Security Personnel:
IBIS provides motivated, trained, professional and competent security personnel for a variety of clients with a variety of needs. Security guards secure premises, monitor visitors and operations, monitor inbound and outbound shipments, log details of inbound and outbound shipments and control access.
IBIS Guards are trained, alert, articulate and well-turned-out in uniform styles including: Dress, work, plain clothes or combat.
IBIS supervisors are experienced, qualified and provide 24 hour client point of contact. IBIS implements constant and positive site patrol monitoring with communications.

Virtual Security Services:
Where appropriate, IBIS provides “virtual security guards” and “virtual concierges”. Not only is this system cost effective it can be more efficient for routine visitor control and safer in hostile areas. The system is custom designed with kiosks and modules that fit the client’s needs.
Example: A client’s facility has to process many visitors. Currently 5 receptionists and security guards do this, but there are always long line ups. With 10 IBIS kiosks, the line ups disappeared, each visitor is photographed or videoed, and has their driver’s license or other ID scanned. The computer verifies the visitor is approved for entry, ensures the escort is waiting for the visitor and opens the gate for access. This is a simple basic system.
Biometric systems, weapons and explosive detection, facial recognition, multiple identifiers, and other appropriate controls are available as required. For truck deliveries and pickups, identifiers and tracking data such as license plates, bar codes, manifests and other paperwork can be scanned, processed and verified. Routine documents can be automatically completed and printed for the driver or visitor. There is always a human controller, but one controller can handle numerous kiosks, and deal with each visitor.

CCTV Systems:
Each IBIS CCTV system is unique to the specific requirements of our client’s requirements, business operations and budget.
All systems are digital and unless otherwise instructed, all systems can see-in-the-dark and can be remotely monitored by the client’s personnel or by an IBIS Monitoring Center.
A system can be as simple as a few hardwired day/night cameras monitoring the lobby and stairways of a building on weekends; or as sophisticated as “smart” cameras that:
• Transmit their signals to the DVR wirelessly or via fibre optics, (removing the
need to string
wires or trench);
• Track people inside a fence but not outside;
• Ignore visitors walking southbound, but track visitors walking northbound;
• Identify and track a package left in the lobby through the building;
• Recognize faces;
• Alert the IBIS Monitoring Centre and client personnel in a cascading call list;
• Perform a burgeoning number of other security tasks.

IBIS Monitoring Centers:
IBIS CCTV Systems allow the IBIS Secure Monitoring Center to constantly monitor the client’s premises, receive immediate automated intrusion or other events and observe the events as they occur.
IBIS off-site secure Monitoring Centers are all located in North America and can handle international feeds, multiple clients, or can be client specific. The satellite information feed is handled by one of the most sophisticated and secure satellite communication facilities in the world. The site that handles the Western Hemisphere is located in North America.
The personnel in IBIS local monitoring centers are kept up to date with your site specific details, what is normal access, and what is intruder access. If an incident occurs, the video is backed up saved to a secure section of your data stream for evidence purposes should you require it.

Active Equipment Recovery Systems:
The latest technology allows IBIS to trace and track by satellite our installed equipment and vehicle tracking systems. The systems can be programmed with client specific geo-fence alerts which will instantly alert the IBIS Monitoring Centre and transmit a message to you by text mail.
Equipment can be tracked once it leaves your facility or remote site, making recovery faster and evidence easier to document.

The vehicle’s location and changing position can be viewed on a map, a satellite aerial or hybrid view. Installation in company vehicles can be hidden or in plain sight. Specialized products can be installed on trailers or reefers to provide alerts on a variety of signals such as temperature drop, door open etc.
Example: A temporary construction site has an expensive specialized piece of equipment which is used on a 10 acre site. Sufficient security guards and cameras are cost prohibitive. IBIS will install a vehicle tracker with a Geo-fence to match the construction site boundary. If the vehicle goes outside the site, a text message will be sent simultaneously to the IBIS Monitoring Center and to the client’s designated duty personnel to take action.
Example: In a contentious divorce, one party is concerned that the party with access may move the child out of the jurisdiction. IBIS can discreetly place a tracking device in an item with the child such as a teddy bear or a backpack, and be alerted if the child crosses an invisible geo-fence boundary or access conditions are not met.

Satellite Fleet Tracking:
Fleet tracking is essential for any company that has their own vehicles on the road, vessels at sea or aircraft in the air; and in many cases for companies that entrust valuable or perishable property to contractors for critical transport.
Example: The Operations Director of a mid-sized transportation company was concerned about his company’s potential exposure for product spoilage, late shipments, missing scheduled maintenance, excessive emissions and gas consumption. Some of the solutions IBIS fleet tracking provided include:
• OB2D and other Connections - user defined vehicles and vehicle groups.
• Real time minute by minute tracking and location - Bread crumb trail.
• Ignition on/off detecting – Speed.
• Accurate Idling detection - Multiple site poly-geometric Geo-fencing.
• Customer sites - Prohibited sites.
• Efficient, detailed vehicle reports – Maintenance – Service.
• Scheduled and exception reporting - Reefer reports.
• History - Cost analysis – Fuel saving – Emission reductions.
• Dramatic liability exposure reduction.

Physical Security Assessments:
Have you had a Security Survey done recently?
An IBIS Physical Security Assessment is like a check up at the doctors. You may think that your company’s handling of security is OK. There haven’t been any major thefts lately and no complaints, but perhaps those nagging aches should be looked at.
What is the Purpose of a Security Assessment? Why can’t I just buy a book?
IBIS never gives you a “canned” report. IBIS team members spend time at your facilities, observing, interviewing management and staff, and then they report to the IBIS Team Leader on a large number of issues. The final report is specific to your situation, and provides recommendations, rated as to urgency, for you to consider for implementation.
I don’t think I need a Security Assessment!
Good, but how about going and looking to see if the passwords to the computer are written on a piece of paper in the top drawer of someone’s desk? (If you find one written on a post-it note on the computer monitor, please donate $10.00 to the charity of your choice). (One FBI field office had to). Now, try to get a blank Company cheque without asking for a key to a locked cabinet. In many offices the blank cheques sit on a shelf in an unlocked supply area. Have you reviewed your critical incidents to determine if they could have been avoided if the designated procedures had been followed?
We’re not a factory, we’re a Law firm or Accounting firm.
Do we need a Security Survey?
Yes. Theft of laptops, cameras, petty cash, blank cheques, supplies and stationary are serious problems in many offices. Try walking around after hours and see what client data is lying around on people’s desks. Would it damage your business if someone photocopied some of your client’s files or financial records and gave them to the press or the competition?
Do you have branch plants?
Does one in particular always seem to have shrinkage problems? An IBIS Security Assessment at each plant, with the goal of creating universality in systems and measures, will determine the reason for the problems. IBIS works in a variety of situations, in a variety of countries from highly industrialized metropolitan centers, to developing countries. Do you hear, “Oh it’s different because we are in “xxx”. There is no country or culture anywhere that accepts fraud and theft as normal behavior!
Anyway, wouldn’t it disrupt operations too much?
Not much. We schedule interviews and meetings so as to cause as little disruption as possible. Usually the employees who complain the most are the ones who don’t want anyone to find out how little they really are doing.
What about vulnerabilities in our computer system?
As part of an IBIS IT Assessment, our computer forensic technicians can examine your computer policies and procedures as well as your hardware, LAN and NAC systems and technical baseline security measures, including data storage, data backup and storage management, upgrade and patch management, password and encryption procedures and assessment of logical access controls.
