Case Study: National Oceanography Centre achieves stronger key security and accountability with Morse Watchmans KeyWatcher Touch

Key Watcher Touch System Delivers Reliable Solution for Enhancing Key Security at UK’s National Oceanography Centre

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC), the UK's largest sea level science institution, needed to improve key security and accountability. With 40 staff and outside contractors accessing keys via a manual pegboard system, Security Supervisor Paul Dent sought a solution from Morse Watchmans to ensure compliance with operational procedures and government privacy laws.

Morse Watchmans implemented its KeyWatcher Touch key control system, utilizing biometric identification and automated tracking. The solution provided strict accountability, eliminated lost keys, and generated detailed reports for monitoring and emergency mustering. The successful implementation for the security department has led NOC to plan an expansion of the system to its maintenance department, solidifying it as a reliable institution-wide risk management solution.
