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.

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.

Quick, painless, and efficient. There’s no better way to get compliant!

At CMS, Our Services Include:

1. State Licensing

Understanding and obtaining the appropriate state-level licensing is a key part of operating legally and ethically. We guide you through the entire process, ensuring you’re compliant in every state where you operate.

 

2. Local Licensing

Local jurisdictions often have their own requirements that differ from state regulations. We assist you in obtaining and maintaining all local licenses and permits needed to operate in specific municipalities.

3. Employee Licensing

To ensure your security personnel are qualified, licensed, and ready for work, we help you navigate the employee licensing process. This includes background checks, training, and certifications required for your staff.

4. Alarm Permitting

For security companies involved in alarm installation and monitoring, CMS helps with the permitting process for alarm systems. We ensure that your company meets all regulations governing alarm systems in the areas where you operate.

5. Subcontractor Licensing

If you work with subcontractors, you must ensure that they too meet licensing requirements. We manage subcontractor licensing and ensure that all subcontractors working for your company are fully compliant.

6. Other State Filings

In addition to licensing, there are a variety of other filings and regulatory requirements, such as annual reports and insurance updates that may apply to your business. We manage these to ensure you meet all your legal obligations.
