Convergint Delivers UL2050 Certified Aerospace Defense Security Solutions

Although I’ve been in the security industry for close to 35 years, the last 20 of those I’ve been lucky enough to work directly with USGOV agencies and NIS contractors securing our nation’s secrets.  During those years I’ve been blessed to run the largest UL 2050 program in the nation; serve as AFSO of a Fortune 500 company; and teach UL classes with the author of 2050, Pete Tallman. I’ve helped lots of companies, from large defense contractors looking to standardize their installations nation-wide to the small business getting their first contract that hasn’t even heard of 2050.

Through all this experience, I have witnessed the unique challenges and complexities involved in providing top-tier security solutions to this industry.  This has allowed me to not only become well-versed in the specific requirements but to anticipate issues and address our customer’s distinct security needs while doing what I really love – helping them make good decisions for their program, their company, and their customers.

Our Convergint Aerospace/Defense team is focused on being the best service provider for each of our customers in this space. We have a dedicated Program Office to support all of our UL2050 customers. Our dedicated team ensures that our IDS installations are consistent, that inspections are carried out on time and that we meet our 4-hour response requirements across all of our 30+ UL Certified offices. Compliance with UL2050 and the various Government Standards (ICD-705, 32 CFR part 117(NISPOM), JAFAN and AA&E) is critical to our customers and if their program doesn’t have an active UL2050 certificate, then they can’t work on their programs, potentially adding unnecessary cost, schedule slippage, or weaking our National Security posture. Our team moves beyond the basic understanding of Commercial Off the Self (COTS) security equipment and is extremely knowledgeable in how the US Government security requirements affect what we use and how it is applied.

We also provide:

• Program management (Enterprise or single location customers)
• Program/corporate standards development and support
• Subject Matter Expert (SME) access and support
• Design, Compliance and maintenance support for SCIFs / SAPs /Closed areas/GCMS
• UL liaison support
• Support with application / interpretation of standards, including those referenced by the Department of Defense (NISPOM), The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency and the Director of National Intelligence (ICD705).

The team strives to deliver exceptional security solutions that consistently exceed expectations by staying informed about industry advancements and employing innovative approaches. Leveraging 70+ years of collective experience in the Aerospace/Defense sectors, our team is well-equipped to tackle the challenges and provide the trusted partnership and proven solutions our customers need to accomplish their mission of National Defense. This aligns well with Convergint’s primary mission to be our customers’ best service provider.

The primary challenge in the Aerospace/Defense space lies in finding a trusted and valuable partner who comprehends the unique needs of the industry and can effectively execute the required solutions. Whether it’s understanding UL 2050 and its impact on the customers program, having a specialist on-site in 4 hours, or completing inspections on time, we understand the challenges our customers face, and our track record demonstrates our ability to deliver exceptional results.

Opportunities exist for the Aerospace/Defense industries to modernize and consolidate equipment and monitoring systems and use that scale to reduce their total security spend. Currently, many are using stand-alone, proprietary monitoring stations or are siloed with duplicated efforts and multiple solutions. By partnering with a trusted security provider like Convergint, companies can increase visibility to their security enterprise, gain consistency, create an efficient and unified security solution, and reduce their overall cost. With expertise in emerging technologies, our Aerospace/Defense team can help companies stay ahead of the curve in security innovation, leading to a safer and more secure environment for all.

We measure our success by word-of-mouth recommendations and clean accreditations, zero audit findings, and customer employee engagement. At Convergint, we prioritize building these strong relationships with our customers by delivering high-quality security solutions, excellent customer service, and comprehensive industry knowledge. The ongoing positive feedback from our customers serves as a reaffirmation that our efforts are on the mark.
