# Security Services At FreedomDev, we understand the unique needs of the security industry and develop tailored software to enhance operational efficiency, compliance, and customer satisfaction. ## Security Services Software That Cuts Incident Response 42% FreedomDev builds SOC dashboards, visitor-management platforms, and encrypted mobile apps that integrate cameras, alarms, and ERPs for Michigan security firms. --- ## Our Process 1. **Threat Landscape Workshop** — We interview stakeholders for 4 hours, map network topology, and run a Nessus scan. A 12-page gap analysis is delivered within 5 business days, listing CVEs ranked by CVSS and compliance deviations from NIST 800-53. 2. **Zero-Trust Architecture Design** — Our CISSP architects model data flows in Visio and produce a Palo Alto firewall JSON that segments OT from IT. We simulate lateral movement with BloodHound to validate that no path exists to domain admin from camera VLAN. 3. **API Integration Sprint** — We scaffold OpenAPI specs for Lenel, Genetec, and Azure AD, then auto-generate C# SDKs. Unit tests mock each endpoint with WireMock, ensuring that a failed badge swipe still logs to Splunk within 200 ms. 4. **Immutable Evidence Pipeline** — Using Azure Blob with legal-hold and WORM, we stream video and access logs. A sidecar container hashes every file with BLAKE2b and writes the hash to Ethereum Rinkeby for tamper proofing, achieving 3rd-party verifiability. 5. **Pen-Test & Compliance Audit** — We hire external OSCP testers for a 5-day engagement. After remediation we schedule a SOC 2 Type II with a regional CPA firm. Customers receive an unqualified opinion and a HackerSafe badge for marketing. 6. **24/7 DevOps Handoff** — We migrate repositories to your Azure DevOps tenant, document runbooks in Confluence, and train your admins over Zoom. Our Slack channel stays open for 90 days, with a 15-minute response SLA day or night. --- ## Key Stats - **42%**: Average reduction in incident response time - **$4.38 M**: Michigan average breach cost avoided - **99.3%**: CJIS upload success rate - **8,000**: Concurrent alarm events routed - **16 weeks**: VB6 to React migration timeline - **99.97%**: Platform availability last year --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How fast can FreedomDev integrate Lenel with our existing Azure AD? We use the Lenel DataConduIT WSDL plus Microsoft Graph. A read-only sync of 20,000 cardholders typically takes 3 business days, including unit tests. Write-back of badge status to AD can be scheduled every 30 seconds without impacting domain-controller CPU above 5%. ### Do you support CJIS Policy 11 evidence retention? Yes. Our systems write WORM storage with SEC Rule 17a-4(f) hashing and enforce a 3-2-1 backup topology. Automated purge after 7 years plus legal-hold REST APIs satisfy both Michigan and federal discovery requests. ### What encryption do you use for cloud video storage? We adopt AES-256-GCM at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Customer-managed keys are stored in Azure Key Vault FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSMs. No FreedomDev employee holds decrypt rights; only your security officers can delegate key access. ### Can you migrate legacy VB6 alarm monitoring to modern web tech? Absolutely. We transpile business logic to TypeScript using automated tooling, then rebuild the UI in React. A recent project for a Grand Haven central station migrated 1.2 M lines of VB6 in 16 weeks with 99.8% feature parity and a 34% performance boost. ### How do you price recurring SOC dashboards? We charge a fixed platform fee of $4,200 per month that covers hosting, 99.9% SLA, and quarterly feature releases. Additional custom widgets above the included 25 are billed at 1,200 dev-hours per 5 widgets, capped at 120% of original estimate. ### Do you provide on-prem deployments for classified sites? Yes. Our Kubernetes manifests support air-gapped RKE clusters. Updates are delivered as signed OCI images via portable SSD. A Muskegon defense contractor passed a DCAA audit using this model with zero findings. ### Which camera brands work with your AI analytics? Axis, Hanwha, Bosch, Hikvision, and Avigilon via ONVIF or RTSP. For specialty thermal cameras we integrate FLIR Boson and DJI Zenmuse XT. Custom codecs like H.265+ are hardware-accelerated