To thrive as an OSF Security professional, you need a solid understanding of security protocols, risk assessment, and incident response, often backed by experience in physical security or law enforcement. Familiarity with access control systems, surveillance equipment, and security reporting tools is typically required, and relevant certifications like CPR, First Aid, or state security licensure may be preferred. Excellent communication, situational awareness, and teamwork are key soft skills that help in managing conflicts and collaborating with other stakeholders. These qualifications help ensure the safety of people, property, and information within OSF facilities, while maintaining a secure and supportive environment.
