In today’s rapidly evolving security landscape, risk management and compliance for security companies are no longer optional—it’s a necessity. The complexity of security regulations, licensing requirements, and risk management is daunting, especially for private and electronic security companies trying to navigate the many laws and regulations that govern their industry.

Our expertise in security industry regulations and licensing is unmatched, and our goal is simple: To streamline your compliance processes so you can save time, avoid costly mistakes, and stay ahead of the competition.
Why Compliance Consulting and Risk Management Are Essential for Security Companies
The private and electronic security industry is governed by a myriad of local and state regulations, all designed to protect the public, ensure professional standards, and maintain the integrity of the security sector. From licensing and certification to employee background checks and training, compliance can become a complex maze of requirements that security companies must navigate. Missteps along the way can result in hefty fines, operational delays, and even business closures.
By working with CMS, you ensure that you not only meet these regulatory requirements but also implement a proactive risk management strategy that protects your company from potential compliance-related penalties and reputational damage. Our Compliance Consulting services provide you with the guidance, tools, and expertise to meet all necessary compliance standards efficiently and effectively.
How Our Risk Management Process Works
At CMS, our process is straightforward, thorough, and customized to your business needs. We know that each security company is unique, so we tailor our services to your specific operations, location, and business goals. Here’s an overview of how we can help you get compliant—and stay compliant:
Step 1: Deep Dive Into Your Business
We begin with a detailed assessment of your business to fully understand your needs and operations. This involves asking a range of questions about your services, geographic locations, and employee structures. The more we know about your company, the better we can advise you on the exact requirements you must meet to operate legally and effectively in your specific market.
Step 2: Identify Required Licenses
Based on the information we gather, we’ll determine exactly which licenses and certifications you need. This is critical because the types of licenses you need will vary depending on your location and the services you offer. We create a comprehensive summary of the licensing requirements for each state, county, and local jurisdiction you plan to work in.
Step 3: Prepare the Application Package
Next, we take the hassle out of the licensing process by preparing the entire application package for you. This includes gathering all required documentation, filling out applications, and ensuring that everything is in order. We’ll also help schedule any required entry education courses, certification exams, and fingerprint appointments, ensuring you meet all prerequisites for the licensing process.
Step 4: Quality Control Check and Submission
Once the application package is complete, we perform a thorough quality control check to make sure everything is accurate, complete, and ready for submission. Our expert team ensures that there are no missing forms or information, preventing delays in the approval process. After this, we submit your application directly to the licensing agency.
Step 5: Ongoing License Management
Once your license is issued, we don’t just walk away. Your license is added to our renewal pool, meaning we’ll track and manage its renewal dates, ensuring you never miss a deadline. With CMS managing your compliance, you can focus on what matters most—running your business—while we take care of the rest.
