SIRV shortlisted for two categories at the Security & Fire Excellence Awards 2025
Event: 1 December 2025, London
We’re delighted to be shortlisted in two categories at this year’s Security & Fire Excellence Awards (SFEA):
-
Security Software Product or SaaS Innovation of the Year – Workplace Experience with AI-driven Travel Insights
-
Best AI Technology Application by a Security Provider – Cal, the governable AI agent for security & risk teams
Workplace Experience with AI-driven Travel Insights (SaaS Innovation)
Designed to improve daily safety, wellbeing and confidence for employees and visitors—while helping facilities teams anticipate external risks.
What it does
Aggregates live data into one, easy-to-read view: public transport schedules and delays, local traffic, shuttle services, severe weather alerts and power outage feeds.
Why AI matters
-
Generative AI accelerated prototyping, reducing time-to-value.
-
An AI monitoring agent filters noise across feeds and surfaces only actionable impacts.
Where it’s running
Deployed at UCB’s Slough campus, with planned rollout to the new £1bn Windlesham research campus. Components include reception displays with live travel & safety, threat/risk dashboards for facilities, and a planned intranet module.
Benefits observed
-
Employees save ~5–10 minutes/week by avoiding disruptions.
-
Fewer lone waits outdoors after dark; better visibility of evening/weekend exposure.
-
Improved visitor experience at reception and fewer ad-hoc travel queries for FM teams.
“This is more than a facilities project, it’s a step towards a more resilient and intelligent workplace.” UCB Director of Facilities
Cal: Governable AI for security & risk (Best AI Application)
Security teams face information overload. Cal ingests multi-source alerts, detects patterns (e.g., sudden protest activity, access anomalies) and executes agentic workflows: retrieves the correct SOP, notifies the right people and logs actions automatically.
Governable, safe, auditable
Customers control data access and approvals. Deployed in UK-based environments, aligned to ISO 27001 and GDPR, with embedded bias/hallucination checks.
Early results
-
65% faster incident treatment in pilots vs manual monitoring.
-
Detected a power-outage disruption 90 minutes earlier than manual methods.
-
>80% alignment between Cal’s high-priority classifications and human analysts.
-
Instant, audit-ready reports to support compliance (incl. emerging Martyn’s Law needs).
What’s next
-
Intranet module for staff-wide travel/safety updates.
-
Deeper Cal integration so users can query live data (e.g., “Is my train home delayed?”).
-
Expanded feeds (air quality, ESG-linked indicators).
-
UK green data-centre migration to reduce environmental impact.
-
Sector adaptations for universities and multi-site corporates (wayfinding, lone-worker safeguards).
