Security Management Services
OLS Consulting Group Inc. helps clients maximize their protective resource budgets by acting as their "outsourced" security management element. Clients are able to purchase the required management services on a monthly basis according to their unique requirements. This greatly reduces the costs of operating and administering a corporate security department by eliminating the costs of maintaining a security manager and/or staff such as salary/wages, benefits and administrative support. Clients are also able to access the collective resources of a number of experienced security, safety and emergency management professionals instead of one full-time security manager with limited skills, experience and resources. Our services ensure that security resource procurement evolves in step with actual and not perceived requirements. OLS Consulting Group Inc. can manage stand-alone projects from initial concept to completion. From planning to cost estimation to vendor vetting and contracting, security service vendor performance tracking and metrics generation, we ensure your projects and ongoing departmental or organizational operations are successful, on time and on budget.
