Integrated Physical Security
Modern Physical Security for a Cloud-Connected World
Protecting People, Facilities and Operations with Intelligent Security Platforms. We help organisations improve safety, visibility and operational control through Verkada’s modern cloud-based physical security solutions.
Physical security has evolved beyond cameras and alarms.
Physical security is no longer just about recording incidents after they happen. Modern organisations need visibility, control and intelligence across their facilities to protect people, assets and operations. Traditional security systems used to mean complex infrastructure, fragmented monitoring and people intensive responses.
Cloud-based security platforms such as Verkada change this model. By combining cameras, access control, environmental sensors and cloud management, organisations can monitor and protect facilities in real time while maintaining simplicity, scalability and strong security controls.
Our Integrated Physical Security Solutions help organisations design, deploy and manage modern security environments that improve safety while remaining easy to operate.
Why traditional security systems often fall short
Many organisations still operate legacy security environments that were designed for a different era. Common challenges include:
Disconnected cameras, alarms and access systems
Limited visibility across multiple sites
High maintenance and infrastructure costs
Difficult user interfaces and slow incident response
Security systems that operate outside IT governance
Now, an integrated physical security approach changes that.
Respond faster, improve safety and strengthen security.
A cloud-managed security platform that provides real-time visibility across facilities while simplifying deployment and management.
Our Integrated Physical Security Solutions are custom designed for you leveraging the Verkada platform, which combines multiple security capabilities into a single, secure cloud environment. This approach allows organisations to replace fragmented legacy systems with a unified security environment that is easier to manage and more responsive to real-world events.
Where appropriate, physical security systems can also integrate with broader technology environments such as identity platforms like Microsoft Entra ID, enabling organisations to align building access with identity governance and security policies.

Physical Security in the Age of AI
Beyond the camera: smarter, integrated security for modern organisations
As physical security converges with IT, cloud and identity platforms, organisations need more than standalone cameras and access systems. In this on‑demand webinar, our experts explore how AI‑driven insights, cloud‑managed infrastructure and identity‑based access control are transforming physical security into an intelligent, connected capability.
Discover how integrated platforms, such as Verkada, improve visibility, strengthen governance and enable scalable security across multiple sites – helping organisations reduce risk and prepare for what’s next.
Take the Physical Security Assessment to understand how well your current environment supports modern, integrated security and where opportunities exist to strengthen it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should physical security sit under IT or operations?
Traditionally, physical security systems such as cameras and access control were managed by facilities or maintenance teams. However, modern cloud-based platforms now generate large amounts of operational data and integrate with broader technology environments such as identity platforms, networks and monitoring systems.
Because of this, many organisations are moving toward a collaborative model between IT, security and operations teams. Facilities teams maintain day-to-day oversight of buildings and safety, while IT ensures systems are secure, governed and integrated with the wider technology environment.
This approach unlocks greater value from physical security systems, turning them from standalone infrastructure into a source of operational insight.
You can learn more about this evolving model in our article “From Doors to Data: Treating Physical Security as an IT System.”
Who are Verkada?
Verkada is a global leader in modern cloud-based physical security systems. Founded by former Meraki engineers, Verkada was designed from the ground up to bring the simplicity and scalability of cloud technology to physical security.
IT Integrity chose to partner with Verkada as the leading platform globally, combining several security capabilities into a single cloud-managed environment, including security cameras, access control, environmental sensors, alarms and intercom systems. This unified approach allows organisations to manage security across multiple sites from one interface while maintaining strong security controls.
Unlike traditional systems that rely on on-premise servers and fragmented monitoring tools, Verkada devices connect securely to the cloud. This enables faster deployment, simplified management and powerful search capabilities, including AI-driven analytics that help security teams quickly locate events and respond to incidents.
How can Verkada integrate with an enterprise IT or Microsoft environment?
Modern security systems no longer operate in isolation from the broader technology environment. Increasingly, organisations are aligning physical security with identity, network and governance frameworks to improve visibility and control.
Verkada supports integration with enterprise identity platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID. This allows organisations to align building access with digital identity policies, ensuring that the same governance principles applied to system access can also apply to physical environments.
For example, organisations can manage access permissions centrally, streamline onboarding and offboarding processes and improve oversight of who has access to facilities and systems.
This approach supports a more unified security model where physical and digital access controls work together rather than operating as separate environments.
You can learn more about how identity platforms support modern security environments on our Identity Management page.
How can organisations leverage AI in physical security?
Artificial intelligence is transforming the value organisations can extract from physical security systems. Instead of simply recording footage for later review, modern AI-powered platforms can help security teams identify events, patterns and anomalies in real time.
Verkada’s AI capabilities allow organisations to quickly search video footage for specific attributes such as people, vehicles, colours or behaviours. This dramatically reduces the time required to investigate incidents and improves situational awareness across facilities.
AI-powered alerts can also notify teams of unusual activity, helping organisations respond faster to potential risks. For example, alerts can be triggered by unusual movement patterns, unexpected activity outside business hours or safety events in restricted areas.
These capabilities allow organisations to move from reactive surveillance toward proactive security and operational insight, improving both safety and efficiency across facilities.
How do modern cloud-based security platforms differ from traditional security systems?
Traditional security systems were typically built around on-premise hardware such as DVR or NVR servers that stored footage locally and required specialised infrastructure to manage. Access control systems, alarms and cameras were often deployed as separate systems with limited integration, making them difficult to manage across multiple sites.
Modern platforms such as Verkada take a fundamentally different approach. Devices such as cameras, sensors and access control systems connect securely to a cloud-based management platform, allowing organisations to monitor and manage their entire environment from a single interface. This reduces infrastructure complexity, simplifies deployment and makes it easier to scale security across multiple locations.
Cloud-managed systems also introduce capabilities that were difficult or impossible with traditional setups. These include AI-powered video search, real-time alerts, secure remote access, automated updates and centralised reporting. The result is a security environment that is easier to operate, more responsive to incidents and better aligned with modern IT governance practices.
