Cannabis Industry Security Consulting & Compliance
Strategic Security Design for Cultivation, Processing, and Retail Operations.
In the cannabis industry, security is not just about protection—it is a requirement for licensure. Navigating the patchwork of state and local regulations requires a consultant who understands the intersection of high-risk asset protection and strict regulatory compliance.
At CG Security Consulting, we provide the Independent Security Design expertise necessary to move your project from the application phase to operational success.
Navigating Complex Regulatory Requirements
Every jurisdiction has unique mandates for camera resolution, frame rates, and video retention periods. We design systems that meet or exceed these standards, ensuring you pass inspections the first time.
Licensing Support: Providing the security section of your license application, including detailed site plans and operational procedures.
Compliance Audits: Evaluating existing facilities to identify gaps in state-mandated surveillance or access control protocols.
Cultivation & Processing Facility Security
Large-scale cultivation centers present unique challenges, from high-humidity environments to expansive perimeters.
Intrusion Detection: Integrating LiDAR and thermal sensors to protect outdoor grow operations or greenhouse perimeters.
Biometric Access Control: Restricting access to sensitive areas like mother rooms, drying rooms, and vaults to authorized personnel only.
Environmental Integration: Ensuring security hardware can withstand the specific HVAC and lighting conditions of a commercial grow.
Dispensary & Retail Security Design
A dispensary must be welcoming to customers while remaining a "hard target" for theft. We utilize CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) to create a safe, professional environment.
Point-of-Sale (POS) Integration: Overlaying transaction data onto surveillance footage to prevent internal shrinkage and fraud.
Panic & Duress Systems: Discreetly placed silent alarms for staff safety in high-traffic retail environments.
Vault & Storage Security: Designing reinforced storage solutions that comply with strict "after-hours" storage regulations.
Seed-to-Sale Surveillance & Data Retention
One of the biggest hurdles in cannabis security is the massive amount of data generated by 24/7 high-definition recording. Most regulations require 30, 60, or even 90 days of continuous video storage.
We provide the Security Networking Infrastructure design required to handle these high-bandwidth demands, ensuring your storage arrays are redundant and your video evidence is never lost.
Ensure your facility is compliant and secure.
