Integrated Security Management System ISMS

CCTV, access control, perimeter protection and alarms brought together in one command centre, so security teams see, decide and respond from a single screen.

DynamicNav provided project management and supervision for the implementation of the Integrated Security Management System and its supporting infrastructure for the Parliamentary Service Commission.

System scope

  • CCTV and video analytics
  • Access and visitor control
  • Perimeter and intrusion detection
  • Central command centre

What we were responsible for

  1. Implementation planning and schedule
  2. Review of designs and specifications
  3. Supervision of contractors on site
  4. Quality assurance, testing and commissioning
  5. Progress reporting to the Commission
  6. Change control, acceptance and handover

Why integrate

One screen for every camera, door and fence

Most sites run cameras, doors and alarms as separate systems watched by separate people. An ISMS joins them, so one alarm brings up the right camera, the right procedure and the right record at the same moment.

Separate systems

  • Cameras record, but few are watched live
  • Door and visitor logs kept in a separate system
  • Fence alarms that arrive without a picture
  • Incident reports written up by hand afterwards

One ISMS

  • An alarm opens the nearest camera automatically
  • Every entry and exit in one searchable log
  • Each fence zone linked to the cameras that cover it
  • The incident record builds itself as the response happens

System scope

Five subsystems, one command centre

Select a subsystem to see what it covers.

CCTV and video analytics

See every entrance, corridor and boundary, live and recorded.

  • IP cameras for indoor, outdoor and low-light areas
  • Video management with recording, playback and evidence export
  • Live and remote viewing for authorised staff
  • Analytics for line crossing, intrusion zones, loitering and left objects
  • Number-plate recognition at vehicle gates
  • Video wall in the command centre

Access and visitor control

Only the right people, in the right places, at the right times.

  • Card, PIN and biometric readers
  • Turnstiles, doors and vehicle barriers
  • Access zones and time schedules by role
  • Visitor pre-registration, ID scanning and badges
  • Watchlists and denied-entry alerts
  • A full log of every entry and exit

Perimeter and intrusion

Know the moment a boundary is tested.

  • Smart perimeter fence monitored zone by zone
  • Intrusion and motion sensors
  • Tamper and cut-wire detection
  • Alarms linked to the nearest cameras
  • Guard patrol tracking

Central command centre

One control room for every subsystem.

  • A site map showing every camera, door and fence zone
  • Related alarms grouped into one incident
  • The nearest camera opens automatically when an alarm triggers
  • Step-by-step response procedures on screen
  • Incident log and management reports
  • Role-based operator access

Supporting infrastructure

The network and power the system depends on.

  • Structured cabling and fibre backbone
  • Network switching and segmentation for security devices
  • Storage sized for the required recording retention
  • UPS and backup power
  • Server and equipment rooms

Incident response

How an incident is handled

From the first alarm to the final report, every step happens in the same system.

  1. Sensor triggers

    A fence zone or door reports an alarm.

  2. Camera opens

    The nearest camera appears on the video wall.

  3. Operator verifies

    Real threat or false alarm, confirmed on screen.

  4. Procedure guides

    The response steps for that alarm type appear.

  5. Guard dispatched

    The nearest patrol is sent with the exact location.

  6. Logged and reported

    Video, actions and outcome saved to the incident record.

Delivery

From site survey to a staffed control room

Seven stages from the first site survey to ongoing support. On the Parliament project, our role covered planning, supervision, testing and handover.

  1. Risk assessment and site survey

    Threats, vulnerable points and how people and vehicles move through the site.

  2. Design

    Camera placement, access zones, perimeter zones and the command centre layout.

  3. Specification and tendering

    Technical specifications and evaluation, aligned to national procurement law for public bodies.

  4. Supervised installation

    Contractors managed against the design, schedule and quality plan.

  5. Testing and commissioning

    Every device, alarm and integration tested before acceptance.

  6. Training and procedures

    Operators trained on the system and the response procedures.

  7. Maintenance and support

    Preventive maintenance and a support agreement after handover.

Compliance and users

Built to be lawful, used every day

Data protection

CCTV footage and biometric records are personal data under Kenya’s Data Protection Act 2019 and its equivalents across the region. We set retention periods, viewing rights, access logs and signage.

Public procurement

For public institutions, specifications, tendering and contract supervision follow the national procurement law, such as PPADA 2015 in Kenya.

Who uses it

  • Head of security

    One view of the whole site and every open incident.

  • Control room operators

    Alarms, cameras and procedures on one screen.

  • Facilities manager

    Device health, maintenance tickets and access schedules.

  • ICT team

    A segmented, monitored network for security devices.

  • Management

    Incident trends and response times in regular reports.
