SAGE Integration COVID-19 Response

SAGE COVID-19 Update July 27, 2020

As the country continues to open, employees return to the office, and students head back to school. SAGE continues to work with our clients as we face the "new normal."

We are monitoring the pandemic closely to prepare as different parts of the country are impacted. Employees are following the CDC guidelines, client safety guidelines, and SAGE's guidelines on mitigating the spread of COVID-19.

Additionally, SAGE has partnered with our technology partners to provide our clients with solutions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, manage security systems remotely, and provide the ability to contact trace individuals. For information, contact SAGE at http://bit.ly/SAGEContactUs.

SAGE COVID-19 April 7, 2020

If you are like us, you have received dozens of updates from your partners, vendors, and any business you’ve ever made an online purchase to about their COVID-19 response. While the environment in which we work and serve our customers continues to shift, much at SAGE Integration stays the same. Because our job is to maintain the highest levels of stability for the people, facilities, and reputations we protect, we have taken a measured approach, cautious about feeding the fires of crisis-thinking.

Rest assured that we are and have been following the necessary protocols for social distancing and sanitation at our home office locations and our embedded sites.

Staff positions that allow for remote work and/or are mandated to shelter-in-place by their local governments are doing so.

Roles have been apportioned into two parallel teams so that in the event of a strict quarantine due to a critical team member contracting COVID-19, all of our ongoing security support can continue.

We continue to practice the highest levels of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). We are in a regular review of our business continuity plan to ensure ongoing service within the many scenarios possible moving forward.

We Are In This Together.

While it was important to us to relay the basics of our COVID-19 response program, we want to prioritize a singular message: SAGE Integration thrives because our empowered teams build empathic relationships with our customers. As risks of all kinds rise in this tenuous environment, our partnership is more critical than ever. Our team members know to be in constant communication with their counterparts, and many of our dedicated teams are embedded directly in your organizations. The low ownership, low accountability method of security integration leaves companies particularly vulnerable during these times, which is why we are so committed to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with you. 

Protecting Facilities.

Your embedded team members are your first line of defense. Many of our customers tell us that the SAGE team knows their security apparatus better than they do. Please continue to lean on these on-the-ground experts. As buildings are increasingly vacant or near-vacant through the COVID-19 situation, it is all the more critical that our entry access systems and physical monitoring programs are working at their highest levels. 

Protecting People.

While social distancing is keeping many of your employees working from home, that is not possible for everyone. We continue to monitor and calibrate our systems for the highest level of threat alert, ensuring that your employees that are working on-site continue to have the highest level of safety possible.

Protecting Reputations.

When we speak with senior executives at our enterprise firms, the risk they feel most aware of is the threat to their reputation. A data breach, a forced entry, a disabled power station, all of these can produce long-term damage to businesses public face. As Americans sense for safety is as fragile as it’s ever been, we are taking our most proactive measures to help you show the public your commitment to safety and risk management.

We thank you for your ongoing business and your trust. We consider ourselves co-caretakers of your most valued assets and look forward to our partnership well into the future. Please be in contact with your direct service representative with all your questions and needs.

 Sincerely,
