Our Mission
The Secure Building Council (SBC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to creating safer, more resilient built environments. We developed the industry’s first physical security certification program — SHIELD — to raise awareness, provide education, and foster collaboration among building owners, property managers, architects, engineers, designers, contractors, and other stakeholders.
By prioritizing security early in the design process, we elevate practices that safeguard occupants against a range of man-made threats while enhancing the quality and usability of the spaces we live and work in.

Join Secure Building Council
If you want to be part of the organization helping lead the transformation of Security Design, connect with likeminded leaders of the industry and stay or stay up to date about the latest trends and technology, join us!
Whatever it is that you are interested in, we have 4 Committees that you can be part of: Technical, Outreach, Commercial and the Advisory Board.
