Security Risk Assessment and Planning

The cannabis industry faces high-stakes risks, including theft and product damage. Since cannabis products have high value, assessing security risks and taking preventative measures is crucial to prevent product and profit losses.

Our operational security services include establishing protocols for theft prevention and threat management, such as enforcing authentication technology throughout your facility. Our team will identify your security risks and implement detailed plans to protect your company. You can work with us to customize our services to meet your unique needs.

Pittsburgh Dispensary Facility Security

Grow facility security is essential in the cannabis industry. Cannabis is a desirable and profitable product, and sales have a heavy cash flow. These factors mean your grow facility is at risk of theft and vandalism. Other events like fires can result in the loss of products and profits.

 

As part of our facility security, RiP Security will deploy a team of dispensary security guards to protect your building. Our team will:

  • Prevent unauthorized individuals from trespassing on your property.
  • Conduct security checks of the restricted areas of your grow facility.
  • Protect your assets and equipment from damage.
  • Prepare for unexpected emergencies.
  • De-escalate potentially threatening situations.

In all of these scenarios, RiP Security will ensure the safety of your customers, employees and assets, so your grow facility will be a secure environment for everyone.

  • Litigation Mitigation

    Providing rapid responses to emergencies is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to world-class security. Mitigating litigation is another essential service that RiP Security delivers. We care about you and your employees’ safety, and we believe that preventing a disaster is better than responding to one. When you work with our security professionals, you’re partnering with individuals trained to detect hazards and stop threats before they happen.

    Any security company can protect your company against break-ins and other criminal activity. RiP Security goes above and beyond by actively monitoring security threats while surveying the grounds for OSHA violations and other safety issues. If we see something, we say something, no matter what. The main aim of our mitigation litigation service is to protect your workforce with the added benefit of saving you from facing lawsuits or fines related to safety violations.

    Larger security companies fixate on quantity over quality. They focus on putting more bodies on the ground to deter criminal behavior, and these security guards add little value beyond that. Our trained team receives world-class training in threat detection and proactive mitigation. We’re committed to securing your property while saving you money and keeping your team safe.

Transportation Security

Marijuana is vulnerable while in transit. Cannabis is susceptible to theft and tampering, which could negatively affect your product’s compliance with regulations. Our transportation security service will protect the product throughout transit to ensure the integrity and compliance of your cannabis, creating a plan based on your cargo, locations and risks.

RiP Security will also protect your assets and employees during:

  • Employee termination: If you need to terminate an employee, our dispensary security guards will consult and plan with you to keep all involved safe. The officers can protect your team during the event and contain escalated behavior. Guards can also escort the former employee from the facility and transport them off your property.
  • Employer asset retrieval: We’ll manage the transportation of your cannabis products, equipment, technology, money and other valuables. This service includes secure pickup and delivery and item location if the asset is missing before our involvement. Our officers will ensure that your assets arrive intact at their destination.
