Yes, but my point was that it will be very unlikely you will found many
private companies that monitor these types of systems, most of these are
Most Federal agecies do their own monitoring.
Facilities subject to the NISPOM aren't government agencies. They are
federal government contractors who must have an IDS per DCID 6/9
and/or UL2050. These systems are generally installed, certificated,
and monitored by private industry security contractors.
Also, most stand-alone federal facilities are monitored by private
industry. Obvious exceptions are military bases and larger buildings
or complexes with proprietary security systems. The company I work
for contracts with about every federal agency you've heard of (and a
few you haven't) to provide electronic security equipment and service
including monitoring in many cases.
