Hidden Flaws Jeopardizing Your Safety & Security Systems?

I’m Daniel, Life Safety & Security Analyst at Datum Point Services. Too many businesses assume their fire and security systems are infallible—until hidden access codes, skipped inspections, or unvetted technicians turn routine protection into catastrophic exposure. In this article, I’ll show you why asking the right questions—and calling in a forensic audit—is the only way to truly safeguard your assets.

Have you ever wondered who controls your life safety and security systems?

I’m Daniel, a Datum Point Services Life Safety and Security Analyst.

Too many companies assume their systems are bulletproof, only to discover hidden flaws that put people and property at risk.

Who has master access to your fire panels and alarm networks?

Did the installer bury secret access control codes into the controls?

And when was the last time anyone confirmed that every technician on your site passed a rigorous background check?

You live on borrowed time if you can’t answer these questions confidently.

Most standard audits stop at “Does it work?”

That’s a start—but it ignores the deeper, systemic issues that can turn a small oversight into a catastrophic failure.

At Datum Point Services, we dig beneath the surface.

Our forensic investigations uncover critical evidence of:

Non-compliance: Systems installed or modified without proper permits or to outdated codes
Maintenance failures: Missed inspections, ignored service logs, and shortcuts that undermine reliability
Hidden faults: Corroded wiring, disabled tamper switches, and undocumented alterations that evade routine checks

Every hidden fault we expose is a potential liability—one your insurance provider would gladly point to if you ever need to file a claim.

Don’t let complacency be the weak link in your safety chain.

Ask the hard questions.

Demand proof that your systems were built and maintained by trustworthy people.

And if you’re not sure of the answers, contact us.

With our specialized forensic audit, we’ll reveal the risks no standard review can catch—so you can protect your people, your assets, and your peace of mind.
