Strategic Command Centers LLC has released the SCC Spectrum Security Almanacs, a new line of reference standards for physical security practitioners.

Security programs have always been built from scratch. The requirements that govern physical security and emergency management are scattered across federal agencies, accreditation bodies and industry associations, and the industry has never agreed on a single foundation to build from. Each practitioner reads the regulations, weighs the accreditation criteria and assembles a program alone, hoping it holds up to scrutiny.

Each Spectrum almanac unifies the governing regulations, accreditation criteria and ASIS and IAHSS best practices for one industry into a single citation-backed reference. Every standard pairs its sources with customization guidance, sample language, practical context from lived operations, compliance mapping and an implementation checklist. The 2026 editions cover hospital, food supply chain and commercial warehousing security, with data centers, K-12 schools and veterans’ hospitals in development.

“When I became a hospital security manager, the resource I needed didn’t exist, so I built it,” said Nate Makanoff, founder and CEO, Strategic Command Centers. “Every security leader eventually gets asked what standard their program was built to. Until now, there was no good answer. Spectrum gives them something to point to.”
