research and development investments across the industry. Some of these new or improved capabilities will allow clues in context, enhanced pattern matching, and smart tags – all of which will make remote monitoring protection solutions better able to more accurately predict when a theft, vandalism, or trespassing is likely imminent. In turn, construction sites that employ security companies who use these more advanced A.I. systems will be more secure.

The Past Can Prevent the Future

Artificial Intelligence can pick up video of thefts and security concerns that can be used to create predictive models showing the potential for a future similar incident to occur. This information is also useful in figuring out aspects of a construction site or property that should be changed to make the area more protected. Having an experienced security company from the beginning of projects not only provides these capabilities, but also ensures a more secure environment and acts as a deterrent against thieves, trespassers, and vandals from day one.

Theft of Supplies and Proprietary Information

A.I.-enabled security solutions can help identify and deter theft at construction sites, where stolen supplies and equipment can account for 10–25% of project materials. Often, stolen items are resold before anyone realizes they’re missing.

Remote monitoring with advanced cameras can be the difference between finishing over or under budget. Criminals often blend in easily, walking or driving off with valuable tools and materials. Some intrusions even involve industrial espionage, leading to significant financial loss.

Proactively detecting these threats is crucial. Guardian Integrated Security incorporates cutting-edge A.I. into our custom solutions, helping protect against theft and information breaches.

We stay ahead of evolving technologies and regularly update our systems. This is just one way A.I. enhances site security—check out our March and April 2021 newsletters for more insights.

San Diego Apartment Complex Vandalized Again

An under-construction San Diego apartment complex and adjacent parking structures, under construction for almost 6 years, was vandalized. The hoodlums, apparently with some anger issues to work out, decided this property was the place to do it, and really went to town. In an attempt to resolve their troubles and put an end to whatever they were frustrated about, they:

Tagged with spray paint ALL of the walls in the structures
Drove the golf cart on-site into a wall on the upper floor
Victimized a large, but innocent, forklift by pouring dirt into the oil tank
Thought the forklift didn’t “learn its lesson”, so also cut the lines, completely disabling it with the forks a few stories in the air
Tipped over stacks of materials, which made a mess and more than annoyed workers the next day

In 2019, a San Diego construction site suffered $10,000 in damages despite having so-called “corporate security,” which employees admitted was inadequate. With no reported arrests or restitution, the case remains unresolved. Had Guardian Integrated Security been on the job, our A.I.-enabled systems could have detected the intruders, triggered alerts, activated on-site deterrents, and notified authorities—potentially stopping the incident before it began.
