United Kingdom verdict (TL;DR)
Verified 2026-05-23UK physical security assessment buying is reshaping in 2025-2026 around two factors: Martyn's Law (Terrorism Protection of Premises Act 2025) creating new obligations for UK publicly accessible venues, and NPSA (National Protective Security Authority, the successor to CPNI) guidance for UK critical national infrastructure. SafetyCulture leads UK field-inspection-heavy operations on GBP transparent per-user pricing. Circadian Risk is growing at UK security consultancies for floor-plan-native risk assessment. Resolver (Kroll London office) wins UK FTSE 100 integrated risk management. Omnigo serves UK private healthcare and UK higher education campus safety. Genetec has UK enterprise PSIM presence. UK universities operate under specific campus safety expectations (UK higher education sector security UCISG framework); Russell Group universities are active buyers.
Picks for United Kingdom

Less common than US deployment pattern; selected UK financial services and UK government adjacent SOCs.
How the physical security assessment software market looks in United Kingdom
UK physical security assessment buying is being reshaped in 2025-2026 by Martyn's Law and evolving UK critical national infrastructure expectations under NPSA guidance.
Martyn's Law (Terrorism Protection of Premises Act 2025, expected to enter force in phased implementation through 2026 and 2027) creates new obligations for UK publicly accessible venues at two tiers: standard tier (200-799 capacity) requires basic counter-terrorism awareness and procedures; enhanced tier (800+ capacity) requires more substantial protective and security measures including risk assessment, vulnerability assessment, and documented protective measures. UK venues affected include large retail stores, music venues, theatres, conference centers, sports stadia, transport hubs, places of worship, and large hospitality venues. Physical security assessment software adoption is being pulled forward across affected UK venue operators; SafetyCulture, Circadian Risk, and Resolver are the platforms most cited in early Martyn's Law preparation. The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is the lead regulator with phased enforcement expected through 2026 and 2027.
NPSA (National Protective Security Authority, the successor to CPNI from 2023) provides UK critical national infrastructure protective security guidance. UK CNI sectors (energy, water, telecommunications, transport, finance, food, health, defense, government, chemicals, civil nuclear, space) face NPSA-aligned protective security expectations. CNAPP-anchored cyber controls and physical security assessment converge at UK CNI organizations; physical security assessment platforms supporting NPSA framework alignment (vulnerability assessment, threat assessment, protective security plan documentation) are pulling demand forward.
UK FTSE 100 integrated risk programs typically run Resolver, Riskonnect, or LogicGate as the enterprise risk management platform with physical security risk as one risk domain. Kroll London office presence supports Resolver UK enterprise advisory bundled with software. UK insurance industry (Lloyd's of London market, Aviva, Prudential, Legal & General) and UK banking (HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest) are active buyers.
UK retail (Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury, Asda, Morrisons), UK hospitality (Premier Inn, Marriott UK, Hilton UK), and UK multi-site enterprise (BT, DHL UK, FedEx UK) drive SafetyCulture adoption. UK retail security teams use SafetyCulture for store security audits, loss prevention inspections, and Martyn's Law-aligned protective measures documentation.
UK higher education campus safety operates under UCISG (Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association security group) framework. UK universities face PREVENT duty obligations (Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015) which intersects with campus security risk assessment. Russell Group universities (Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Imperial College, Manchester, Edinburgh, King's, LSE, Warwick, Bristol) operate substantial campus security programs; Omnigo and Resolver are the most-cited platforms.
UK private healthcare (Bupa, Spire Healthcare, HCA Healthcare UK, Nuffield Health, Circle Health) adopts Omnigo for healthcare-specific security workflows. NHS Trust security operations vary by Trust and typically run on internal tooling or basic GRC platforms; Omnigo NHS Trust adoption is selective.
UK GDPR plus DPA 2018 affects physical security assessment platforms processing UK personal data (visitor logs, employee access records, incident reports identifying named individuals). eu-west-2 (London) data residency is the standard UK procurement requirement; verify vendor support before procurement.
Verified pricing data: UK mid-market deals typically £18K-£55K annually for SafetyCulture or Circadian Risk; UK FTSE 100 Resolver, Omnigo, or Riskonnect deals £95K-£340K annually.
Martyn's Law (Terrorism Protection of Premises Act 2025, phased implementation through 2026 and 2027): UK publicly accessible venues at standard tier (200-799 capacity) require basic counter-terrorism awareness and procedures; enhanced tier (800+ capacity) requires substantial protective measures including risk assessment, vulnerability assessment, and documented protective measures. Physical security assessment software supports compliance through risk and vulnerability assessment workflows, protective measures documentation, and ongoing compliance monitoring. The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is the lead regulator. NPSA (National Protective Security Authority, successor to CPNI from 2023): UK critical national infrastructure protective security guidance across energy, water, telecommunications, transport, finance, food, health, defense, government, chemicals, civil nuclear, space sectors. Physical security assessment platforms supporting NPSA framework alignment (vulnerability assessment, threat assessment, protective security plan documentation) feed CNI protective security programs. PREVENT duty (Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015): UK specified authorities including universities, schools, NHS Trusts, and local authorities must have due regard to preventing people from being drawn into terrorism; intersects with campus and facility security risk assessment workflows. BS 16000 risk management standard (BS ISO 31000 aligned): UK enterprise risk management standard; physical security assessment platforms should support risk register integration and risk treatment workflows. BS EN 50132 series (video surveillance) and BS EN 50133 (access control): UK electronic security standards intersecting with physical security assessment workflows. UK GDPR + DPA 2018: physical security assessment platforms processing UK data subject personal data (visitor logs, employee access records, incident reports identifying named individuals) fall under UK GDPR scope. eu-west-2 (London) or eu-west-1 (Ireland) data residency. UK IDTA: required for UK-to-US data transfers; US-headquartered physical security assessment vendors must hold current IDTA-compliant DPA addenda. FCA Consumer Duty (effective July 2023): UK financial services physical security assessment indirectly affects Consumer Duty obligations through operational resilience; PRA SS2/21 cross-references. ICO enforcement: ICO investigations of UK organizations processing significant personal data volumes increasingly raise expectations for risk-assessed physical security of data processing facilities. ASIS RA.1-2015 and ASIS ESRM-2019: ASIS Europe operations bring US ASIS frameworks into UK enterprise security; physical security assessment platforms supporting these frameworks fit UK enterprise security maturity expectations. Sarbanes-Oxley (for UK subsidiaries of US-listed parents): physical security of financial records facilities falls under SOX internal controls; physical security assessment evidence feeds SOX internal audit cycles. UCISG (Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association security group): UK higher education security framework; UK university physical security assessment platforms should support UCISG framework alignment.

