01 // The speakers

Led by two voices with deep operational ground.

Neil Donaghy

Involved in the security industry for 20 years, has been founder/director of V360, Prime Secure, Trust Hire and Archangel creating new integrated CCTV platforms and fleets which have been deployed across multiple sectors. Now a founder/director for the development and deployment of behavioural AI software into hospitality, transport, logistics, events, construction, utilities, infrastructure and public CCTV systems.

Steven Gardner

Has over 30 years' experience in electronic security, manned guarding and facilities management. Previously Global Head of Security at OCS Group Limited, now founder of Hafod Management (Wrexham) Limited and a non-exec director across several companies. His work on Martyn's Law with the SIA shaped guidance on how operators should manage sites in relation to terrorist attacks. Sits on Boards setting standards for manned guarding, CCTV and electronic security.

02 // The shift

From whether security measures exist, to how preparedness is managed.

For many organisations, the focus is shifting from whether security measures exist, to how preparedness is being managed proactively across sites and how clearly that can be demonstrated if required.

Across the sector, the strongest responses are not standalone checklists. They're structured approaches that improve visibility of risk, clarify ownership, and make response capability more consistent across operations.

Key insight

Most organisations are not starting from scratch. They're building on what already exists: CCTV, security teams, procedures, and aligning it into a more connected and accountable framework.

03 // The session

What we'll cover:

In this 30 minute session, we'll break down what that looks like in practice and how teams are approaching Martyn's Law on the ground.

How proactive preparedness differs from existing security measures, and where current setups sit within it

How the tiered framework is being applied operationally, and what it changes in day-to-day responsibility

What a proportionate readiness model looks like in practice. Structured, practical, and not overcomplicated.

The emerging baseline across venues and estates, and how organisations are standardising preparedness for consistency and evidence

Improving operational visibility across people, places, and response, as leading teams connect readiness into one view

04 // Who it's for

If you're responsible for safety or operations in a public-facing environment, this will help you understand how organisations are shifting their approach and what that looks like in real operational settings.
