Build // Physical Security

Physical and Digital Security Run on the Same Network. Design Them Together.

Surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection for premises, data centers, and critical assets — engineered by the team that also runs your network, because that is the layer these systems live on.

Capabilities

What We Design and Build

Six capability areas. Most engagements combine three or four.

Video Surveillance & VMS

/ 01
Coverage you can evidence

Camera placement designed against sightlines and lighting conditions, with storage sized to the retention period your policy commits to.

Camera placement designIP camera deploymentVMS platformRetention sizingAnalyticsRemote viewing

Access Control

/ 02
Who, where, when

Card, biometric, and mobile credentials with an audit trail that answers who entered the data center at 03:00 without a manual review.

Intrusion Detection

/ 03
Alerts with context

Sensors tuned to reduce nuisance activation, integrated with cameras so an alarm arrives with the footage attached.

Data Center Physical Security

/ 04
The control family assessors ask about

Mantraps, rack-level access, and environmental monitoring, mapped to the NCA ECC and SACS-002 requirements they satisfy.

Integration with Network & SOC

/ 05
One estate, one team

These devices sit on your network and generate security events. The design accounts for both facts.

Command & Control Rooms

/ 06
Built for the operator

Video walls, workstation ergonomics, and workflows designed around people who watch screens for a full shift.

Delivery Model

Five Phases, and What You Get From Each

Each phase closes with a deliverable you own.

01
Week 1–2

Discover

Site walk, threat assessment, current-system audit, and the regulatory obligations attached to your sector.

You get: site assessment and threat model
02
Week 2–4

Design

Camera coverage maps, access zones, network topology, and storage sizing, approved before hardware is quoted.

You get: signed-off design with coverage maps
03
Week 4–6

Pilot

One zone deployed and validated. Blind spots and lighting issues surface here.

You get: validated pilot zone
04
Ongoing

Deploy

Zone by zone, with the existing system live until each replacement is verified.

You get: phased deployment, continuous coverage
05
Close

Handover

As-built coverage maps, operator training, and an agreed monitoring path.

You get: as-built docs, trained operators, support model
Standards

What We Design Against

Physical security controls mapped to the frameworks your assessors evaluate.

Standards-led design

Our physical security designs are mapped to the control requirements and operational standards that apply to each client environment.

Specific technology selections are documented after site assessment and requirements validation.

Case Pattern

What This Looks Like in Practice

Illustrative Pattern — Not a Client Engagement

Government Entity, Riyadh

The Problem

Legacy analogue CCTV, no access audit trail, NCA ECC physical control gaps identified in assessment.

The Approach

Threat model established before camera count. Coverage maps designed against sightlines. Access zones mapped to actual role requirements. Phased deployment with the existing system live until each zone was verified.

The Outcome

Complete audit trail, ECC physical control gaps closed with evidence, surveillance events integrated into the SOC.

This is a representative pattern showing how the delivery model works, not a specific client engagement. Real anonymized case studies are available under NDA after a scoping conversation.

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked

Why source physical security from an IT company?

Cameras and readers are network endpoints that generate security events. Designing them alongside the network they run on keeps them inside the monitored estate.

Can you integrate with our existing cameras?

Usually. Discovery establishes what is worth retaining, and full replacement is recommended only where warranted.

Does this support NCA ECC compliance?

Yes. ECC includes physical security control families, and assessors request evidence of access control and monitoring.

Do you monitor the cameras for us?

Surveillance events can integrate into our SOC. Staffed guard monitoring is a separate service and outside our scope.

Your Cameras Sit on Your Network

Book a site security review. We will walk the site, map the coverage gaps, and identify which physical devices currently fall outside monitoring.
