Minuteman has long track record of delivering integrated security systems that transform risk into reliability. These systems customarily include access control, video surveillance, and so on.

However, our total service offering for data centers goes beyond simply installing cameras and card readers.

Minuteman has several specialized teams that help you maintain security standards across your facilities, help operate and maintain the security systems themselves, and provide cybersecurity and application engineering.

Scale and Capabilities

Minuteman’s 500+ employees operate out of 28 office locations from Florida to Maine, making us one of the ten largest US security integrators.

We have extensive experience working in NERC CIP compliant facilities, which is particularly important if your data center has its own electrical substation.

Minuteman is SOC 2 Type 1 compliant, and UL-listed for Intrusion Detection.

Program Management Team

If your company has multiple data centers in the US and overseas, you know the benefits of security system standardization.

Minuteman’s Program Management Office (PMO) is a team of professionally-certified specialists with experience in project management, security, and related trades.

The PMO brings consistency to your security program. It aligns each facility with your corporate policies and processes, and prevents mismatching of technologies and equipment.

A named Program Manager acts as your single point of contact for everything security-related, coordinating smooth installations and upgrades by always accounting for regional and regulatory complexity.

Managed Services Team

Minuteman’s 24x7x365 Hosted Managed Services (HMS) team takes the security systems management burden off of your shoulders, by outsourcing everyday security system tasks.

Our agents are experienced and certified security system specialists who take proactive ownership of your system’s uptime, system configuration, monitoring, and direct user support.

Technical Services Team

Minuteman’s Technical Services Group (TSG) is a small team of industry specialists with a rare combination of three skills: deep familiarity with security system software, cybersecurity, and coding expertise.

They perform cybersecurity audits, data services, application engineering, and user training.

NERC CIP Compliance

If your data center has its own electrical substation, your security system must be installed and serviced according to NERC CIP-014 regulations.

Over the last twenty years, we have secured more than 2,000 NERC CIP-regulated sites, and that experience is now institutionalized at Minuteman.

Risk assessment & validation defines the scope of work. We conduct a Threat & Vulnerability Assessment (TVA) to sharpen the focus. Our internal training and development programs are tailored to meet NERC CIP requirements.

Minuteman’s internal safety program is robust and can be extended to your specific needs. Local law enforcement coordination is part of every security program.
