Sörmlands Sparbank offers long-term support for the regions citizens and businesses. Security for the customer, concern and a comprehensive approach is at the heart of the bank’s work. This calls for responsible management and genuine security.
Security and IT are the most important systems for a banking operation. Investments here are significant and to run them takes a lot of personnel – often around the clock. Lars Fogelberg is head of security at Sörmlands Sparbank. He has been developing a structure for the bank’s security system since the mid-1990s. The basic alarm functions in banking operations cover burglary alarm, assault alarm, access control, TV surveillance and fire alarm systems. Theses systems must also be upgradeable to handle additional functions in the future. In order to meet these requirements software is needed that is modular in structure, which can be developed as the needs change, and there must be a stable central computer with extremely high accessibility to back the systems.
All alarm functions shall be integrated and information must be presented to the operator in easy-to-use and clear interface. There must also be functions for authorisation levels and history. The system must be programmable so that it is possible to track what has been done by whom and which events have occurred. If an alarm is triggered, sound and image must be ready to be played back when the police arrive at the bank.
Nordic Alarm was chosen, and its integrated security system Nordic Integral meets all of Sörmlands Sparbank’s requirements. Seen over a longer period of time, the total cost of the investment, its operation and service also proved to be favourable.
