Savannah’s Security Experts: scDataCom’s Seraj Issa Earns Prestigious PSP Certification

Celebrating Excellence at scDataCom: Seraj Issa Earns His ASIS Physical Security Professional (PSP) Certification

At scDataCom, we believe that exceptional security solutions start with exceptional people. That’s why we’re thrilled to celebrate a major professional milestone achieved by one of our longest-tenured team members: Seraj Issa, Solutions Architect and trusted expert in security system design, structured cabling, video surveillance, access control and intrusion alarm systems right here in Savannah, GA.

Seraj recently earned his ASIS Physical Security Professional (PSP) certification—an elite credential recognized across the security industry for its rigorous focus on risk assessment, physical protection systems, and integrated security technology design. This accomplishment strengthens not only Seraj’s expertise but also the quality and precision of the solutions we deliver to our commercial and federal customers.

What Is the PSP Certification—and Why Does It Matter?

The PSP certification is a globally respected benchmark for advanced knowledge in:

  • Threat and risk assessment

  • Physical security system design, including intrusion alarm systems, access control, and video surveillance

  • Implementation and ongoing evaluation of integrated physical protection systems

Earning the PSP requires months of preparation, including deep dives into best practices for risk mitigation and for securing complex environments - topics that align closely with many of the services we provide for our commercial and industrial Savannah customers.

In Seraj’s words:

“I’m excited to share that I recently earned my ASIS Physical Security Professional (PSP) certification. Preparing for this was a serious commitment — months of studying, practice exams, and deep dives into risk assessment and physical protection principles. Passing on my first attempt made all the effort worth it and really boosted my confidence in the knowledge I’ve gained. This accomplishment strengthens the way I approach system design and helps me bring even more value to the projects we deliver at scDataCom. I’m grateful for the support I received along the way and excited for what’s next.”