SafetyCulture (iAuditor)
Mobile-first inspection platform with the only transparent pricing in the category.
SafetyCulture is the wildcard on this list. It was not built specifically for physical security assessment, it was built as a generic mobile inspection platform (originally branded iAuditor) for any field-based audit workflow, from food safety to construction QA to retail compliance. But its template engine is flexible enough that thousands of security teams use it for site walks, perimeter inspections, access control audits, and post-incident reviews. And it has the only transparent published pricing in this entire category at $24/user/month. For teams whose primary need is mobile site walks rather than full risk-scoring workflows, it is wildly more accessible than the dedicated platforms above.
Smaller corporate security teams, multi-location retail/hospitality security ops, and consulting firms whose primary workflow is mobile site walks with photo evidence and corrective actions.
Regulated-industry buyers needing pre-built ASIS/NIST/ISC frameworks, or anyone who wants out-of-box threat/vulnerability/impact risk modeling.
Strengths
- Transparent published pricing: $24/user/month Premium plan, billed annually, only platform on this list with self-serve pricing
- 30-day free trial, no credit card required, actually evaluate before buying
- Best-in-category native mobile apps (iOS, Android) with offline mode and photo/video capture
- Drag-and-drop template builder; convert paper checklists or Excel spreadsheets into smart digital inspections in hours
- Real-time analytics dashboards across thousands of inspections
- Used by 1M+ users globally across many industries, strong feature gravity from cross-industry feedback
- Strong corrective-action workflow ties findings to assignees and due dates
Weaknesses
- Not purpose-built for physical security risk assessment, no built-in ASIS, FEMA, NFPA, or ISC frameworks (you build your own)
- No floor-plan-based vulnerability mapping like Circadian Risk
- Risk-scoring is checkbox-based, not threat/vulnerability/impact modeled
- Limited compliance library compared to RiskWatch, DIY for regulated-industry customers
- Generic platform means physical security UX is whatever templates your team builds
- Per-seat pricing scales linearly with team size, can exceed dedicated platforms at 50+ users

