What we find
Factory passwords
Cameras, recorders and door controllers still on the password printed in the manual.
Instead: every default account removed or renamed, every password unique, sealed and handed to a named person.
We secure what we install.
CCTV, access control, cabling and power for hotels, factories, campuses and banks, hardened as they go in. One Kampala team for the install and the security.
Every connection secured.
Nine systems, secured as they go in.
A camera with its factory password is an open door. We change it, update it, put it on its own network and write it all down before we leave.
Since 2022 our team has delivered more than 50 projects for clients across Kampala.
Everything we install-
CCTV
Cameras and recorders sized to the site.
Secured: Own network, factory passwords gone, firmware current, remote viewing over an encrypted link.
-
Access control
Card, PIN and fingerprint doors with a record of every entry.
Secured: Controller kept off the open network, named admin accounts, logs kept.
-
Automated gates
Sliding and swing gate motors, opened by remote, keypad or phone.
Secured: Remotes and app accounts registered to named people, factory codes changed.
-
Electric fencing
Energised perimeter fences that raise the alarm when cut or shorted.

Structured cabling
Racks, patch panels and cable runs anyone can follow.
Secured: Every port labelled and mapped; unused ports switched off.
-
Solar and power
Inverters, batteries and UPS that keep systems running when the grid drops.
Secured: Monitoring portals locked down; alerts go to a named person.
-
GPS tracking
Live location, trips and fuel for every vehicle.
Secured: Two-step sign-in and access by role.
-
VoIP
Phone systems that run on your own network.

-
Managed IT
We keep it running after handover.
Secured: Patches, backups and access reviews on a schedule.
What we never leave behind.
What we find on sites installed by others, and what we do on ours instead.
What we find
Flat networks
Cameras on the same Wi-Fi as guests and staff phones.
Instead: separate networks for cameras, doors, staff and guests, carrying only the traffic each one needs.
What we find
Old firmware
Devices left on the version they shipped with, known holes and all.
Instead: firmware updated at install, the version recorded, and updates on a schedule if we look after it.
What we find
Unlabelled cables
A rack nobody can trace, so nobody notices the cable that should not be there.
Instead: every cable and port labelled and mapped, and unused ports switched off.
What we find
Open remote access
Recorders opened to the internet so the cameras can be viewed from home.
Instead: remote viewing only through an encrypted link, with two-step sign-in.
Security, built in and checked.
All security workSecure installation and hardening
The heart of every job. We set up each device as if someone will try to break in.
- Default accounts removed

Data protection compliance
CCTV footage of people is personal data under the Data Protection and Privacy Act 2019. We help you register with the PDPO and set how long footage is kept.

Staff training and phishing simulation
Short sessions on the scams that reach your staff, then test emails to see who still clicks.

Every device we fit goes on a handover record like this one, so you can check our work and your own team can run it.
