SilverShield exhibits cloud-based SAAS solution for visitor and information management at GSX 2019

At GSX 2019, SilverShield™ Safety & Information Systems will showcase their award-winning visitor and information management system (Booth #1594). The solution is an easy-to-use, cloud-based SAAS approach to security, with several different modules that provide a complete safety solution. “The SilverShield Visitor and Information Management System is the most effective way for users to vet and manage visitors for any size facility,” said Robin Baker, CTO, SilverShield. “We look forward to demonstrating the powerful software to GSX attendees this year.” The SilverShield Visitor Management System enables staffed or unstaffed visitor screening at all types of facilities – schools, medical facilities, or any type of business that screens visitors and maintains visitor records. This cloud-based (SAAS) multi-platform solution allows users to quickly screen a visitor’s credentials against custom watchlists and the national sex offender database, in near-real-time, to decide if the visitor should be welcomed or denied entry. If welcomed, your staff is notified of visitor and VIP arrivals. Register manually or by scanning a valid ID The Virtual Lockdown System alerts users to take immediate action to initiate their lockdown procedures If there is a threat identified at any entrance, the system allows the user to immediately send silent alerts to designated stakeholders via a two-way communication mode. When integrated with the SilverShield ID Badge System, the system can create temporary ID or permanent ID badges for staff, students, and vendors. For organisations with unstaffed entrances, the SilverShield Kiosk System allows visitors to register themselves – manually or by scanning a valid ID. The interactive Kiosk System will also notify staff of VIPs or unwelcome guests, increasing security and safety even in unmanned entry points. In the event of an emergency situation or unwanted guest, the system’s Incident Management module can alert local police, initiate a virtual lockdown, and produce mass emergency notifications via email, SMS/text, mobile and web push notifications. The Virtual Lockdown System alerts designated stakeholders via an audible siren sent to all users’ computers or mobile devices, to alert users to take immediate action to initiate their lockdown procedures. Event Management System The solution pre-screens guests, ensuring that unwanted guests are not invited to events or facility activities SilverShield’s HR & Safety Resource Center enables companies and schools alike to store their Security Plans in a secure Learning Management System (LMS) and share it along with supporting materials with staff and stakeholders. The system also encourages assessments to ensure comprehension of security protocols, procedures and plans. The solution’s Event Management System pre-screens guests against watchlists and the national sex offender database, ensuring that unwanted guests are not inadvertently invited to events or facility activities. The system will manage invitations and RSVPs and can issue parking and visitor passes to approved guests via email and SMS/text, helping to safeguard a safe and secure event.

SilverShield Systems to exhibit their HR & Safety Resource Center at ISC West 2019

SilverShield Safety & Information Systems, providers of the industry’s most advanced cloud-based multi-platform solution, are introducing ISC West attendees to their HR & Safety Resource Center this week. Helping to facilitate an important step in the process of securing organisations, the Center delivers what is most needed to develop and document security assessments and plans. “Many organisations are recognising the need to make their facilities and campuses more secure against threats and risk,” said Joe Cicini, Lead Security Consultant (former FBI), SilverShield. For many, it can be challenging to know where to begin in auditing and analysing their vulnerabilities. Minimise security vulnerabilities The SilverShield HR and Safety Resource Center can make the connection with a security consultant to provide guidance in determining the best solution for each individual situation. Consultants begin by conducting a security assessment to identify and minimise security vulnerabilities. That information enables them to develop an individualised security plan to keep personnel, property and assets safe and secure. For those organisations that have already completed a security assessment and have a security plan in place, the SilverShield HR & Safety Resource Center will help ensure that staff is properly trained in executing that plan. This includes enabling clients to include comprehensive lessons and quizzes to ensure that staff has full mastery of the plan and their responsibilities. “Whether you have already worked with a consultant, you are working with one now, or you’re in need of one, the SilverShield HR & Safety Resource Center can deliver what you need to develop and document your security assessments and plans,” said Joe.