on NVIDIA T4 GPUs. ### How do you handle biometric data under Illinois BIPA? We store only encrypted biometric templates using ISO/IEC 19794-2 minutiae, never raw images. Consent timestamps and written release PDFs are stored in an immutable audit log. Automated retention purge occurs after the shorter of 3 years or termination of employment, ensuring BIPA compliance. ### Can your visitor system sync with Microsoft Bookings? Yes. Our middleware polls Microsoft Graph for meeting data and pre-registers visitors, then sends QR codes by email. Front-desk check-in averages 7 seconds at the iPad kiosk, and host notifications appear in Teams within 2 seconds. ### What happens if your SaaS goes down during an active incident? We run active-active pairs in Azure East and Azure Central with Cosmos DB multi-region writes. If both regions fail, a Docker Swarm snapshot on your premises activates within 90 seconds. Last year our observed availability was 99.97%, with a worst-case RPO of 4 minutes. --- ## Custom Security Software Built for Michigan’s Unique Threat Landscape Michigan security firms lose an average of $4.38 million per data breach (IBM 2023 Cost of a Breach Report). Off-the-shelf tools can’t correlate DMP panels, AI cameras, and legacy badge systems, so guards toggle five screens during an event. Since 2004 FreedomDev has replaced those Franken-stacks with unified .NET and Laravel platforms that drop mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) from 28 minutes to 4.7. Our first engagement was a Grand Rapids hospital that needed to merge 1,200 Wiegand readers with a new ActiveDirectory forest. We wrote a C# service that normalized card data into a HIPAA-compliant SQL ledger, cutting false-tailgating alerts 63%. The same engine now powers 42% of Michigan’s Level-1 trauma centers. We embed NIST 800-53 controls into every pull-request. Static code scans, dependency checks, and infrastructure-as-code pipelines run in Azure DevOps so SOC 2 Type II evidence is generated automatically. One Detroit-based integrator passed their audit 11 weeks faster than the Big-Four average and saved $87 K in consulting fees. FreedomDev is vendor-agnostic. We have REST wrappers for Lenel, Genetec, Milestone, Avigilon, HID, and Salient. If your customer standardized on a 2008 Verint DVR, we’ll build an FFmpeg bridge instead of forcing a rip-and-replace. Our rule: data must flow before capital expenditure. Real-time mapping is a core strength. We feed MQTT streams from drones, LiDAR turnstiles, and ShotSpotter sensors into a React/Mapbox console. Guards see color-coded perimeters refresh every 400 ms without page reloads. A Kalamazoo college lowered outdoor thefts 29% after deploying the map during homecoming weekend. Our mobile team compiles Flutter apps to both iOS and Android from one codebase. A Troy-based armored-car company uses the app to log 3,200 daily pickups. Drivers scan QR codes on vault doors; the app geo-stamps the coordinate and uploads via 256-bit AES to AWS GovCloud. Cash-handling discrepancies fell from 14 per month to 1. We surface KPIs that matter to security executives: uptime of card readers, queue depth in Kafka topics, and license-plate recognition hit-rate. A Muskegon marina saw their LPR accuracy jump from 78% to 96% after we retrained the TensorFlow model on 14,000 regional plates. FreedomDev supports 24/7/365 SLAs. When a water utility’s SCADA HMI crashed at 2:14 a.m. on Christmas, our on-call engineer had the VMware snapshot restored in 9 minutes. The plant stayed in compliance with EPA SDWA rules and avoided a $1.2 M fine. Our pricing is fixed-bid and milestone-driven. A typical SOC dashboard project runs 14 sprints and delivers 140 user stories for $198 K. Change requests are handled through a T&M bucket capped at 10% of contract value, so CFOs can forecast cash flow precisely. Finally, we hire locally. 84% of our engineers sit in our Grand Rapids headquarters, and every project is archived on a Michigan-based server for CJIS compliance. When you [contact us](/contact) you speak directly to a lead engineer, not a salesperson. --- ## Technologies - dotnet-core - laravel - react - flutter - azure - kafka - python - rust - ffmpeg - opencv --- **Canonical URL**: https://freedomdev.com/industries/security-services _Last updated: 2026-05-14_
