What is organic security?

Organic security is a private company legally authorized to build its own asset protection or armored value transport operation in order to reduce risks internally.

The actions are carried out by the company's own human resources with the aim of protecting the corporation's material assets, without ever needing to outsource the services. In this way, it saves money and time on processes such as updating contracts with other companies.

Under LAW No. 7,102, OF JUNE 20, 1983. rules are established ranging from the purchase of mandatory equipment such as cameras and alarms, to even having trained professionals to perform the role properly.

How does a company with organic security work?

By building its own security department, the company can only provide these services for its own benefit; it is not authorized to sell them to other institutions, and even though it operates internally, it must have authorization and periodic inspection from the Federal Police.

It is necessary to have an armored guardhouse, doormen, cameras, police officers, a differentiated work schedule, asset protection and, in some cases, the purchase of insurance. All types of protection are important to reduce the company's losses in the event of undesirable incidents.

Public Organic Security 

This is when the company has internal asset or institutional security, with watchmen, guards, and public servants who work exclusively for it and are not outsourced. As such, they know all of the company's procedures and follow the rules established by HR itself.

Private Organic Security 

This is when the corporation has its own corporate security and hires its own watchmen to protect security exclusively. They strictly follow Law 7,102.

Asset Protection

These are the professionals who protect the physical integrity of people, facilities, spaces and corporate assets, so that there is no vandalism, theft or incidents. They must take all measures and precautions in cases of risk.

Armored Value Transport

The watchmen hired may or may not carry firearms, be licensed, have equipment or even use technologies such as two-way radios for efficient and agile information exchange, whether by cell phone, tablet or computer.

Information Security

These are professionals who need to protect companies in the virtual world against intrusions and data leaks, and who must avoid risks that could cause damage to the company's database.

In this way, they contribute to encryption, cybersecurity and the confidentiality of information, which guarantees the integrity of sensitive data and allows access only to authorized people.

Crisis Management

Emergencies happen when you least expect them; having strategies and risk plans is essential in times of crisis. That is why good communication, skills such as decision-making and risk reduction contribute to this work.

Requirements to have organic security services

The first step is to obtain authorization from the Federal Police of Private Security, and for this you must consider the following requirements:

• Have a financial activity of asset protection and armored value transport;
• Hire your own professionals to work in organic security;
• Proof of the criminal records of everyone involved in the organic security service from the administrative side of the company;
• Have adequate physical facilities, proven by means of a security certificate, a communication system, an alarm system connected to a police unit, and a safe place to store weapons and equipment.

Difference between organic security and private security

As we have already seen, organic security needs to have its own resources; its security team must be part of the organization, there can be no outsourced workers, and it needs authorization and procedures.

The care is internal and interacts with HR, it works for its own benefit, with an implementation based on the organizational culture and the company's routine needs.

Private security, on the other hand, is the opposite: the protection services can be outsourced, so the schedules, organization and other obligations are the responsibility of the contracted company. They are separate from and independent of this team of watchmen, and can provide the availability of their professionals.

It operates by hiring external companies; for any problems or adjustments, it can hire another private security company and thus have new professionals at its disposal.

What both have in common is that they need authorization and must follow a series of requirements in order to keep operations running within the parameters of the law.
