Brian C. McIlravey shared thisTHIS > "championship of security as a business priority. When senior leaders see security as a value driver rather than a cost centre, everything else becomes easier. ". This this this. #securityBrian C. McIlravey shared thisI've walked into a lot of corporate security programs over the years. Some of them were genuinely excellent. Others looked excellent on paper and fell apart the moment you asked the right questions. After nearly four decades in this industry, I've come to believe that what separates a truly strong security program from one that just looks good comes down to three things. The first is leadership. Not just support from the top, but genuine understanding and championship of security as a business priority. When senior leaders see security as a value driver rather than a cost centre, everything else becomes easier. When they don't, even the best security team is pushing uphill every single day. The second is real risk focus. Strong programs are built around what actually threatens the organization, not around satisfying a checklist or passing an audit. Compliance is a floor, not a ceiling. The organizations that treat it as the destination are the ones that get caught off guard. The third is culture. Security cannot live exclusively inside the security department. When it does, the organization is only as strong as that one team. The programs I've seen perform best are the ones where security is woven into how every department thinks and operates, where people at every level understand their role in keeping the organization safe. Leadership, risk focus, and culture. Get all three right and your security program becomes a genuine asset. Miss any one of them and the gaps will show up eventually, usually at the worst possible moment. Which of these three does your organization do best? And where is the biggest opportunity to improve? #JDKilleenAndAssociates #CorporateSecurity #SecurityStrategy #CanadianSecurity #SecurityLeadership #CPP

Brian C. McIlravey shared thisThis is the way. Thrive Logic just became one of the first command center apps to do REAL indoor mapping connected to incident response. Cutting edge.Brian C. McIlravey shared thisFloor plans haven't changed security response in decades. Our new integration with Mappedin just did. 🏢 By embedding real-time indoor mapping directly into Thrive Logic’s platform, teams can now see exactly where an incident is happening... down to the room, corridor, or access point and respond with precision. This goes beyond static floor plans to provide live, actionable context. • Pinpoint incidents instantly • See where movement is precisely happening • Connect video, access control, and sensors to exact locations • Give responders the clarity they need when seconds matter 👉 Read the full announcement about our new partnership: https://lnkd.in/eQaMRwH8 #AI #PhysicalSecurity #SmartBuildings #SituationalAwareness #SecurityInnovation #ThriveLogic

Brian C. McIlravey shared thisSuper post from colleague Lucas Beeby talking about turning your guest/wayfinding indoor map into a mission essential operational and security platform! These team is gettin' it :) #security #incidentresponseBrian C. McIlravey shared thisI've talked to a lot of stadium operations teams about security protocols inside their venues. Pretty much every single one has the same reaction: "Yeah, we’re compliant." But can your Security or Ops teams answer these questions in an emergency? -- Where are our closest security staff right now to the incident? -- There's a facility issue near Gate C—which staff can we redirect? -- Where are the closest exits to the event happening right now? That's where digital mapping is changing stadium operations today. Yes, the right digital layer can solve for fan engagement and wayfinding. But it can also act as a security center for your Ops team. Real-time visibility into where your people are, where incidents are occurring, and where your coverage gaps are, all on a live map that your ops team can actually use during an event. Brian C. McIlravey and I talk about this constantly. The safety conversation in stadiums isn't about fans finding exits. It's about operators having a clear picture of what's happening inside their building at any given moment. DM me if you want to see what it could do for your stadium. Happy to chat.

Brian C. McIlravey posted thisA partner we've been working with recently asked us how many maps we could deliver and how fast. I gave them a number. Somewhere between 10,000 and 37,000 maps depending on how they wanted to scale it. When I told them what it would cost, their response surprised me. They said, "No problem." This is a scaled organization managing thousands of locations. They've seen a LOT of vendor pitches. What made this an easy decision for them was the long-term impact: Easy to build. Easy to update. Easy to deploy at scale. When you can hand a partner a mapping solution that their team can get up and running fast, that doesn't require a GIS specialist to operate, and that actually shows the interior of a facility rather than a dot on a satellite image, the ROI conversation gets very short very fast. Another OEM partner recently told me "we don’t work without Mappedin, without you guys, there is no starting point”. We are an essential part of their tool kit during mission critical events. If you're an integrator still building your indoor mapping story, now's the time. DM me if you’re curious.

Brian C. McIlravey posted thisThere’s a major misconception in the Security space that has always irked me. Most people think of security as the team that only shows up when something goes wrong. But that's only half the story. I was on-site recently with a large retail property. It was a big mall with lots of foot traffic and a strong security program. Something struck me while I was on-site – it was how the Security Guards acted as venue concierges. Security Guards are often the most interacted-with people in that building. Not HR and usually not management. Someone loses their kid… they find a security guard. Someone's phone gets stolen... security guard. Spill on the ground - Security Guard. Incessant car alarm in parking lot - Security Guard Need directions to a store on the other side of the mall… yep, you guessed it. Security guard. That interaction IS the brand experience. It shapes whether people feel safe enough to come back. They need to know where everything is — every camera, every life safety system, every piece of critical infrastructure — and they need to be able to find it fast. Security is the connective tissue of the whole operation. Kudos to all who do this role.