Circadian Risk
Floor-plan-native physical security risk assessment.
Circadian Risk is the most modern dedicated physical security assessment platform. Where competitors retrofit risk modules onto generic GRC engines, Circadian Risk was built from day one for the specific workflow of a physical security professional walking a facility, marking vulnerabilities on a floor plan, scoring them against threats and impact, and producing a defensible report. The product feels purpose-designed in a way the rest of the category does not. The trade-off: smaller company than RiskWatch or Resolver, narrower integration breadth, and pricing that requires a sales conversation.
Corporate security teams and security consulting firms doing periodic, in-depth, floor-plan-based assessments at 5–500 facilities.
Buyers who need a 24/7 operations platform, sub-$10K annual budget, or fully transparent self-serve pricing.
Strengths
- Floor-plan-based vulnerability mapping, drop pins on visual building plans, link them to standards-based risk frameworks
- Industry-specific compliance modules: data centers, healthcare, K-12, higher ed, government, banking, retail
- Modern web UX, most reviewers cite "feels like 2026 software" vs. competitors that feel like 2010 software
- Strong out-of-box risk frameworks: ASIS, ISO 31000, FEMA P-1000, NFPA, ISC, CPTED
- Multi-site dashboard with portfolio-level views and trend analytics
- White-glove onboarding included; most customers are operational in under 30 days
Weaknesses
- Pricing is fully opaque; reported deals range $20K–$100K+ annually depending on site count and modules
- Smaller integration ecosystem than Resolver or LogicGate, works as a stand-alone, not a hub
- Younger company (founded 2016), less category gravity than 30-year incumbents
- No PSIM-style real-time operations features; this is an assessment tool, not a 24/7 SOC platform
- Mobile experience is web-responsive, not a native iOS/Android app, slower than SafetyCulture for field use

Resolver (a Kroll Business)
Integrated risk intelligence with mature physical security workflows.
Resolver is a full-stack integrated risk management platform that happens to have one of the most mature physical security modules in the market. Founded in 2001 in Toronto and acquired by Kroll in 2022, Resolver brings the credibility and resources of a Big 4-adjacent advisory firm to its product. For organizations that already think about risk in an integrated way, physical, cyber, brand, third-party, Resolver is the most natural home for the physical security workflow. For organizations that just want a focused physical security assessment tool, it can feel like overkill.
Enterprises with established integrated risk management programs (1,000+ employees, multi-function risk teams) where physical security is one risk vertical among several.
Pure physical security teams with no broader GRC needs, or anyone needing fast self-serve onboarding under $20K.
Strengths
- Mature physical security risk module covering assessments, incidents, investigations, and threats
- Kroll backing (since 2022) provides advisory depth and threat intelligence integration
- Integrated platform: same data model spans physical security, ERM, third-party risk, internal audit
- 728+ employees; serves 1,000+ global enterprise customers safeguarding $6.5T market cap
- Configurable drag-and-drop dashboards for executive reporting
- Strong incident management with case linking to vulnerability assessments
- Available in multiple languages with regional data residency options
Weaknesses
- Pricing is opaque; cited as "costly for small or startup companies" across G2 reviews
- Implementation runs 8–16 weeks for full IRM deployment; faster for narrower physical-only configurations
- Configurability cuts both ways, can become a custom-build project requiring ongoing admin time
- Mobile experience is functional but not a differentiator
- Reporting capabilities are powerful but require admin training to fully exploit
- Post-Kroll integration roadmap continues to evolve; legacy customers occasionally cite shifting priorities

