Technology has become the backbone of modern security, but having advanced tools doesn’t mean you’re fully protected. Cameras may be installed, doors may lock, and systems might be “online,” yet real vulnerabilities often remain hidden. The problem? Many organizations don’t know their security technology isn’t working… until it’s too late.
That’s where a comprehensive technology assessment comes in.
Whether you're responsible for a high-rise office, a campus, a manufacturing facility, or a public space, tech assessments provide a clear view into how well your current systems are performing and where the gaps are.
You Can’t Fix What You Don’t See
Security systems are not “set it and forget it.” They evolve with the threats they’re meant to prevent.
Over time, systems fall out of sync:
- Access control permissions get outdated
- Video footage gets archived too soon—or not recorded at all
- AI-powered tools operate in silos rather than as part of a larger ecosystem
- Hardware failures go unnoticed
- And integration? Often incomplete or nonexistent
A technology assessment uncovers these weak points and gives you a roadmap to fix them, before they become liabilities.
AI in Security: Smarter Isn’t Always Safer
AI is revolutionizing surveillance, but without human oversight and system checks, it can lead to a false sense of security.
An assessment evaluates:
- Are AI alerts configured correctly—or are they being ignored?
- Is facial recognition or license plate capture functioning consistently?
- Are your AI tools communicating with other systems like access control or intrusion detection?
The promise of AI is efficiency, but it needs to be monitored, fine-tuned, and integrated properly to deliver real value.
Access Control: Convenience vs. Control
Access control is your first physical barrier—but it’s also one of the most commonly overlooked areas in a tech stack.
Assessments reveal:
- Are users still active who shouldn’t be?
- Are certain doors being propped open or bypassed?
- Is your system tracking movement and access attempts across the property?
Often, we find access systems are working independently from video surveillance or alarm monitoring, which creates blind spots and slows down incident response.
Video Surveillance: The Illusion of Coverage
Cameras everywhere doesn't always mean you're covered.
Through a tech assessment, we analyze:
- Are cameras positioned for visibility or just for show?
- Is video footage stored securely and accessible when needed?
- Are alerts actually reaching your team in real time?
Many sites have cameras that look active but aren’t recording, or whose feeds aren’t monitored. Unmonitored systems don’t prevent incidents, they just record them.
What a Tech Assessment Actually Delivers
At United Security, a technology assessment doesn’t just provide a checklist—it delivers insight. Our process evaluates all major system components, their integration, configuration, uptime, data handling, and user controls. It’s designed to identify hidden vulnerabilities, compliance risks, and performance breakdowns.
But more importantly, it empowers your team to take action. We help you:
- Prioritize upgrades
- Improve system communication
- Strengthen situational awareness
- Maximize your return on security investments
Don’t Just Assume Your Systems Are Working. Know It.
When was the last time someone took a fresh look at your security tech with experienced eyes?
Security failures often aren’t about having the wrong tools—they’re about having disconnected, mismanaged, or underused tools. A technology assessment connects the dots and shows you where to tighten the chain before it breaks.
Start With a Conversation
You don’t need to rip and replace your entire system.
You just need to understand what’s working, what’s not, and what can be done about it.
