Auto dealerships are magnets for crime—high-value assets parked in the open, expansive lots, and complex operations make them vulnerable to theft, fraud, and reputational damage. One auto dealership (undisclosed for privacy) partnered with Spade Security to confront these risks head-on—and the results were game-changing.
The dealership was facing rising threats across multiple fronts:
Vehicle Theft & Vandalism – Poor lighting, blind spots in camera coverage, and manual surveillance left expensive vehicles unprotected.
Cybersecurity Weaknesses – Outdated systems and no employee training left customer data exposed to breaches.
Inventory Control – High-value parts and tools weren’t tracked, raising concerns about internal theft.
Customer & Employee Safety – The environment lacked emergency protocols and visibility, impacting both safety and sales.
Construction Site Security – Expanding facilities introduced new security risks during after-hours and weekends.
It was clear: a reactive approach wouldn’t cut it anymore.
Spade Security conducted a comprehensive, on-site security risk assessment. After identifying vulnerabilities, we delivered a multi-layered, technology-powered strategy, including:
AI-Powered Surveillance – Installed smart cameras with real-time analytics to detect unusual activity and trigger instant alerts.
Autonomous Security Devices – Deployed RAD’s ROSA & RIO robotic units for 24/7 patrols of parking lots and perimeters.
Cybersecurity Overhaul – Upgraded with next-gen firewalls, multi-factor authentication, and regular employee phishing simulations.
Inventory Access Control – Integrated RFID, video analytics, and electronic locks for high-value parts and tools.
Customer Safety App – Rolled out a mobile solution for emergency help, issue reporting, and live notifications.
Construction Site Guarding – Designed remote video monitoring and mobile patrols tailored for complex site protection.