This group was full of energy and engagement - I appreciated their openness, and a genuine commitment to growing together. From the moment I met the senior leaders at LifeLabs, it was clear how much they genuinely prioritize their people. Investing in tools like the The Six Types of Working Genius isn’t just professional development; it’s a strategic move toward healthier collaboration, clearer workflows, and more meaningful work. The Six Types of Working Genius gives teams a progressive way to think about project or process flow, meeting types and how to best collaborate with their team. When people understand the type of work that energizes them and the type that naturally drains them, teams can align responsibilities with where people have the most sustainable engagement and focus. That’s what reduces friction, improves collaboration, and helps diverse approaches complement each other instead of collide.

To ensure privacy standards remain effective and aligned with today’s realities, the Digital Governance Standards Institute (DGSI) is launching a 90-day maintenance review of CAN/DGSI 109-2:2024 – Privacy Part 2: Canadian Information Privacy Protection Framework. The standard recognizes the growing complexity of the data landscape and the increasing demands on organizations to demonstrate responsible data stewardship. Whether managing sensitive customer data, employee information, or health records, organizations must navigate a patchwork of federal, provincial, and international rules. CAN/DGSI 109-2 helps simplify this challenge by offering a clear, scalable framework grounded in accountability and best practices. The maintenance review is open until August 12 2025. DGSI invites privacy professionals, industry leaders, legal experts, policymakers, and members of the public to review the standard and provide feedback. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e3EhQ4S4 #DGSI #DataGovernance #ResponsibleData #Privacy #Digital

#CAGE codes can significantly impact the cost of CMMC certification, especially for organizations with a complex structure or multiple business units. The primary driver of this impact is that the #DoD views each CAGE code as a distinct entity that must independently meet #CMMC requirements unless a strategic approach is taken. RSI Assurance RSI Security Why Multiple CAGE Codes Drive Up Costs Individual Assessment Requirements: CMMC compliance is assessed and enforced at the individual CAGE code level. For companies with multiple CAGE codes, this means each code represents a discrete entity that may require its own System Security Plan (#SSP) and CMMC assessment. Without a unified strategy, this can lead to redundant efforts and multiplied costs. Multiplied Documentation and Burden: Each CAGE code that handles #CUI typically needs its own SSP, a detailed document that outlines how the organization meets all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls. Creating an SSP is a time-consuming and expensive process, and having to do it for multiple CAGE codes increases the cost exponentially. Varied Scope and CUI Flow: Different CAGE code entities may handle different types of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), leading to distinct security requirements and different CMMC levels. Mapping the flow of CUI across multiple entities is a complex process that can increase both internal labor costs and the cost of third-party consulting. Strategies to Minimize Costs Companies with multiple CAGE codes can employ several strategies to reduce their compliance costs. The key is to demonstrate to the #C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization) that multiple CAGE codes operate under a single, unified security program. Consolidation under a Single SSP: If a parent company and its subsidiaries (with different CAGE codes) have a high degree of vertical IT integration and use a single, unified security program with shared policies and procedures, they may be able to be assessed under a single SSP. This consolidation significantly reduces the assessment cost and documentation burden. Control Inheritance: Organizations can inherit controls from a parent company's or corporate-level security program. For example, a subsidiary might inherit corporate-wide policies for physical security, background checks, and IT governance, reducing the number of controls it needs to implement and document on its own. Cost-Benefit Analysis: A company should evaluate the DoD contract revenue associated with each CAGE code. For entities that only have a small amount of DoD business, the cost of full CMMC compliance may outweigh the benefits. The number of CAGE codes an organization has directly impacts the cost of CMMC certification by multiplying the compliance obligations. However, a strategic approach that leverages consolidation, control inheritance, and a clear understanding of the CUI environment can significantly mitigate these costs.

The Canadian Association of Security Professionals (CASP) Roy Jensen is hosting an online conference on March 12th. #SAVETHEDATE The #conference has a keynote and speakers talking about the present and future of the Canadian #security industry: challenges, best practices, future directions. 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: 12 March 2026 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲: 1200 – 1800 EDT 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁: $20.00 (50 $ off with code CASP50) 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀: https://lnkd.in/g4U5M34c Register using "CIWHV admission", and proceeds from these sales will go to the Canadian Institute of Workplace Harassment and Violence to help injured workers seek legal guidance and treatment. 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗣. Security guards are increasingly taking on roles formerly held by police: patrolling high-risk areas, walking beats, issuing bylaw and transit tickets, responding to alarms, etc. Police receive 10 to 12 months of training and regularly recertify their training. Security guards receive one week of training and are not required to recertify ever again! Simply, security guards are not prepared for the challenging, dangerous, and litigious environments they are expected to engage in. On-duty injuries and deaths are increasing. More security guards are being charged with criminal offenses -- they are not getting the necessary training! Over the past year, CASP has published articles detailing issues in the industry, recommended solutions, and worked with subject matter experts (including #traumainformed training, prevention of workplace psychological hazards, and improved #psychologicalsafety) to develop courses. CASP strives to professionalize the security association through #training and #advocacy. Details at www.CASP.ca

