ROSI: An Integrated Security System That Reduces Losses from Incidents

In today’s high-risk business environment, security is no longer just an operational necessity—it is a strategic component of business success. This is where the concept of ROSI (Return on Security Investment) comes in: a framework for measuring how security investments help reduce losses.

One of the most effective ways to maximize ROSI is by implementing an integrated security system. This goes beyond simply placing guards at vulnerable points. It’s about building an interconnected, intelligent, and responsive security network that can adapt to various potential incidents.

What is ROSI?

ROSI, or Return on Security Investment, is a financial metric used to calculate the economic benefit of investing in security systems. Unlike ROI, which measures profit against capital expenditure, ROSI focuses on how much potential loss is prevented thanks to effective security measures.

Simple example:

• A factory suffers annual losses of IDR 2 billion due to internal theft.

• After implementing an integrated security system worth IDR 500 million, losses dropped to IDR 500 million.

• This means the security investment saved the company IDR 1.5 billion in losses.

Why Do Integrated Security Systems Improve ROSI?

An integrated security system combines multiple elements, including:

• Professional security personnel

• CCTV and video analytics

• Access control systems

• Digital patrol applications

• Monitoring center (Command Center)

• Risk assessments and crisis SOPs

Through this integration, companies can respond to incidents faster, prevent recurring cases, and significantly reduce costs related to losses, operational disruptions, or legal liabilities.

Key Components That Boost ROSI

Real-Time Monitoring & Digital Patrols
Systems like Protectify enable instant incident reporting, eliminating delays from manual reporting. This reduces response times and helps prevent escalation.

Data Analytics for Risk Prediction
The Command Center consolidates security data from multiple sites, allowing predictive analysis of hotspots and potential violations.

Optimized Personnel Deployment
Technology enables companies to adjust staffing levels without compromising effectiveness, creating long-term cost efficiency.

SOP Integration with Technology
Integrated systems ensure that SOPs are followed correctly in the field—minimizing human error while providing digital evidence in the event of incidents.

Case Study: How Nawakara Reduced Losses

A logistics company faced annual inventory losses of more than IDR 1 billion. After deploying an integrated security system—including certified personnel, real-time CCTV monitoring, digital patrols, and Command Center reporting—losses dropped to under IDR 300 million within the first six months.

With implementation costs of around IDR 450 million, the company avoided over IDR 700 million in losses. This proves that the ROSI value of the security investment far outweighs the initial expense.

Security is Not a Cost, But an Investment

Many companies still view security systems as an expense. In reality, through the lens of ROSI, a well-designed security system saves money, protects reputation, and ensures business continuity.

An integrated security system is not just about “guarding”—it’s about minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency. The sooner companies embrace this mindset, the stronger their business foundation will be for the future.
