San Jose Evergreen Community College District

Overview

The San Jose Evergreen Community College District (SJECCD) performed a security program review and needed to determine if its existing security technology systems were appropriate for future scalability to support operational intent. It also needed to identify if the existing head-end equipment was sustainable for additional systems growth.

Guidepost Solutions

Guidepost was engaged by the SJECCD Chief of Police to act as an independent third-party assessor of its existing security technology systems across its entire district encompassing three separate campus. Using a cloud-based data collection application, the Guidepost team efficiently collected unique individual device/door location data including photographs that provided the district with a single point of reference for all in scope physical security devices such as video surveillance, access control and intrusion detection systems used throughout the district facilities. Guidepost also created a detailed roadmap and go-forward plan for physical security upgrades with security standards that supported the future implementation of a unified systems platform for the district police to manage and support their operational needs. Guidepost continues to provide design and construction administration services for technology system upgrades, as well as support the district security program development and growth.
