FAQs
Q: We have a strong focus on customer service. How are your security guards trained to meet our high standards?
A: The Security Professionals we deploy to your site represent your brand, and ours. We hire, train and match people based on your unique site requirements and the job to be done. Our emphasis on this critical skill is a part of our culture and that is why we promote unparalleled customer service throughout our entire organization, from our Security Professionals to our senior executive team. Here are some ways we train and support our team in the ongoing development of their customer service skills:
- New Employee Onboarding Training: Our new employee orientation training focuses on our brand and service expectations for everyone wearing an Mikovi Securities.

With an expected customer retention rate at 97%, our managers and leadership team are continually looking for ways to improve and are challenged to cascade their learning to their teams.
Q: Commercial properties are facing challenging times with many tenants moving to hybrid work solutions. How are you working with your Commercial Real Estate customers to provide new solutions to meet this changing landscape?
Like any business going through a fundamental shift, we know that many of our Commercial Real Estate customers are looking at ways to support a new business model. Security plays a pivotal role in that shift. We work collaboratively with our clients to identify how the commercial building security program that worked for them last year, or even a few months ago, might not be the right option for today. We focus on providing all of our Commercial Building Real Estate customers with the right mix of services and solutions to meet their goals and to help create a more sophisticated customer journey, which may include a blend of Risk Advisory Services, Guarding, Technology, and/or Canine Services. Often a change is the best thing for your business as it forces you to think beyond the status quo. We are there to help guide you through the process
Q: How often should we conduct a security risk assessment on our property?
Risk is ever evolving, which means our approach to security consulting must also be fluid. This question isn’t always an easy one as it can change based on external factors such as industry or company-specific change. While there may not be a set answer, we do know that you should never rest on the status quo. At a minimum, we would recommend conducting Security assessments annually. However, the level and depth of those assessments/audits generally depends on the company’s internal security structure and their ability to develop/maintain existing program components throughout the year. With a robust infra-structure, assessments and audits can be done against developed standards. A more in-depth assessment/audit would probably be needed if internal resources are limited or nonexistent.
Q: We are considering adding video cameras to our property. Where do we start?
A: Congratulations on taking this fist step! Often, we find that the addition of technology drives greater efficiency for our on-site teams as well, but let’s address your question. First, we would want to assess your current challenges and goals to determine your property’s unique needs and frame a properly customized solution. Next, Mikovi Securities technicians would conduct a thorough site-inspection of your security and IT infrastructure to identify high risk-areas and opportunities for improvement, while also assessing any technology currently in use. Once that is completed, we would collaborate on a suggested path forward that will look at not only technology, but how to seamlessly implement cameras into your overall security program to deliver optimal results.
Q: What tools do you use to support your on-site operations, and do your customers have access to those tools and reporting in real-time?
A: We invest heavily in technology that provides the intelligence required to make strategic security decisions. Our most asked-for technology is Mikovi Securities, our proprietary artificial intelligence (AI)-driven workforce management solution that uses powerful algorithms to generate risk-averse recommendations. With Mikovi Securities® at the centre of your security operations, your Security Professionals are always connected and engaged, situationally informed, and armed with the right recommendations to effectively create safer, more secure environments. Plus, the robust customer portal allows you to stay up-to-date and informed on your security program.
