Case Study: Imperial College of London achieves rapid closed-campus security and quarantine monitoring with CriticalArc SafeZone Secure

Leading Research University Deploys SafeZone Secure™ to Manage a Closed Campus

Imperial College of London faced an urgent COVID-19–related closure that left a vast campus and valuable assets vulnerable, forced security teams to manage lone workers and quarantined students, and exposed a need for fast, coordinated command and control. They turned to CriticalArc and its SafeZone Secure™ cloud service to rapidly address asset protection, officer dispersion, remote welfare checks, and real-time coordination with minimal staff.

CriticalArc deployed SafeZone Secure™ and had the university operational within 24 hours, giving the security team a common operating view to track officers across the 8,000+ acre estate, use heat maps to verify patrol coverage, and require app check-ins to monitor quarantined individuals. The solution enabled a 24x7 command dispatch center, faster briefings and responses, improved interdepartmental coordination, and measurable benefits in coverage and situational awareness—all delivered by CriticalArc.
