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. That’s where a modern Security Guard Patrol System comes into its own – bringing structure, visibility, and responsiveness to your security operations. With […]

Martyn’s Law, having received Royal Assent and been passed as law, is expected to be enforced in the next 24 months. This marks a milestone in public safety, offering a vital framework to counter the dangerous realities of terrorism.  As momentum grows around Martyn’s Law and its implications, I believe it’s essential that our industry […]

The pace of change in technology, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), is relentless – and it’s only accelerating.

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. It spans everything from safety checks to formal assessments – and every role in the building has a part to play. Because compliance isn’t one person’s job – it’s everyone’s. Compliance is more than a […]

What is an incident? An incident is any unplanned event or abnormal condition that disrupts service, threatens safety, or introduces operational or reputational risk. It might be immediate (a fire alarm) or slow to emerge (a series of failed check-ins). Either way, its power lies in its ability to disrupt, escalate, or expose vulnerabilities. At […]

In today’s high-stakes real estate environment, resilience has become as valuable an asset as the buildings themselves. Forward-thinking Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are now investing not just in premium locations, but in the operational strength needed to protect them. Zinc Systems’ Critical Event & Resilience Platform is emerging as the technology of choice for […]
