National Business Crime Solution (NBCS), a not for profit initiative for sharing data between police and businesses to combat crime, reports a successful first year for its Associate Membership scheme. NBCS recently welcomed Milestone Systems, Axis Communications, GMS Group, SmartWater and SWL Security as Associate Members; joining Mitie, CSL Group, Hikvision and Athelney Group.
The Associate Membership scheme bridges the gap between technology providers and end users, giving vendors access to senior decision makers at some of the nation’s most prestigious organisations. Through a range of initiatives, such as one-day seminars, they can show their risk management, security, fraud and loss prevention product and services. NBCS has also introduced a monthly series of Crime Call events, where NBCS members and associates take part in a conference call to discuss specific issues and examine how technology can help address them.
NBCS adds that it actively seeks to open new avenues for associates across vertical sectors and government bodies by encouraging participation across its initiatives such as Operation Bird and the Community Guarding scheme. It also helps position NBCS as a critical friend of business, the police and business reduction partnerships, through furthering the use of technology by all those affected by business crime.
NBCS Associate Membership is available in a number of packages and costs between £4,000 and £15,000 a year. The basic package features advertising and promotion to existing members, while the premium package includes consultancy from senior NBCS personnel, who are able to advise on subjects such as fraud risk, risk management, enterprise risk management and security deployment.
Daniel Hardy, pictured, managing director at NBCS, said: ‘Having Milestone Systems, Axis Communications, GMS Group, SmartWater and SWL Security join us is the icing on the cake of what’s been a very busy but exciting year for the Associate Membership scheme. Having so many prestigious security solutions providers on board has proven mutually beneficial both for them and NBCS Members, and allowed us to encourage these two interdependent groups to engage in constructive dialogue. We are currently talking to a number of other companies and will soon be in a position to announce their Associate Membership status.’
