Silicon Valley – August 7, 2023 - Recently, TAL Global, a leading security consulting and risk management firm based in Silicon Valley, California, conducted a LinkedIn poll, asking respondents if they have an in-house security director or security team.
A security director/team ensures the safety of an organization's people, property, and data.
According to the poll results:
"Larger organizations invariably have in-house security directors and entire security teams," according to Oscar Villanueva, COO of TAL Global. "But this is often not the case for small to mid-sized organizations."
As to why this is, Villanueva says, "Having a security director or an entire security department is costly, too costly for most schools, churches, grocery stores, retailers, smaller airports, or office buildings."
Fortunately, these smaller organizations do have options to protect their people, facilities, and data. Many are now turning to what is called a Security Director as a Service or SDaaS.?
The "asS" concept dates to the 1960s when computers were large and very costly. To save money, organizations turned to aaS services to handle, for instance, a company's payroll.??
As it applies to SDaaS, the service is much more hands-on. Security professionals are brought in to develop and design programs to help minimize risk and improve safety.??
"Sometimes they are used for just a short time," adds Villanueva. "But it is becoming increasingly common for these SDaaS to become permanent, helping to ensure long-term safety and reduce risk."?
Based on the poll results, Villaneuva says, "it appears SDaaS could help a large number of organizations to reduce risk and improve safety. This is especially true today, with all the tensions and turmoil in the U.S."
