Physical Security Systems for UK Businesses

Assessment first

We start with what you are trying to achieve: protecting stock, controlling who enters which areas, supporting staff working alone, or meeting an insurer or client requirement. The technology follows from that.

• Premises layout, entry points and areas of genuine concern
• Operating hours, staffing and how incidents are currently handled
• Existing systems, their condition and whether they can be extended
• Network, cabling and power available at each location
• Data-protection considerations, including retention and access

Where physical and cyber security overlap

Cameras and door controllers are network devices with default passwords, ageing firmware and remote access built in. Treated casually, they become the weakest point on the network.

We put them on segmented networks, replace default credentials, control administrative access and keep firmware current, exactly as we would for any other connected system.

• Network segmentation so premises devices are isolated from business systems
• Named administrative accounts and role-based permissions
• Secure remote viewing rather than ports opened to the internet
• Firmware and patch management for recorders and controllers
• Retention periods set deliberately, with privacy information in place

What we deliver, and who does what

Installation work is coordinated with specialist installers where the task requires it, with Cloud Agile responsible for the design, the network and the secure configuration of the system.

Intruder alarms, ANPR, automated gates and barriers, visitor-management platforms and monitored alarm-receiving services sit outside our current scope. Where they are needed we will say so plainly rather than take on work we do not deliver.