Omnigo
Vertical-specialized security software for healthcare, gaming, and education.
Omnigo (formerly Report Exec) has built a deep moat in specific verticals where physical security is heavily regulated and operationally distinct, healthcare (Joint Commission, hospital security), gaming (state gaming boards, casino security), higher education (Clery Act compliance), and K-12. The product covers incident management, dispatch, investigation, and assessment, all configured for the regulatory peculiarities of each vertical. For an organization in those specific industries, Omnigo will hit the ground running where a horizontal platform will require months of customization. The trade-off: outside those verticals, the value proposition is weaker.
Hospitals, casinos, universities, K-12 districts, and law enforcement agencies that need vertical-specific compliance baked in.
Buyers outside the core verticals (corporate security, manufacturing, retail), or anyone seeking a consistent, modern UX.
Strengths
- 2,700+ customers concentrated in healthcare, gaming, education, hospitality, and law enforcement
- 600+ law enforcement agencies, 400+ hospitals, 350+ casinos, 500+ K-12/higher-ed institutions
- Vertical-specific compliance built-in: Clery Act (higher ed), Joint Commission (healthcare), state gaming regs
- Unified incident, dispatch, investigation, and assessment workflows
- Strong report generation with redaction for legal and regulatory contexts
- Configurable to capture the unusual data fields each vertical needs (gaming pit incidents, Clery geography)
Weaknesses
- Customer support quality has reportedly declined post-acquisition; recent reviews flag slower response times
- Outside core verticals, the platform is competitive but not the default choice
- UX shows its age compared to modern platforms like LogicGate and Circadian Risk
- Pricing is opaque; reports of significant variability based on rep negotiation
- Implementation runs 6–12 weeks for vertical-specific configurations
- PE ownership has prompted product-roadmap uncertainty noted in customer reviews

Genetec Security Center + Mission Control
PSIM-class operations with assessment via Security Design Center.
Genetec is one of the two dominant unified physical security platforms (the other being Milestone), used by airports, transit systems, casinos, universities, and Fortune 500 corporates for video, access control, and operations. The assessment story has two parts: Security Design Center is a free design-tool used during planning and audit phases to model camera coverage, access control deployment, and infrastructure layouts; Mission Control adds incident workflow and decision-support to operational events. Combined, this is the right answer for organizations that have already standardized on Genetec hardware and want one vendor to handle the whole operations + assessment lifecycle. For organizations that haven't made that bet, the lock-in is significant.
Organizations that have standardized on Genetec hardware and want unified VMS, access control, and operations on one vendor.
Multi-vendor environments, dedicated assessment use cases without operations needs, or buyers wanting transparent SaaS pricing.
Strengths
- Tightest integration with Genetec Omnicast (VMS) and Synergis (access control)
- Security Design Center (free) for camera coverage and access control planning during assessment
- Mission Control adds structured incident workflows with decision-support and audit trail
- Genetec Stratocast SaaS option reduces on-prem infrastructure burden
- Best for transit, airport, casino, and university operations centers
- Mature partner ecosystem; certified integrators in every major market
- Battle-tested at extreme scale; runs city-scale deployments globally
Weaknesses
- Assessment capability is bolted onto an operations platform, not a dedicated assessment workflow
- Strongly proprietary ecosystem; integration with non-Genetec VMS/access control is limited
- Pricing is hardware/license bundle, not transparent SaaS, expect 8–16 weeks of vendor + integrator engagement
- On-prem deployments require significant IT infrastructure investment
- UX optimized for control-room operators, not assessment-focused security analysts
- Mission Control workflows are limited compared to dedicated incident platforms; operators "can only acknowledge and forward" per IPVM analysis

