Client confidentiality is the security requirement

In professional services the asset is information, and the obligation is to clients rather than to a regulator's checklist. Access to file rooms, deal rooms and server areas has to be controlled and auditable, without turning the office into a secured facility. DWG helps firms find that balance.

Auditability without atmosphere

The requirement is usually to be able to answer 'who had access to that room, and when' — which is a records question the system either supports or doesn't.

We help design zones around confidential areas, specify access platforms that produce a usable audit trail, review bills of materials for a professional environment, and confirm the system can answer access questions months later without a forensic exercise. How the work gets done is shaped around you: we can coordinate with the integrator or contractor you already use, bring the right integration and field resources in ourselves, or anything in between — whatever the project needs.

How we engage

The greatest opportunity to improve a project exists before anything is purchased. We support every phase — the earlier we're involved, the more value we add.

1. Plan

Requirements, constraints, budget and timing.

2. Evaluate

Comparison across manufacturers, integration with what's installed, cybersecurity review.

3. Specify

Specification assistance, BOM review, value engineering, lifecycle costing.

4. Procure

Quoting, availability, lead times and supply-chain flags.

5. Deploy

Coordinated delivery and deployment, with the resources managed as one project.

6. Support

Technical support, spares and refresh planning.

Questions we help you answer

Most suppliers focus on selling products. We focus on helping you make an informed decision — and these are the questions worth settling first.

  • Can we show who accessed a room, and when?
  • How are file rooms and deal rooms treated differently?
  • Does access follow matter teams and staffing changes?
  • How long are access records retained?
  • Can this be done without the office feeling secured?
  • How do we handle client visitors and opposing parties?
  • Does it cover multiple offices on one platform?

Answered early, these prevent the expensive corrections that surface once equipment is on site.
