OMEGA
retail industry
Since the inception of Omega Risk Solutions in 2003 one of the strategic objectives was to become a leader in the Retail Industry. As part of our vision to engage with Blue Chip Companies Omega carefully selected potential clients and then focused on them to gain access to the industry.
Omega’s success in retail and mall security can be attributed to its ability to adapt its integrated security approach to specifically accommodate the unique challenges faced by the industry. We believe that there are a wide range of risk elements that security practitioners need to plan for to manage security in the Retail Industry, because retailers look to the private security industry to help to safeguard both their own and their customers’ interests.
