Martyn’s Law: Are Your Customers Ready to Meet the Enhanced Requirements?

As the implementation of Martyn’s Law (The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025) moves closer, organisations responsible for premises with an expected capacity of 800 or more people (including staff) should already be reviewing their security and emergency response plans.

If any of your customers manage a:

✓ University or college campus

✓ NHS Trust or major hospital

✓ Theatre or concert venue

✓ Stadium or sports venue

✓ Museum or large art gallery

✓ Exhibition or conference centre

✓ Large place of worship

✓ Major visitor attraction

✓ Civic building or public venue

then it is likely to fall within the Enhanced Tier.

Enhanced Tier Brings Additional Responsibilities

Unlike Standard Tier, Enhanced Tier organisations are expected to demonstrate a more comprehensive and documented approach to protecting people from terrorist incidents.

This includes taking reasonably practical steps to:

✓ Assess the risks specific to your premises

✓ Develop and maintain security procedures

✓ Coordinate response across multiple teams & locations

✓ Control access to buildings and sensitive areas

✓ Communicate with staff, visitors & emergency services

✓ Support evacuation, lockdown & invacuation procedures

✓ Review, monitor & continually improve security

Technology alone doesn’t create compliance, but the right solutions can play a crucial role in supporting these responsibilities.

Build a Connected Security & Communication Strategy

Intelligent Access Control

2N IP Verso 2.0
2N Force 2.0

2N IP Verso 2.0

2N Force 2.0
Modular IP Intercom

Purpose-built for high-security perimeter entrances, the Force 2.0 delivers vandal-resistant audio and video communication at vehicle entrances, loading bays, staff entrances and public access points.

Site-Wide Emergency Notification

Algo 8180

Algo 8180
SIP Audio Alerter

Deliver clear voice announcements to individual buildings, departments or entire campuses, supporting rapid evacuation or lockdown.

Algo 8128

Algo 8128
SIP Strobe Light

High-intensity visual alerting helps ensure emergency notifications are seen as well as heard, improving accessibility and awareness across busy public spaces.

Algo 8138

Algo 8138
SIP Visual Alerter

Ensures critical alerts are seen too through high-visibility flashing. Ideal for noisy environments and to aid those with hearing impairments.

Unified Command & Incident Management

Large venues often require more than simply broadcasting announcements.

From a single operator console, security teams can monitor events, initiate emergency broadcasts, communicate with staff, view live video feeds and coordinate responses across multiple buildings or sites.

Fanvil A330i

Fanvil A330i
Unified Dispatch Console

The Fanvil A330i Unified Dispatch Console provides a central communications platform that combines SIP paging and public addressing, intercom management, emergency broadcasting, live video monitoring, alarm management, remote device control, visual dispatch and incident coordination.

Intelligent Video Communication

Fanvil A513W

Fanvil A513W
Video Speaker

The Fanvil A513W Video Speaker is designed for environments requiring enhanced monitoring and rapid communication. Combining HD video, two-way SIP communication, emergency broadcasting and remote monitoring, it enables security teams to communicate directly with people at key locations while supporting wider incident management procedures.

Integrated CCTV & Security Platforms

Enhanced Tier organisations frequently operate enterprise CCTV systems.

The 2N IP Verso 2.0 can integrate with Milestone XProtect and other ONVIF-compatible Video Management Systems, allowing operators to combine visitor management, door entry and live video into a single operational workflow, improving situational awareness during both everyday operations and emergency incidents.

Prepare Before Enforcement Begins

The statutory guidance for Martyn’s Law has now been published, with enforcement expected in Spring 2027.

Now is the ideal time to prompt your customers to review their existing infrastructure and consider whether their communication, access control and incident management systems are capable of supporting the wider preparedness strategy.

Ask your customers:

✓ Can security coordinate across multiple buildings?

✓ Can you communicate with thousands immediately?

✓ Do your access and CCTV systems work together?

✓ Can emergency announcements reach all indoor
and outdoor areas?

✓ Do operators have a single platform for managing
communications during an incident?

If the answer to any of these is “not yet”, we can help.
