Beyond Silos: Where PSIM Fits in Modern Customer Security
In this episode, recorded in the first week of September, we sit down with Oliver Lacey - Director of Sales, UK & Ireland at a leading PSIM Platform. We will explore Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) and its place within modern customer security systems.
We unpack how PSIM platforms act as the unifying layer that brings together disparate systems, video, access control, alarms, building management and more into a single, actionable operational picture.
Oliver shares insights on where PSIM sits in the broader security architecture and why true integration is no longer optional for organisations seeking efficiency, situational awareness and faster incident response.
We also examine the growing impact of cybersecurity on the deployment of these platforms: the risks that arise when physical and cyber domains converge, the security considerations that must be built into integration and rollout, and practical approaches to keeping PSIM environments resilient in an increasingly threat-filled landscape.
Join us for a clear-eyed discussion on the realities of deploying integrated security platforms today.

Secured Landscape: Turning Complex Risk into Confident Decisions
In this episode, Marcus Lambert is joined by James Sarner, Founder & Managing Director of JMS Risk Solutions, for a practical conversation on turning risk work into decisions boards can use.
We cover:
• Why most assessments end up as documents instead of decision tools.
• How to scope an assessment around the processes the business cannot afford to lose.
• Risk appetite in operational language, not slogans.
• Why culture and governance decide whether controls survive contact with real operations.
If you are a security director, risk lead, integrator, or executive who owns resilience, this is the conversation to share with your leadership team.
