Alert Enterprise Achieves World’s First CSI Trustmark Certification for Converged Security Excellence
October 3, 2025
Written by: Shane Butler, SVP Global Sales, Alert Enterprise
We’re proud to share a milestone moment: Alert Enterprise has become the first vendor to achieve certification under the CSI Trustmark – Converged Security Excellence program, led by the Converged Institute.
The scrutiny was high and that’s what makes this certification meaningful. It validates not only what we’ve built, but how we continue to operate as a converged security leader.
A Rigorous, Meaningful Certification
The program was exactly what a certification of this magnitude should be: rigorous, intensive, and comprehensive.
Our team underwent:
- Documentation reviews across multiple domains
- Technical testing of our solutions
- Interactive sessions with independent experts
Why the CSI Trustmark Matters
Convergence isn’t something on the horizon, it’s already here. Everyone in the physical security space is engaging with some level of convergence. The CSI Trustmark framework reflects that reality by offering:
- Flexible pathways – certification is possible even if you align with just a few domains.
- Room for competition – encouraging more providers to participate and raise the bar.
- Continuous improvement – a framework that evolves alongside industry needs.
This approach drives healthier competition, clearer standards, and shared progress, all of which ultimately deliver:
- Better platforms for customers
- A stronger, more trustworthy industry
- Reduced silos and accelerated adoption
A New Era of Trusted Convergence
As Dr. Vladimir Bunic, CEO of the Converged Institute, shared:
“Over the past year, we have been working closely with pioneering leaders to shape and refine a first-of-its-kind program designed to establish the gold standard of trust for convergence. I’m proud to announce that our first vendor, Alert Enterprise, has now achieved certification under the CSI Trustmark. This is not just a victory for one company; it’s a signal to the entire industry that a new era of trusted convergence is here.”
The Trustmark program was built on four clear objectives:
- Security Standards – establish industry-wide confidence
- Clear Benchmarks – measurable criteria for evaluation
- Rigorous Testing – deep validation of implementations
- Competitive Edge – meaningful differentiation for certified vendors
And the benefits extend beyond a single company: enhanced security, increased customer trust, risk reduction, regulatory alignment, and industry recognition.
What's Next
This is just the beginning. The Converged Institute is driving something significant, and we encourage every solution provider, enterprise, regulator, and partner to get involved.
At Alert Enterprise, we believe convergence is more than technology, it’s about collaboration, competition, and shared trust. Together, we can raise the bar for the entire industry.
