Corporate Security

Protecting your corporate headquarters from outside threats is crucial for business continuity and the safeguarding of people and sensitive assets. Insulgard offers tailored security solutions designed to meet the unique challenges faced by corporate buildings, from ballistic threats to forced entry attempts.

Insulgard’s bullet-resistant windows, doors, counterline systems, and other architectural security products are rigorously tested to meet the industry’s highest standards, including UL 752 for ballistic resistance and ASTM standards for forced entry protection.

Our unwavering commitment to quality and our attentive client service are why architects, glazing contractors, and other construction professionals across the U.S. turn to us when they need reliable ballistic protection for a corporate HQ. We can help from the earliest stages of the design process through fabrication and installation, making sure corporate security features are seamlessly integrated into the overall architectural vision and that all industry compliance standards are met.

Security Issues for a Corporate Headquarters

Corporate headquarters are often prime targets for various security threats due to their size, the value of the information and assets they house, and their public visibility. Common security issues include:

• Unauthorized access to secure areas
• Forced entry attempts
• Ballistic threats
• Vandalism and theft
• Natural disasters and severe weather impacts

These challenges necessitate proven security measures that can deter potential threats while maintaining the building’s functionality and aesthetic appeal. Our BULLETBLOCK and FORCEPROTECT product lines provide essential ballistic protection and forced entry resistance to ensure the integrity of key areas within your corporate facilities.

Evaluating Risk Factors in a Corporate HQ

Before implementing security solutions, it’s necessary to conduct a thorough risk assessment. This involves:

• Threat Analysis: Identifying specific threats such as burglary, armed intrusion, and forced entry.
• Vulnerability Assessment: Determining which parts of the building are most at risk, such as entry points, windows, and reception areas.
• Impact Assessment: Evaluating the potential consequences of a security breach, including financial loss, data theft, and safety hazards.

Identifying Areas of Vulnerability

Areas within corporate environments that are typically vulnerable include:

• Entry Points: Main entrances, service doors, and emergency exits are common targets for forced entry.
• Windows and Glazing: Windows are typically the weakest point in a building’s security, both in terms of armed attack as well as strong winds and flying debris from extreme weather.
• Reception and Transaction Areas: These areas may require bullet-resistant barriers to protect personnel during face-to-face interactions.

Threat Mitigation

The very presence of architectural security products is often enough to deter a would-be criminal from attempting to commit a crime at a corporation’s headquarters.

The visual impact of bullet-resistant windows, doors, and other building materials sends a clear message: This company takes security seriously and will take all necessary actions to stop nefarious actors.

Insulgard’s versatile products can be as subtle—or as conspicuous—as you want them to be, maximizing aesthetics or threat deterrence, depending on your needs.

The conspicuousness of security features can also foster trust in the public, including clients and investors, signaling a corporation’s professionalism and preparedness.

Bullet-Resistant Products Insulgard Offers

Insulgard security products can be customized to counter specific threats. Our doors, windows, and glazing solutions range from UL 752 Level 1, providing protection against 9mm handguns, to Level 8, capable of withstanding high-powered rifle attacks.

• Windows: Our bullet-resistant windows are constructed with framing systems designed and tested to defeat the same ballistic attack as the advanced glazing materials, offering protection of the entire opening while maintaining transparency and design aesthetics. Glazing options include glass-clad polycarbonate, acrylic, and laminated polycarbonate materials, available in various levels of bullet resistance.
• Doors: Constructed from materials like acrylic, polycarbonate, and steel, Insulgard’s bullet-resistant doors are built to withstand forced entry attempts and ballistic threats.
• Storefront Systems: Bullet-resistant aluminum framing and doors can be combined with bullet resistant and forced entry resistant glazing to create large storefront entrances that provide protection from ballistic and forced entry attack.
• Glazing materials: With a wide range of interior and exterior applications, our glazing products can provide bullet resistance to windows and doors in a corporate HQ’s entrances, security stations, conference rooms, safe rooms, and more.
• Counterline systems: These products include transaction windows, package passers, and pass-through trays that are not only bullet resistant but also facilitate the seamless exchange of money and goods. These are ideal for use in corporate mailrooms, reception desks and other high-value areas where transactions take place.
