Capabilities / OT and Security Technology
OT and Security Technology
YAVA specifies, sources, deploys and integrates operational technology and physical security systems: CCTV, access control, sensors, control rooms and secure communications, connected into your wider systems rather than left as islands.
Problems we are brought in for
Where this work matters.
Security systems that do not talk
Cameras, access control and alarms from different vendors that never form a single picture.
Equipment chosen before the requirement
Hardware bought on price or habit, then found not to fit the site or the risk.
OT exposed by poor integration
Operational technology connected to IT without a proper boundary, creating risk instead of value.
Services
What sits under ot and security technology.
Each service below is delivered on its own or combined with others. Operational technology and physical security systems, specified, deployed and integrated.
Operational technology
Specifying, sourcing, deploying and integrating the control systems and equipment that run a physical site.
IoT, sensors and telemetry
Sensors and telemetry that turn physical conditions into reliable data, including in remote environments.
Remote monitoring
Monitoring assets and systems from a distance, so problems are seen before they become failures.
CCTV and video management
Camera systems and video management integrated into a single, usable security picture.
Access control
Access control across doors, gates and zones, integrated with identity and monitoring.
Biometrics
Biometric access and identity verification where the environment and risk justify it.
ANPR and vehicle management
Automatic number-plate recognition and vehicle management for controlled sites and perimeters.
Perimeter detection
Perimeter detection and intrusion sensing, integrated with cameras, access and response.
Control rooms
Control rooms designed and built so operators can see the whole picture and act on it.
Connected buildings
Building systems connected and managed so a site is safer, more efficient and easier to run.
Secure communications
Communications that keep working in demanding environments, including where public networks are unreliable.
Counter-UAS integration
Integrating detection and mitigation technology for unmanned aerial systems into a wider security picture. Specific measures depend on jurisdiction and client authorisation.
How we deliver
Delivery.
We choose equipment against the requirement from a vetted supplier network, deploy and commission it on site, and integrate it into a single operational picture.
How it connects
Integration.
OT and security systems are integrated with IT across a monitored boundary and, where useful, into a command environment operators can run the site from.
YAVA advises, builds, integrates, deploys and supports. This capability is one part of a single lifecycle, not a standalone product.
Where we apply it
Relevant sectors.
Applicable experience
Evidence.
Representative work relevant to this capability. Some engagements are anonymised by client where confidentiality requires it.
YAVA does not publish invented clients, projects or results. Where a client is not named, the engagement is described by sector, region and year, with accurate technical detail.
FAQ
Common questions.
Are you tied to particular equipment vendors?
No. We are an integrator, not a single-product vendor. We select equipment against the requirement from a vetted supplier network.
Can you integrate our existing cameras and access control?
Yes. We integrate existing systems where they are fit for purpose, and replace only what needs replacing.
Do you cover counter-UAS?
We integrate detection and mitigation technology for unmanned aerial systems into a wider security picture. The specific measures available depend on jurisdiction and client authorisation.
Can YAVA work in remote or low-connectivity environments?
Yes. Much of our work is at remote and high-risk sites. We design for intermittent connectivity and can deploy field engineers where support on the ground is limited.
Who is accountable once the system is live?
The same team that advises and builds also supports the system in operation, so there is a single line of accountability to the client rather than a hand-off between firms.
How is a piece of work scoped and priced?
Each engagement is scoped and priced on its own terms, with the deliverables, service levels and assumptions agreed and written down before work begins.
Can you work alongside our existing suppliers?
Yes. We routinely deliver inside existing frameworks and alongside incumbent suppliers, including on systems built by others.
