About IK Systems

IK Systems is the Security Integration and Design Firm. We engineer security technology solutions for data centers, critical infrastructure, healthcare systems, government facilities, schools, and the environments where it has to work the first time, every time, without exception.

We design security as one system, not a collection of products. Video, access control, intrusion, fire, cyber, perimeter intrusion detection, real-time crime centers, and mass notification — engineered to function as one. Designed first. Integrated second. The order matters.

We started in 1986 as a locksmith shop. Forty years later we design and integrate enterprise security systems across North America. The path between those two sentences is the entire reason we exist. We grew by asking harder questions, designing bolder answers, and holding ourselves to a standard our customers live every day.

Forty years of doing the work right. Forty years of customers who stayed because we kept earning it.

We are an SBE-designated firm and hold long-standing procurement contracts with NYS OGS, PA COSTARS, TIPS-USA, Safeware, GSA Advantage, and OMNIA Partners.

Securing America’s Future® since 1986.
