From a security perspective, these environments can change quickly, with access arrangements evolving throughout the day, unfamiliar people moving through the venue and several operational teams needing to work alongside one another.

Data centres sit behind many of the services modern organisations rely upon every day. Cloud computing, financial systems, communications, artificial intelligence and countless business operations depend on infrastructure housed within these highly controlled environments.

During a daytime shift in a block of flats we secure in Central London, our Security-Concierge team responded to a medical emergency involving a resident who collapsed in the gym facilities of the residence. Upon receiving the alert via radio from the spa reception, our Security-Concierge team responded immediately.
