The Benefits of outsourcing Security
Here are reasons to outsource security, according to Joe Ricci, executive director of the National Association of Security Companies (NASCO).
CONTRACT ADVANTAGES
Reduce administrative, office and operational overhead to recruit, screen, license, train, schedule, uniform, manage and pay security officers.
- Increase efficiency and productivity by concentrating on core security and business functions.
- Improve management of officers and quality due to focus of the contractor.
- Increase ability to define the service requirements.
- Access specific supplier benefits, economies of scale and “learned” best practices, i.e., recruiting, screening, training, management, post-orders, scheduling, payroll and operations.
- Increase flexibility to meet changing business and security conditions.
Spread risk and liability.
This is the single most compelling reason. Companies with proprietary in house programs are liable for any incident resulting from the action or inaction of their officers, as well as deficiencies in the training, operation and management of their program.
- Leverage contractors project management experience, security expertise and investment in people, equipment and technology.
- Minimize requirements to track and implement changing standards.
- Reduce costs and lower ongoing investment required in internal infrastructure, turning fixed costs into variable costs.
The Outsourcing Institute finds “outsourcing is rapidly becoming a management tool for redefining and re- energizing the corporation. It challenges today’s executives to rethink the traditional, vertically integrated firm in favor of a more flexible organization structured around core competencies and long-term, outside relationships.”