D3 Security
Security operations platform with native physical assessment.
D3 Security pre-dates the term "SOAR", the company has been building security operations and incident management platforms for over 20 years and has gradually expanded into both cyber SOAR and physical security. The unique angle is that D3 unifies dispatch, guard tour, incident reporting, and physical assessment in one platform, which can replace what older organizations stitch together from a PSIM, a guard management tool, and an assessment tool. Customers report this consolidation produces 80–90% reductions in mean-time-to-respond for incidents tied to assessment-identified vulnerabilities.
Critical infrastructure (utilities, energy, transit), in-house corporate security teams running 24/7 ops, and organizations that want assessment-to-incident-to-response on one platform.
Pure-assessment buyers with no operational needs, small consulting firms, anyone who wants modern self-serve onboarding.
Strengths
- Unifies physical assessment with active operations, incident, dispatch, guard tour all share data
- Mature 20+ year platform with strong critical-infrastructure and utilities customer base
- Used by major utilities for site assessments on 30/60-month recurring schedules with automated reminders
- Strong report generation with ability to redact sensitive information for third-party reviews
- Database-of-repeat-offenders pattern: link incidents to entities, surface trends across assessments
- API-first architecture, strong fit for teams with engineering resources to extend the platform
- Customer support is well-rated for technical depth on complex deployments
Weaknesses
- Brand awareness is lower than Resolver in physical-security-only contexts
- UX is functional but not a differentiator; not the platform you pick to delight end users
- Pricing is opaque; expect quote ranges aligned with mid-market enterprise GRC
- Heavy feature set means longer learning curve for new users
- Implementation runs 6–12 weeks; not a fast self-serve product
- Recent strategic emphasis on cyber SOAR; physical security feature investment less visible

RiskWatch (SecureWatch)
Three decades of compliance-heavy physical security assessment.
RiskWatch, sold under the SecureWatch product brand, has been doing physical security assessment software since the early 1990s. The company's longevity and customer roster (Fortune 100, US Department of Defense, federal agencies) buy real category authority. The product itself is automation-heavy: data collection, risk scoring, and report generation are templated against 35+ pre-built compliance frameworks, which is what enables the platform's headline claim of 74% time reduction vs. spreadsheet-based assessments. The trade-off: the UX shows its age, the brand recognition outside government and large enterprise is modest, and pricing is opaque.
Defense contractors, federal agencies, banks, healthcare networks, and Fortune 1000 with deep compliance frameworks (ISO, NIST, FFIEC) and 100+ sites.
Mid-market without compliance pressure, buyers who want modern UX over deep compliance, anyone under $25K budget.
Strengths
- 30+ year track record; one of the few vendors that has survived multiple GRC market cycles
- 35+ pre-built compliance libraries: ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, FFIEC, ASIS, FEMA, more
- Used by Fortune 100, US DoD, federal civilian agencies, strong gov/regulated-industry credibility
- Heatmap and Google Maps integration for visualizing risk across geographically distributed sites
- 24/7 chat support with live representatives
- Cloud architecture is mature; deployments run reliably at 1,000+ site scale
Weaknesses
- UX feels like enterprise software from a previous decade compared to Circadian Risk or LogicGate
- Pricing is fully opaque; quotes vary widely; expect 4–8 weeks of sales cycle
- Brand recognition is concentrated in defense and Fortune 100; less known to mid-market buyers

Riskonnect
Enterprise integrated risk management with physical security as one risk vertical.
Riskonnect is one of the largest pure-play integrated risk management vendors with 2,000+ customers across six continents and particularly deep penetration in healthcare, financial services, and insurance. The platform was originally built on Salesforce and has since become its own architecture. The physical security capability is best understood as part of the broader IRM proposition: the value is greatest when physical risk lives alongside cyber risk, claims management, business continuity, and ERM on a single data model. As a standalone physical security assessment tool, it is overbuilt; as part of an integrated risk strategy, it has few equals.
Enterprises with established integrated risk programs (insurance, healthcare, financial services, energy) treating physical security as one risk vertical alongside claims, BCM, and ERM.
Pure physical security teams, organizations under 1,000 employees, or anyone primarily evaluating physical security tools without a broader IRM program.
Strengths
- 2,000+ customers across 6 continents, largest integrated risk customer base on this list
- Deep penetration in healthcare, financial services, insurance, and energy, verticals where physical and operational risk converge
- Strongest claims management and insurance-related workflows of any product on this list
- Mature business continuity and crisis management modules
- Extensive integration breadth driven by Salesforce-native heritage
- Strong reporting and dashboarding for executive risk committees
Weaknesses
- Pricing is opaque and skewed enterprise; rarely a fit under $75K annual
- Implementation runs 12–24 weeks for full IRM; physical-only configurations faster
- Configurability requires significant admin investment, not a turn-on product
- Outside insurance/healthcare/financial-services, the value proposition is weaker
- PE ownership has driven multiple product-line consolidations; some customers report transition friction
- Physical security is a smaller share of the platform's total feature surface than at Resolver or RiskWatch

