A practical guide for Security, FM, and Property leaders choosing emergency communication technology for their buildings and portfolios. In this guide: Why building communication has changed Ten years ago, emergency communication in buildings meant a Tannoy and a phone tree. It was slow, manual, and relied on individuals remembering what to do under pressure. That […]
Introduction: The cost of getting it wrong Here is a fact worth sitting with: most security and facilities teams are not failing because their people are bad at their jobs. They are failing because the systems around those people were never designed for the environments they now operate in. Fragmented tools. Manual processes. Disconnected data. […]
Written by Sarah Jane Cork, CEO of Milieu Associates After leaving the AUCSO conference, it became clear that buyers of security are facing a bigger challenge than ever before. The conversation around security has shifted from cost containment to strategic value creation. The question is no longer whether organisations can afford to invest in security, […]
Why Martyn’s Law Sits Within a Wider Duty of Care Those working in higher education understand, perhaps better than most, how complex it is to keep a campus community safe. Universities are not buildings, they are living, breathing environments where thousands of people study, work, live and socialise, often around the clock. The responsibility that […]
In this article: Martyn’s Law will introduce a new baseline for protective security and public safety across the UK. For Security and Operations leaders responsible for publicly accessible environments, the challenge isn’t awareness – it’s delivery at scale, with consistent standards, clear accountability, and defensible evidence. This isn’t a document exercise. It’s an operational maturity […]
Executive summary Martyn’s Law introduces a new baseline for public protection across the UK, placing clear and ongoing obligations on organisations responsible for publicly accessible spaces. For the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) sector, this represents a structural change in how security risk, preparedness and governance must be managed and evidenced. Zinc provides a proven, operational […]
Introduction Most organisations already have some form of incident logging. But logging isn’t the same as managing. And most systems weren’t built for the complexity security and facilities teams face today. The incident management system features your platform includes — or lacks — will determine whether your teams respond with precision or scramble to catch […]
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 […]
We sat down with Jonathan Moore, Director of Operations at Unitrust to talk to him about the roll our of Zinc Connect model across 30+ of his locations. In this interview, Jon shares first-hand insights into the rising demand for higher standards in security management, the challenges facing providers, and how Zinc’s latest product, ‘Connect’, […]
In shared commercial buildings, tenant safety is a top priority. These spaces often house multiple businesses, each with unique operational needs and responsibilities. Ensuring safety and business continuity requires a cohesive approach that addresses potential risks and critical incidents. An Incident Management (IM) & Resilience platform is an invaluable tool in achieving this goal, fostering […]
What you will learn: This in-depth article examines how Commercial Real Estate (CRE) managers & building security teams can design, implement and refine mass notification systems to respond effectively to emergencies. We explore the fundamentals – such as multi-channel delivery, audience segmentation and real-time integration – before diving into practical strategies: maintaining accurate contact data, […]
Managing incidents in Commercial Real Estate (CRE) environments is no longer just a matter of responding when things go wrong — it’s a core part of maintaining operational resilience and tenant trust. From security breaches and maintenance failures to environmental hazards, CRE teams face a broad spectrum of risks. Having a robust incident management solution […]
Mass notification is the ability to send immediate alerts to a large group of people simultaneously, across multiple communication channels: email, SMS, WhatsApp, in-app, and more.
It is essential for emergency response, crisis management, and critical information sharing. The right platform ensures that every person receives accurate, timely information and knows exactly what action to take.

Yes. Build templates in advance for any scenario: emergencies, maintenance, drills, or general announcements. Templates ensure consistency, reduce drafting time under pressure, and can be personalised with dynamic fields.
Three ways: API integration with your HR, access control, or CRM system for continuous syncing; CSV import for bulk uploads; or manual entry for those where an API integration is not possible, for smaller lists or one-off events.
SSO integration is also supported, allowing staff to access the platform using existing organisational credentials.
A single channel is a single point of failure. Different people check different channels. Networks go down. Inboxes get missed.
Multi-channel delivery ensures your message gets through: via email, SMS, WhatsApp, voice, and in-app notifications simultaneously. It also increases engagement rates and supports legal compliance requirements in certain sectors.
Location-specific alerts are more relevant, more actionable, and less likely to cause unnecessary alarm. If an incident affects one floor or one building, only those people need to know.
Geo-targeting also enables faster evacuation management, reduces communication fatigue across your wider estate, and demonstrates a targeted, organised response to any post-incident review.
A centralised platform manages all communication from one place. Administrators can send messages in local languages, comply with regional regulations, and target by geography, role, or building.
Geo-targeting, multi-channel delivery, and real-time analytics ensure consistent, reliable communication across thousands of recipients, regardless of location.
Yes. Zinc is built to support the communication and documentation requirements at the heart of Martyn's Law. The legislation requires venues and events to have a credible plan for alerting staff and the public during a terrorist or security incident.
Our platform delivers instant, targeted notifications to staff, security teams, and building occupants across multiple channels. Every alert is logged with a full audit trail, giving you the evidence you need to demonstrate compliance. Procedures can be pre-configured and auto-launched, so your team responds in seconds, not minutes.

Most organisations are live within weeks, not months. Contact syncing via API or CSV can be completed quickly. Pre-built templates and workflows are ready to use on day one.
Our onboarding team works with you to configure your contact groups, escalation paths, and notification templates before go-live. You do not need technical resources to get started.
Zinc is built to enterprise security standards. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We are compliant with UK GDPR and support data residency requirements for organisations that need data stored within specific regions.
Role-based access controls ensure that only authorised users can send notifications or access contact records. All activity is logged and auditable.
You control who can do what. Role-based permissions let you give different users different levels of access: some can send to their building only, others can broadcast across the entire estate. Super-admins manage the full platform.
This means the right people can act fast in their area without needing central approval, while you retain full governance and oversight.
Yes. Zinc supports communication beyond your permanent workforce. Contractors and visitors can be added to contact groups manually, via CSV import, or automatically through access control integration, so they receive relevant alerts for as long as they are on site.
This is particularly important for fire evacuations and security incidents, where everyone in the building needs to be accounted for, regardless of employment status.
Zinc connects with the tools your organisation already uses. Common integrations include HR and people management systems, access control platforms, tenant apps such as Smart Spaces, CRM systems, and SSO providers.
Integration is via API, allowing for continuous contact syncing, automated triggers, and real-time data exchange. Our team can advise on specific integrations during onboarding.
