Cabinet visits the regions

Situation

In 2008, the Prime Minister and his Cabinet embarked on a series of regional public events across the country and also held their full Cabinet meetings in these locations. They needed to be confident that the venues for their sessions were as secure as Number 10 and they knew that, as the UK National Authority for Counter-Eavesdropping, we could be trusted to provide the comprehensive technical security expertise they needed.

Solution

Within hours of the initial call, we brought together a team of technical experts who travelled to the location to carry out an exhaustive technical security inspection and vulnerability study of the venue ahead of the meeting.
This meant liaising closely with all parties involved, undertaking a security sweep of the building and making the necessary arrangements for our mobile countermeasures platform to be in position during the session.

Impact

We have now provided specialist countermeasures support for five regional Cabinet meetings as well as the G20 Summit. Our team possesses an unrivalled level of technical expertise, developed in the field over the last 60 years and uses the very latest technology to safeguard against even the most sophisticated technical security threats. As such, our customers know that they can rely on us to provide them with the very highest levels of assurance.
