Navigating a new era of compliance and excellence
Jason Brown , Commercial Director of Selectamark Security Systems plc , delves into the future of forensic science.
In October 2023, the forensic science community witnessed a significant milestone with the introduction of the Forensic Science Regulator’s new mandatory Code of Practice.??
This groundbreaking development marked a pivotal shift in the landscape of forensic science in England and Wales, particularly in its application to security and criminal justice.?
However, the implementation of this code, coupled with the necessity for companies providing forensic analytical reports into the Criminal Justice System to attain accreditation to ISO 17025:2017, stands out as a transformative move towards ensuring the quality, reliability and integrity of forensic evidence being delivered into this country’s criminal justice system.?
Counteracting the risks of company branding
Finding the balance between maintaining brand presence and suppressing the risks associated with it can be difficult. Elliott Garner , Marketing Lead at Avena Group looks at how companies can avoid these potential pitfalls.???
In today’s fiercely competitive business environment, maintaining a robust brand presence is more important than ever.??
Corporate uniforms, branded workwear and liveried vehicles are widely used marketing tools that enhance brand recognition and project an image of organisation and credibility.
These elements also foster team unity and accountability among employees and serve as a security measure by validating the authenticity and authority of personnel.???
Rebuilding trust
Kabir Sangha , UK & Ireland Sales Manager – Biometrics at CDVI UK , explains how the company plans to protect its customers sensitive data in the future.
By 2022, more than 80% of smartphones had biometric security features enabled on them.??
This technology is all around us and will only become more common.
Since 2019, the global biometric authentication and identification market is forecasted to grow at 14.6% annually.
