A Security Firm Who Cares

Sapphire Risk Advisory Group is a cannabis security expert company has helped hundreds of cannabis enterprises protect their investment by assisting with applications & licensing, secure facility build-outs and standard operating procedures (SOP). We’re one of the oldest security consulting firms in the cannabis industry, drawing on decades of experience securing high-risk applications.

Since 2013, Sapphire Risk has written the security section for over 300 state applications in 24 states, with an average of 94% on our application scores. We have assisted with over 60 facility build-outs for cultivations, processing, extraction, testing, dispensaries and transportation. Our team is constantly collaborating which helps our client’s minds remain at ease from application to operation.

Secure Facility Build Out

The buildout process is crucial to the functionality of your facility. Sapphire Risk has compiled a team of professional project managers to provide the best solutions for your facility. They will work alongside your general contractor, architect, yourself or whomever may be involved in your buildout process.

When evaluating your security floor plan at an operational perspective, we like to “begin with the end in mind” in order to truly comprehend how you will operate from day-to-day. Understanding how you will open, close, receive deliveries and shipments, store any cannabis and/or cash, and overall operate is extremely essential when building out your facility. Our project managers will ask thorough, qualifying questions in order to fully understand how the client expects the facility to operate.

Standard Operating Procedures

Policies and procedures have a big impact in the flow of your business. Policies dictate what needs to be done while procedures show the process. Together they create not only a safe environment but foster a culture of honesty & accountability. Operational SOPs include employee management, cannabis transport, cash deposits, avoiding non-compliance fees, and any other day-today operational procedures. Security audit SOPs allow an opportunity to pinpoint any potential blind spots and ensure all security components meet or exceed requirements.

Risk Assessments

On-site security risk assessments are beneficial regardless if you are in the early stages of building your location or already have an established business. A trained security expert reviews your current and potential security and safety risk exposures and gives you the tools to address them, such as security equipment or implementation of policies and procedures. When speaking with clients, we do our best to understand what keeps them up at night. By addressing those discomforts, we can identify and approach them in order to put your mind at ease at the end of the day.

Having a thorough, accurate SOP manual has direct benefits like easier training sessions. But there are indirect benefits too, such as appearing more organized as a business and reducing the likelihood of onsite injuries or damaged equipment.

All seriousness aside, we are a fun, hardworking and dedicated group to work with. Let us help you with your next project!
