Incident Management, Risk & Resilience Platform

The control room has changed. Once the domain of security-only operations, it’s now the nerve centre for entire organisations, coordinating everything from business continuity and building safety to ESG reporting and tenant experience. But while the role of the control room has expanded, the technology behind it hasn’t always kept pace. And it’s causing real […]

What you’ll learn in this blog: Two decades since 7/7: What’s changed, and why it matters On 7 July 2005, four suicide bombers carried out a coordinated attack on London’s transport network — killing 52 people and injuring over 700 others. It was the UK’s deadliest terrorist attack since the Lockerbie bombing and marked a […]

For security teams and commercial property owners, the safety of people, assets, and spaces is a non-negotiable priority. Yet managing this effectively across large, multi-use or high-traffic sites is no small task.

Resilience in the built environment is no longer a nice-to-have – it’s a necessity. From high-rise commercial towers to smart campuses, today’s buildings are complex, interconnected systems that must operate seamlessly to support safety, security, and business continuity. Yet even the most advanced environments are vulnerable to disruption. A sudden power failure, a fire system […]

In Commercial Real Estate (CRE), compliance is the quiet engine that ensures buildings run safely, efficiently, and within the law.
