The Importance of Fire and Security Systems in Data Centres
Data centres play a crucial role in securely storing vast amounts of sensitive data, and protecting that data is a top priority for both data centre providers and their customers. This is why having efficient and compliant fire and security systems is essential for any data centre. Providers need to be adept at demonstrating the effectiveness of their fire and security systems to give customers confidence that their data will always be secure, as well as to comply with legislation.
CCTV systems can provide data centres with enhanced security, quick identification of security breaches, increased visibility, improved safety, and compliance with regulations. These benefits can help data centres protect sensitive information, prevent security incidents, and ensure business continuity.

Our CCTV solutions provide 24/7 monitoring of your data centre, allowing you to keep an eye on activity inside the facility and identify any potential security threats.
Our access control systems allow you to control who enters your data centre, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information.
All visitors should be checked against defined access lists. It’s critical to have control over who can enter your data centre. This may be in the form of access cards or biometrics:
- A biometric system scans the fingerprint or iris of the person trying to enter the data centre. Any unauthorised access attempts result in the individual being unable to pass through the data centre’s mantrap.
- A mantrap has two sets of interlocking doors, and identification, preferably biometric, is required at both points. If the biometric system, activates the security alarm then all doors will lock restricting the individual from accessing the site.
Our intruder detection systems can detect and alert you to any unauthorised attempts to enter your data centre, allowing you to respond quickly and prevent any potential breaches.
Gates and barriers are an important element of your comprehensive security system to protect data centres from unauthorised access and intrusion, comply with regulations and guarantee business continuity. Our gates and barriers can be customised to meet the unique needs of your data centre, including access control, monitoring and alarms. We can also integrate our gates and barriers with other security systems to provide a comprehensive solution, including access control, CCTV, and intruder.
