Smart-building controls are very common in today’s buildings, and cybersecurity in smart buildings is a crucial concern. Large amounts of data flow in and out of organizations, but the cybersecurity of building control systems using this data are often neglected. Many modern buildings have complex mechanical and building control systems (such as HVAC, security, fire protection, access control, lighting, data, and VoIP). Managing and maintaining these systems while trying to provide comfort and safety and facilitate productivity for building occupants is challenging. Our Smart Buildings System Integration efficiently integrates these systems and a lot more.

GSA’s services for smart buildings include assessing the cyber risks of a facility, recommending safeguards and countermeasures, and implementing software and procedures. These services ensure federal facilities are protected while efforts are made for improving occupant productivity, lowering energy costs, improving positive environmental impact, decreasing operational and maintenance costs, and increasing building values. We make sure that operations are consistent with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) guidelines and other applicable policies.
