Risk management professionals involved with cannabis organizations must be aware of the specific legal requirements regarding safety and security in this sector, including security technology, employee checks, and visitor and inventory requirements. This webinar will cover additional, and often overlooked, security risks and mitigation strategies for cannabis businesses, including vaults and storage, guards and transportation.
