PSIM Risk Control

PSIM Risk Control

How does PSIM Software optimizes risk management?

PSIM Stands for Physical Security Information Management. As the PSIM software’s main goal is to maximize security, the software should be able to limit risks. But not all risks can be limited of course. Weather catastrophes, power outages, human error and so on, are all risk creators that will happen with or without a PSIM software platform. 


It is the goal of the PSIM software platform to limit these risks and control them when they happen, while also learning from past circumstances via reporting tools and data learning.

Utilize your fill risk control potential

These days, many organizations are investing quite a bit in new technologies and systems. They need to do this to both answer to the ever-raising security standards, as well as the protection of their people and assets.

However, many of them don’t utilize the full potential of the wide range of systems they have in place. If you have a state-of-the-art CCTV network installed, with high resolution cameras on every corner, and fire detectors in each room of a building, the cameras will not have an added value if the security responsible needs to search for the right camera in a list of 100 of them while a fire alarm is going off. Only to find out after the evacuation that there was no fire at all, but just an overheating cooking pan.

But what exactly is a PSIM software platform? Find out here.

How pre-defined PSIM workflows limit risks and threats

In crisis situations, workflows are of the utmost importance. Workflows can come in handy for all types of incidents. An organization can define in advance exactly how they want their safety, security and technical staff to respond to certain events and alarms. This way, the staff members have a clear guiding line of how to respond to each step in the process, while minimizing their stress level.

This way, the risk is under control, as the way to respond has been thought out beforehand. In our PSIM software platform Sky-Walker, workflows can be configured in advanced, and be updated and added while the software is running. Changes can always be made on the spot. The way of configuring workflows is very easy and intuitive, by using drag-and-drop features.

Prioritize alarms by using color

Our Sky-Walker PSIM software platform is perfectly capable of prioritizing incoming events and alarms from all the different connected systems. How so? In the configuration process, each type of event and alarm is given a certain priority. This is very important because this enables the organization to precisely determine how much priority should go to each type of alarm or event in certain situations. For each organization, the priorities are different, the possibility to choose how the PSIM software is configured for a particular project is a must. This enables their PSIM software operators to always focus on the most important tasks.

Example: a fire alarm

A fire alarm detected by a fire detector is visualized in our PSIM software platform Sky-Walker with an fire icon. The fire detector icon can take on different colors, each of them translating to a different type of event, and thus priority. In the list below, a quick overview of the possible priorities is given.

0: De-activated

1: Activated
2: Masked
3: Malfunctioning
4: Pre-alarm
5: Fire
As you can see, the colors make for an easy, quick and intuitive way of analyzing and assessing risks. Using the alarm buffer on the right, each alarm or event is stored in the buffer with the other events and alarms of the same priority. This way, an operator can work his or her way down to the alarms and events that have the least priority.

Furthermore, the navigation objects always have the same color as the alarm or event that has the highest priority. In case of high alarm, all navigation objects would in this case turn red, accompanied by a red flash, and even sound or a video, to catch the operator's attention.

But what if the PSIM software platform is not running?

The PSIM software is always built as a layer on top of the existing system infrastructure of an organization. This way, all the subsystems underneath the platform are capable of running on their own. You wouldn’t want a fire going undetected, just because a power outage shut down the PSIM software platform of course.
