Responsibilities
  • Own day-to-day physical security operations, including cloud-managed video (cameras), access control (badge readers/door controllers), and alarm/environmental sensors, plus visitor management across all facilities.
  • Develop and maintain physical security policies, procedures, and post orders, aligned with NIST SP 800-171/CMMC physical protection requirements.
  • Lead investigation and response to physical security incidents, including unauthorized access attempts document findings, implement corrective actions, and escalate to appropriate parties.
  • Manage and oversee contracted or in-house security staff and guard force personnel, including scheduling, training, and performance management.

  • Own the security platform relationship (cameras, access control, sensors), including device provisioning, firmware/software updates, user permissions, and integrations, plus manage contracts with guard force providers and other security vendors.
  • Conduct periodic physical security risk assessments across facilities and recommend improvements (camera/sensor coverage, door hardware, lighting, fencing, restricted-area controls, etc.).
