“CIC Secure Key Cabinets are an integral part of our security risk management framework in Prime Minister and Cabinet. When sourcing for this type of product it was clear that CIC Secure provided us with the simplest and most efficient solution to our requirements. The product and its design application was vastly different to what we had seen previously and this is recognised with the SCEC endorsement it received from ASIO T4 Protective Security. Its flexibility also made it very simple for us to integrate our existing software and access control arrangements to work with the KeySafe specifications this ensured we could have a simple solution for staff to use and interact with the product Sean Giddings |
