About the Bp.IP Initiative

Our Mission

The mission of the Bp.IP Initiative is to help you achieve IP-based physical security technology deployments that are:

• Secure
• Technically Sound
• Cost-Optimized

Secure systems are at low risk of compromise and can be maintained at a low risk profile.

Technically Sound systems are not prone to failure due to technical weaknesses. This applies to all electronic security technology, from legacy to leading edge systems.

Cost-Optimized systems are well-documented as well as well-designed, so that the costs to design, install, commission, operationalize, maintain and evolved the systems provide an outstanding Total Cost of Ownership picture.

You only "get what you pay for" if you follow best practices for deploying IP-based systems. Otherwise you spend more and get less.

The Bp.IP initiative is an ongoing effort that continually assesses the state of the physical security industry and provides best practice guidance based upon the current state and trends of technology and what constitutes sound deployment practice.
