Case Study: Golub Corporation (Price Chopper/Market 32) achieves centralized, DEA- and PCI-compliant security with LenelS2 OnGuard

Price Chopper/Market 32 Innovates in Security

Golub Corporation, owner of the Price Chopper/Market 32 supermarket chain, faced the challenge of modernizing security across 132 locations with varied needs—headquarters, stores, a one-million-square-foot distribution center, data center and in-store/standalone pharmacies—while meeting stringent DEA and PCI regulatory requirements. To address this, Golub turned to LenelS2 and its OnGuard security management system for a unified, compliant platform.

LenelS2, implemented with systems integrator Open Systems Integration, deployed OnGuard as a centralized security platform that integrates access control, biometrics, visitor management, intrusion and fire systems, and a 24/7 SOC. The solution included two-factor authentication, anti‑passback two‑person rules for narcotics storage and remote vendor access controls, enabling automated enforcement of DEA and PCI rules. As a result, LenelS2 centralized security across multiple locations, ensured compliant narcotics storage and access, and delivered measurable operational improvements—automating previously manual controls and earning positive validation from government testers.
