IT & Cybersecurity Plans

What Is the IT & Cybersecurity Add-on?

This service extends your Martin's Law compliance framework to address technology-dependent security elements. Modern premises rely on digital systems for access control, CCTV, public address, emergency communications, and visitor management. A cyber attack targeting these systems during a physical incident could severely compromise your protective measures. This add-on assesses your technology infrastructure from a protective security perspective, identifies vulnerabilities, and develops plans to ensure digital resilience.

Who This Service Is For

This service is designed for UK organisations where technology systems are integral to protective security operations. It is particularly relevant for Enhanced Tier premises (800+ capacity) with complex digital infrastructure, but valuable for any venue relying on networked access control, IP-based CCTV, digital signage for emergency messaging, or cloud-based incident management platforms.

What This Service Covers

Security assessment of access control and visitor management systems
CCTV and surveillance network vulnerability review
Emergency communication system resilience evaluation
Network segmentation analysis for security-critical systems
Backup power and system redundancy assessment
Incident response integration between cyber and physical plans
Data protection considerations for security footage and logs
Third-party supplier and remote access risk review

Legal and Compliance Context

While the TPPA 2025 primarily addresses physical protective security, the effectiveness of required measures often depends on digital systems. Organisations must ensure these systems are resilient and cannot be exploited to undermine protective procedures.

For organisations subject to additional regulations—such as NIS Regulations for operators of essential services—this add-on provides integrated coverage. All assessments are conducted in accordance with UK data protection law, NCSC guidance, and relevant industry standards.

How the Service Is Delivered

The service begins with a scoping exercise to identify all technology systems relevant to your protective security operations. We then conduct a technical review—either remotely or on-site—examining system configurations, network architecture, and access controls. Findings are documented alongside your existing Martin's Law compliance materials to create an integrated security picture. We work collaboratively with your IT team or managed service provider to ensure recommendations are practical.
