Mitie Security launches Global Security Operations service accelerating intelligence and tech-led security

The service will deliver real-time intelligence gathered by Mitie’s Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC) through a dedicated app. The app is powered by Mitie’s own Merlin Protect 24/7 software, which continually analyses clients’ risks, automatically sharing real-time trend analysis.

By connecting innovative technology with security professionals and decision-makers, this service will enable an agile approach towards security. Customers will have access to enhanced intelligence and specific guidance, allowing them to adapt swiftly and rapidly deploy security teams on the ground to address issues or threats.

In addition, the new Global Security Operations service will also enable Mitie’s risk, assurance and resilience specialists to analyse ongoing trends, risks and threats for customers and enable them to implement robust and resilient security strategies.

The Global Security Operations service will support businesses in working more effectively with police forces to identify and combat regional or national issues. By using data analytics tools, Mitie is able to create a true picture of criminal activity across any geography, sector or business and identify repeat offenders when it comes to organised crime and develop case file management. Customers can opt-in to intelligence sharing networks in order to amplify these benefits for their businesses, police forces and, indeed, the wider community.

Intelligence-driven

The new service will be led by Barrie Millett, director of assurance at Mitie Security. Millett joined Mitie in April, having previously worked in senior security and resilience roles for several large organisations, among them E.ON and GE.

The Global Security Operations service has been launched alongside a new website to showcase the new service. Visit www.mitie-gso.com to learn more.

Jason Towse, managing director of business services at Mitie, informed Security Matters: “In the security industry, isolated data is not enough. Having access to the latest intelligence, coupled with guidance that’s quickly actioned on the ground, is essential for staying one step ahead of potential threats. Under Barrie’s leadership, Mitie’s Global Security Operations service seamlessly brings together these elements for the first time and will help customers share intelligence between themselves and the police like never before.”

Towse concluded: “The ever-increasing issue of business crime requires insight and adaptability and Mitie brings both. The launch of this new service further demonstrates Mitie’s innovation in creating industry-leading security solutions.”
