NACCU New Member Highlight:
Fatih Group
In this latest installment of our New Member Highlight, we catch up with Joe Fallon, Director of Security and Construction Services with new NACCU member, Faith Group.
Talk about the history of your company.
Faith Group, LLC is a women-owned (WBE) consulting and engineering firm committed to helping educational institutions modernize their campuses through thoughtful planning, design, and long-term systems strategy. Founded in 2004 as a security-first firm, we have since expanded our capabilities to include IT/network, cybersecurity, audiovisual/acoustics, and MEPFP systems.
For more than 20 years, we have partnered with colleges and universities nationwide to strengthen safety, improve operational coordination, and ensure security and access systems evolve alongside campus risks and needs.
We believe successful campus security is not defined by individual technologies, but by how well programs, people, and technology work together. As higher education transitions toward connected OneCard environments and integrated access control, Faith Group has become a trusted partner helping institutions navigate that complexity with clarity and sustainable roadmaps.
What does your company do?
Faith Group provides independent security consulting, planning, design engineering, and construction support—including testing and commissioning—with a strong focus on the education market.
We help campuses assess their current environments, establish clear security and access strategies, and deliver implementation-ready plans aligned with operational realities. Our work spans the full lifecycle of campus security initiatives—from program management and master planning through design, bid support, construction administration, and commissioning.
Whether a campus is evaluating a OneCard transition or upgrading security system infrastructure, we serve as a trusted advisor supporting stakeholder alignment and end-user adoption.
What products and services do you provide specifically to campus card operations?
Faith Group supports campus card and OneCard operations by helping institutions plan and implement access ecosystems that work across departments, facilities, and user populations. Key services include:
- OneCard, Access Control, and Security Master Planning
- Assessments & Studies (systems, operations, policies, staffing)
- Standards Development to align current and future construction with campus security systems
- Program Management & Governance Support across card office, public safety, IT, housing, and administration
- Systems Design & Engineering for scalable, interoperable modernizations
- Bid Phase & Implementation Support, including RFP development, vendor evaluation & demo management, and deployment oversight
- Construction Administration, Testing & Commissioning to ensure design intent meets operational objectives
In short, we help campus card offices strengthen their role as leaders in identity, access governance, and campus-wide security coordination.
Is there a new product or service you want to tell us about?
Faith Group continues to expand support for campuses transitioning into modern, integrated OneCard and access control environments. Areas of growing focus include:
- End-to-End OneCard Lifecycle Support from strategy through commissioning
- Access Control Modernization Roadmaps for fragmented or aging infrastructure
- Education Security Ecosystem Planning to integrate all security systems across complex multi-campus environments
Our goal is always to help institutions build safer campus environments that are secure, scalable, operationally effective, and culture-appropriate.
