GDPR, Compliance & Standards

The EU General Data Protection Regulation has fundamentally transformed how businesses handle personal data. Any company that does not follow these new norms faces severe fines, potentially up to €20 million or 4% of annual global revenue, depending on the severity and circumstances of the violation. In other words, GDPR compliance is not optional. 

The GDPR sets out seven key principles:

  •     Lawfulness, fairness and transparency
  •     Purpose limitation
  •     Data minimisation
  •     Accuracy
  •     Storage limitation
  •     Integrity and confidentiality (security)
  •     Accountability

Specialist Security Systems

We provide bespoke specialist security systems for clients with exacting requirements. We are experienced in deploying overt, discreet and covert systems to provided layered protection.
By working closely with clients to fully understand the threats they face we can complete our informed risk assessment that underpins the system design. This enables them to withstand potentially complex assaults by determined adversaries.

Our clients include operators of Critical National Infrastructure to banks and High Net Worth Individuals.

Many of our bespoke systems have been integrated into existing systems to address a specific threat. We also provide quick response deployable systems to provide interim security while a permanent system is being planned and deployed.

We are experienced in deploying systems where no mains power is available using combinations of solar, battery and wind power.
