# 02 · SNS Secure — Scaffold / Research / TODO

**Status:** Planned · natural **Business #2** front-runner · **Tagline:** *Protected by Design*
**Entity:** SNS Secure LLC (operating subsidiary of SnS Network Solutions Holdings LLC)
**Liability tier:** **High** — highest combined exposure of any division (physical install + cyber E&O)
**Signature accent:** Amber `#F5A623` — see [`branding.html`](./branding.html)
**Formal brief:** [`../../divisions/sns-secure.md`](../../divisions/sns-secure.md)

## Scaffold / Research
- **Two service lines, two risk profiles:**
  - *Physical* — IP cameras (design/install, NVR/VMS), access control, alarm/intrusion.
  - *Cyber* — audits, hardening, firewall/UTM, monitoring, incident response, training.
- **Insurance is split:** general liability (physical install) **+** cyber errors & omissions (E&O). Different products.
- **Licensing flag:** 2026 guidance suggests Indiana now requires a **state license to sell/install/monitor** burglar/fire/electronic security, access control, and CCTV — **verify before any physical work**.
- **Possible future split:** *Secure (Physical)* vs. *Secure (Cyber)*.
- Depends on **00-Infrastructure** as the network substrate; sells into the same client base.

## TODO → Plan (do before creating milestones)
- [ ] Confirm Indiana alarm/security licensing requirements (state + local) — blocker for physical work
- [ ] Decide launch shape: physical-first, cyber-first, or both
- [ ] Get insurance quotes: GL **and** cyber E&O
- [ ] Pick core product lines / vendor partners (cameras, access control, firewall/UTM)
- [ ] Draft pricing + service packages (project vs. monitoring/recurring)
- [ ] Define go-to-market (cross-sell from Infrastructure clients?)
- [ ] Staffing: certified installer(s) + cyber skillset (or contractor model)
- [ ] Finalize logo from [`branding.html`](./branding.html) prompt

## TODO → Launch (see [`../../divisions/legal-structure.md`](../../divisions/legal-structure.md))
- [ ] Form SNS Secure LLC on INBiz (owner: Holdings LLC) · EIN · operating agreement
- [ ] Separate business bank account
- [ ] Bind GL + cyber E&O insurance
- [ ] Obtain required security/alarm license(s)

## Milestones
_TBD — populate once the plan above is complete._
