G4S
Providing Holistic Service for Security Management

Hospitals and healthcare facilities in the U.S. are constantly challenged to maintain an open and secure environment as the threats—both physical and cyber—are increasing by leaps and bounds. Understanding this, a children’s hospital decided to identify the security vulnerabilities within their facility and reduce risks cost-effectively. They started looking for a partner to reach this goal and finally, selected Florida-based G4S—a leading global, integrated security company, specializing in the provision of security services and solutions to customers.

Engaging with the client, G4S conducted a risk assessment survey across the main facility and corporate office buildings. The survey results revealed the potential risks related to the lack of security personnel, access control, patient safety, and storage of patient information. Also, G4S found that employees lacked knowledge of the risks associated with workplace violence. Based on these outcomes, G4S advised the hospital to re-allocate their security personnel and hire a skilled human workforce for the Security Control Center. This enabled the hospital to enhance access control and ensure patient protection.

“We back your program with the world’s most vigilant guard force. Our integrated security solutions help you mitigate risk, reduce costs and decrease liability,” says Ashley Almanza, CEO of G4S. Being a provider of out-of-the-box and integrated strategies for risk mitigation, G4S undertakes a risk-based, data-driven approach and brings to the table its proprietary security risk management software to help clients build a continuous risk management strategy.

G4S takes great pride in delivering outstanding expertise and superior service

G4S’ suite of security solutions consists of four key constituents. Starting off with the company’s risk consulting that helps clients optimize business continuity strategies and programs for the protection of employees, assets, and business information. The second important corner where G4S focuses is on software and technology. “From electronic security systems to risk management software, to cash optimization and automation solutions, to performance and compliance tools, G4S remains the industry leader in security innovations,” says Almanza. Next, the company concentrates on systems integration and builds integrated security systems. “G4S takes great pride in delivering outstanding expertise and superior service. We can provide full turnkey services: taking a customer’s requirements, developing the concept, designing the network, selecting the product that best fits the requirements, and completing the installation,” comments Almanza. Finally, G4S has built an experienced and seasoned security-officer base that empowers clients to identify the right officer for specific security and customer-service requirements. Trained at its award-winning and ISO-certified North America Training Institute, these officers have gained the reputation of working effectively under complicated situations.

Such a unique service offering, instances of client success, and a team of experts have enabled G4S to carve a niche in the enterprise security market. Working in this space for years, the company understands that every client’s need and business model is different. So, instead of just offering a one-size-fits-all model, G4S tailors its solutions to address all their various demands. “Our business activities and relationships are built on trust, honesty, and openness. We do what we promise and always strive to do the right thing,” concludes Almanza.
