This ensures a ‘stand-alone’ solution available solely to our company and clients.
Our services offer a ‘zero storage’ solution ensuring your commodity is always on the move towards its destination whenever possible.
We can also provide advice around customs classification of your assets and guidance for duties and taxes where applicable.
Physical Security
Physical security is the protection of people, property and physical assets from actions and events that could cause damage or loss. It may be often overlooked in favour of cybersecurity but physical security is equally important.
The four main types of physical security are: Deter, Detect, Delay and Respond.
Our security methods work together in stages beginning with Deter at the outermost level working inwards until finally a Response is needed.
EML provide full turnkey packages tailored around the needs of the client.
Levels of physical security:
Deter – Deterrence physical security measures are focused on keeping intruders out of the secured area. Common methods include tall perimeter fences, barbed wire, clear signs stating that the site has active security, video cameras and access controls. All of these are designed to give a clear message to criminals that trespassing is not only difficult, it is also highly likely that they will be caught.
Detect – Detection works to catch any intruders if they manage to get past the deterrence measures mentioned above. Some criminals might slip in behind an employee—known as tailgating—or they might find a way of scaling barriers. In these cases, a physical security measure that can detect their presence quickly is crucial. These include many types of physical security system that you are probably familiar with. Physical security controls examples include CCTV cameras, motion sensors, intruder alarms and smart alerting technology like AI analytics. If an intruder is spotted quickly, it makes it much easier for security staff to delay them getting any further, and to contact law enforcement if needed.
Delay – You will notice that several physical security systems have multiple roles: they can deter as well as detect. Many of the physical security measures above also effectively delay intruders. Access control systems require credentials to open a locked door, slowing an intruder down and making it easier to apprehend them.
Respond – Having the technology and processes to respond to intruders and take action is crucial for physical security, yet often overlooked. Response physical security measures include communication systems, security guards, designated first responders and processes for locking down a site and alerting law enforcement.

High Value Asset Movement
The 5 key principles of
high value asset movement are:
-
Physical, technical, and IT/Cyber must work in conjunction and synergy. The principles of security and journey management remain the same, no matter what the asset.
-
Security must be proportionate and relevant to risk (probability vs impact) with a robust understanding of the threats. Potential vulnerabilities should be identified, and possible courses of action plotted and initiated if need be.
-
It must be layered with contingencies in place and supported by protective intelligence. This will help proactively identify, assess, and mitigate threats. This may also include a robust protective surveillance strategy for dynamic risk analysis during deployment.
-
The movement of high-value assets between countries involves interoperability, and clearly understood roles and responsibilities between numerous agencies, groups, and both Government and commercial entities. This is a complex operation, and vulnerabilities can creep in at every juncture.
-
The protection of sensitive information relevant to that operation is paramount, and likely one of the biggest struggles due to the sheer number of components and entities likely involved. Knowing how to keep sensitive information or assets adversaries secure is extremely important. Information such as routes, timings, personnel, codes etc.
