The thing worth protecting isn't on the loading dock

On a technology campus the asset is intellectual property, and the risk is a person with legitimate access to one area walking into another. Access tiers, lab separation and a defensible record matter far more than camera count. DWG helps companies specify to that.

Tiers and records, not perimeter

The perimeter is usually the easy part. The difficulty is the internal boundaries between teams, labs and programmes, and evidencing that they held.

We help design credential tiers around teams, programmes and labs, specify platforms that produce a defensible access record, review bills of materials by zone sensitivity, and confirm integration with the identity systems already in place so access follows employment and project assignment. 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.

  • Does access follow team and project assignment automatically?
  • Can we evidence who entered a restricted lab, and when?
  • How are contractors and visiting partners handled?
  • What separates programme areas from general campus?
  • Does this integrate with our identity provider?
  • How fast can access be revoked on termination?
  • Can one platform cover labs, offices and data rooms?

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

Vendor-neutral technical expertise

DWG works across a broad portfolio of leading security manufacturers. Rather than promoting a single product line, we help you evaluate qualified solutions on the criteria that matter.

  • Lifecycle cost
  • Budget alignment
  • Future scalability

Resource coordination

  • Work with the integrator or contractor you already use
  • Bring in integration, field and engineering resources where you need them
  • Product, engineering and deployment coordinated as one project
  • Shaped around what the end user needs, not a fixed model
