Cannabis Security

Security for Cannabis Operations

Cannabis cultivation, processing and sales operate within Canadian electronic security requirements. GPS Security provides cannabis security systems for these environments, with security planning that can begin while a site is still under development.

Electronic Security

Plan Security Around Cannabis Requirements

The cannabis industry is highly governed, making electronic security an important part of planning cultivation, processing and sales operations. GPS Security is familiar with Canadian electronic security regulations and compliance requirements related to the cannabis industry.

GPS Security recommends planning this portion of the project early, particularly while other trades and contractors are also being scheduled.

  • Compliance Awareness — GPS Security is familiar with Canadian cannabis electronic security requirements.
  • Early Planning — Electronic security should be considered early in the development of the operation.
  • Regulated Operations — The service applies to cannabis cultivation, processing and sale.
