Project Management
Existo’s security experts guide you through every required security measure your facility needs — from initial consultation to final installation.
Security is the first decision you make — and the one that protects everything else.
Cannabis operations are high-value targets. You hold significant cash, controlled products, and sensitive operational data under one roof — often 24 hours a day. Regulators know this, which is why security planning is a mandatory component of your license application in Michigan and most other states. But compliant security and genuinely effective security are two different standards, and the gap between them is where losses happen.
Existo’s security consultants bring over 30 years of combined experience from the Secret Service, corporate security infrastructure, and healthcare organizations. We don’t approach cannabis security like an IT company that installs cameras. We approach it like the serious risk management discipline it is.
Cannabis Security Planning
Every cannabis-related business is required to submit a security plan as part of the licensing process. A well-written security plan doesn’t just satisfy the regulator — it becomes the operational blueprint that keeps your facility, staff, and inventory safe for the life of your license.
Starting the security planning process before construction begins is the single most cost-effective approach available. Using your blueprints and overlays, we design a security architecture that integrates into the build — rather than being retrofitted around it later at significantly higher cost.
Key components addressed in every Existo security plan include:
- Technology: Surveillance cameras, access control systems, and intrusion detection (alarms) — sized and positioned to meet regulatory requirements and actual operational needs.
- Physical Security: Vaults, safes, ballistic-resistant materials, perimeter fencing, and restricted or limited-access area design.
- Security Protocols: Written policies and procedures covering every foreseeable scenario — from routine access management to emergency response.
- Background Checks: Employee screening procedures that satisfy state requirements and protect your operation from internal risk.
Integrated Security Systems
Existo engineers and installs facility security systems using best-in-class equipment and modern technology practice. Rather than managing three separate vendors for cameras, access control, and alarms, we package all three into one unified, easy-to-manage software suite.
Our service doesn’t end at installation. As a fully managed service provider dedicated to the cannabis industry, our helpdesk technicians remain available to support you with any questions or issues that arise after go-live. You’re not left to figure it out alone once the cameras are up.