AdmiralBridge

In 2026, the security of your digital loss prevention platforms is a primary consideration when evaluating new vendors. Organizations rely on these systems to manage sensitive data, support daily operations, and meet regulatory obligations, so confidence in the underlying technology matters as much as the features it delivers. AdmiralBridge made a deliberate decision to build on Salesforce because of its long established reputation for enterprise grade security, reliability, and scalability. Salesforce invests heavily in infrastructure protection, data governance, and continuous compliance with widely recognized security standards. This foundation allows AdmiralBridge to focus on delivering functionality and operational value while relying on a platform that is proven in highly regulated and high availability environments. By building natively on Salesforce, AdmiralBridge aligns with security practices many organizations already trust and understand. This approach reduces risk, simplifies vendor assessments, and supports long term growth without requiring customers to adopt an unfamiliar or unproven technology stack.

What do you think is the most important skill a security professional can develop? It’s not physical strength. It’s not equipment. It’s the ability to deescalate conflict. In many workplaces — security, retail, healthcare, and other public-facing roles — tense situations can escalate quickly. The professionals who make the biggest impact are the ones who know how to stay calm, communicate effectively, and reduce tension before a situation worsens. Our Conflict De-Escalation Training focuses on practical strategies that help professionals manage difficult interactions safely and professionally. Participants learn how to: ✔ Recognize the stages and triggers of conflict ✔ Use communication techniques to calm tense situations ✔ Maintain professionalism under pressure ✔ Assess personal safety and respond appropriately These skills don’t just resolve incidents — they help create safer workplaces for everyone.

Your “powered-off” phone may still be findable - here’s how: Google notes that on newer devices (like Pixel 8), a phone can still be located for several hours after it’s turned off or the battery “dies.” This isn’t magic or marketing. It’s engineering. What’s actually happening: • “Off” doesn’t mean electrically dead. Modern phones shut down the main processor, but low-power hardware remains active. • A protected battery reserve exists. A small, hardware-reserved energy budget powers security functions even when the OS is unavailable. • Bluetooth Low Energy does the work. No GPS, no cellular. The phone emits an encrypted BLE beacon that nearby devices anonymously relay. • This logic lives in hardware, not Android. It’s isolated from apps, malware, and even OS failure. • It lasts hours, not forever. Once the reserve is exhausted, everything truly goes dark. Why this matters: For users: This dramatically improves lost-device recovery and theft resistance. For engineers & security folks: “Powered off” is no longer equivalent to “RF silent.” That assumption needs updating. Bottom line: This is an embedded system inside your phone that outlives the phone itself. No physics broken. Just very efficient power management and a massive crowd-sourced relay network.

Great to share the stage today with Sharon Bauer from Bamboo Consulting at the Retail Council of Canada Secure Summit. Our discussion with retailers, government representatives, and law enforcement surfaced some valuable insights around Bill 25 in Quebec, the privacy commissioner and what it means for retailers deploying AI in Canada. The conversation focused on how organizations can responsibly apply AI while strengthening safety, security, asset protection, and operational insight across their operations. DM me if you like a copy the learnings and process that were discussed on today’s session. Tomorrow the RCC Secure Summit opens to the exhibit floor. If you are a Canadian retailer, or interested in the future of retail in Canada, come by the International Centre and see how leading retailers are applying AI in practical ways to address real challenges across the industry and drop by our booth. #RCCRetailSecure #RetailCouncilOfCanada #CanadianRetail #RetailSecurity #AssetProtection #AIinRetail #RetailTechnology #LossPrevention #PrivacyCompliance

AI and cloud-native transformation in public safety isn’t theoretical anymore - it’s operational. Proud to see Karima Holmes, MPA chairing this panel at BAPCO Annual Event. She’s spent her career sitting where decisions actually get made - inside emergency communications centers - and understands that adoption isn’t just about new tech. It’s about: • Reducing cognitive load • Improving responder outcomes • Protecting uptime and reliability • Bringing teams along in the change The agencies getting this right aren’t just “deploying AI.” They’re sequencing transformation thoughtfully and scaling responsibly. If you’re attending BAPCO, this is one to prioritize.

Cloud video surveillance has entered a new era — and the shift is transforming how organizations across Canada manage their security. In just the last 2–3 years, cloud video has become far more affordable, while offering major improvements in performance, resilience, and investigative speed. What once required heavy on-prem hardware and constant maintenance now runs seamlessly in the cloud with better uptime and lower overall cost. At FMC, we’re supporting organizations as they modernize their video infrastructure through cloud and hybrid-cloud architectures that provide: 🔹 Centralized access for multi-site operations 🔹 Automatic redundancy with no single point of failure 🔹 AI-driven search tools that reduce investigation time 🔹 Predictable monthly costs and no more server refresh cycles 🔹 Faster deployments with minimal IT involvement 🔹 Flexible retention options to match operational needs In our latest blog, we break down the technology shifts that made cloud video more affordable — and why many organizations are accelerating their move away from traditional NVR-based systems. 👉 Read the full blog: https://lnkd.in/givFr2KX