LogicGate Risk Cloud
No-code GRC with custom physical security applications.
LogicGate is the modern, no-code answer to legacy GRC. Where Resolver brings depth from 20+ years and Riskonnect from heavy enterprise integration, LogicGate brings speed: customers build their own physical security application using drag-and-drop workflow design, often in days rather than the months a traditional GRC implementation requires. LogicGate was named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Third-Party Risk Management Platforms, Q1 2026, the platform sits at the intersection of GRC and physical security as a do-it-yourself solution.
Mid-market security teams with strong process design skills who want a platform they can shape, not one that constrains them.
Teams that want a pre-built physical security application out-of-the-box, or organizations without admin bandwidth to maintain configurations.
Strengths
- Forrester Wave Leader for TPRM Q1 2026; strong category recognition
- No-code platform: build custom physical security workflows in days without engineering resources
- 40+ purpose-built apps including risk, compliance, vendor risk, audit, and policy
- AI-driven workflows with anomaly detection and auto-categorization
- Real-time dashboards for executive risk reporting
- Active community of customer-built apps shared across the platform
- Strong integration story: ServiceNow, Jira, Slack, major IDPs, and SIEMs
Weaknesses
- No pre-built physical security application, you (or LogicGate PS) build it from primitives
- Best ROI requires investing in admin training; not a self-running product
- Pricing is opaque; mid-market customers report $50K–$150K+ annual contracts
- Younger company than Resolver/RiskWatch, less category gravity in physical-security-first conversations
- Configurability cuts both ways, implementations can drift into custom-build territory
- Smaller customer base in pure physical security; stronger in cyber and third-party risk

Trackforce Valiant
Guard force management with bundled assessment workflows.
Trackforce Valiant is the result of a multi-year roll-up of guard management software companies, Trackforce, Valiant, TrackTik, GuardTek, and Silvertrac all live under the same umbrella now. The product's natural center of gravity is guard scheduling, tour management, and incident reporting for security service firms (the companies that provide guards to retail, residential, and corporate clients). The physical security assessment capability is real but secondary, most useful when assessments are part of a larger guard service contract. If you need pure assessment software with no guard ops, Circadian Risk or RiskWatch are better fits.
Contract security service firms (those who provide guards to clients) and large in-house security operations with significant guard headcount that also need site assessments.
Pure-assessment buyers with no guard force, small security consulting practices, or buyers who want unified UX across all modules.
Strengths
- Strong guard force management bundled with assessment, best when both workflows live together
- Mobile guard tour and check-in with NFC/QR/GPS verification
- Real-time incident reporting from guards in the field
- Used by major contract security firms; battle-tested at scale
- Roll-up history means broad feature breadth across guard, tour, scheduling, payroll, billing
- AI-powered route optimization and anomaly detection on tour data
Weaknesses
- Assessment is secondary to guard management, not the depth of a dedicated platform
- Feature consolidation across acquired brands is uneven; some legacy modules feel disconnected
- Pricing reported $8–$15/guard/month for guard ops; assessment add-ons priced separately
- UX inconsistency across acquired product lines (TrackTik, GuardTek, Silvertrac all have different UIs)
- Limited fit for in-house corporate security without a guard contractor model
- Reporting is strong on guard ops, lighter on risk-scoring methodologies
