They are only an after the fact responder, like real police. It takes time for them to react. For instance in the sand box, those grains of sand we call gankers, particularly with -5 or lower security status, sometimes manage to trick in and hide in a highsec system and can even manage to gank you. They sneak by Concord and it happens because of the coffee and donut swilling Concord Agents slow response. Concords finest
There are differences between security status and faction standing, might be nit-picking, but better get things clear.
Gankers don't sneak past CONCORD, but past the faction Navy.
The CONCORD branch reacting to agressions in high-sec, is actually called DED (kinda like the fate of your ship should you engage in such aggressions) and they're usually not in a system unless there's been a previous sanctionned action. There is also various tricks to drag DED away from a target in order to slow down their reaction time.
The faction navy however, is patrolling gates and they do react to arrival of players with a negative security status, but unlike DED, they're not as powerful (still punchy though) and their reaction process is staged, what gives people the time to slip away as they don't insta-lock-jam-point-pwn, they often start by webbing instead of pointing.
DED reacts to sanctionned actions, faction Navy reacts to mere presence of a player with a security status below -2 (in 1.0) and downwards or a standing towards their faction below -5. There's a few systems where DED is also the local faction NAVY though, in CONCORD sanctum near Arnon (ie.). Other than that, you can travel in high-sec with a positive security status but still chased by faction navy if your standing towards their faction is negative.
