Why a Comprehensive Security Approach is Key in a Free Trade Zone

Over 30 transnational companies have chosen AFZ to establish their operations, transforming the landscape with more than 200,000 square meters of developed space. This thriving community now includes over 12,000 individuals, reflecting AFZ's significant impact on the region.

The Pillars of Our Security Strategy

At AFZ, the safety of our employees, clients, and visitors is paramount. This is why we employ a comprehensive security strategy focused on early risk detection, firmly believing that prevention is the cornerstone of effective security. Our vision is built on security, innovation, and sustainability, providing enormous growth potential and making our free trade zone an exceptional place.

Innovation as the Central Axis of Security

At AFZ, we understand that security must encompass both physical and digital aspects:

Physical Security: Our advanced infrastructure features approximately 1,300 strategically placed surveillance cameras and a dedicated team for real-time monitoring. We have four fully automated entry points, regulating the passage of up to 8,000 vehicles per day. The integration of technology with the human team is key to easing access to the park and remote control, ensuring everyone's protection.

Digital Security: We implement rigorous protocols and measures to protect our clients' sensitive information. In line with the recommendations of the Ministry of Science and Technology, we conduct periodic diagnostics, vulnerability and risk analyses, implement awareness programs, and promote contingency plans to ensure business continuity for all organizations. Our cybersecurity measures are audited under ISO 9001 and the framework of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), allowing us to adapt to our partners' needs, and offer exceptional quality service. Additionally, we are an active member of CYBERSEC Cluster, an organization formed by renowned cybersecurity companies and the academic world.

To elevate security measures to new heights, we recently introduced state-of-the-art surveillance tools in our risk prevention approach, such as DJI Dock drones and the M30T, being pioneers in the country in implementing this type of technology.

A Safe Environment in Harmony with the Planet

Sustainability and innovation are essential pillars of AFZ's comprehensive security approach:

Sustainable Security Initiatives: The organization has invested in acquiring energy-efficient equipment, such as bicycles and electric vehicles, for security control within the park.

Urban Safety: We are pioneers in urban sustainability initiatives and inter-institutional work to formalize strategies that ensure a safe and conducive environment for the entire community. As a testament to this, AFZ is the first and only free trade zone to have the "Safe Route" program in coordination with the Public Force, aiming to increase patrolling and monitoring around the park. Through this collaborative effort, we have successfully reduced crime in the region, resulting in safer and more welcoming spaces for everyone.

Our primary goal at AFZ is to create a work environment where security, innovation, and social responsibility are integrated to benefit all members of our free trade zone. We want every company and every person who is part of our community to feel supported, inspired, and protected.

From AFZ, we invite you to be part of this unique experience and start together a journey towards a future full of opportunities. Join us and experience firsthand how a comprehensive security approach can transform not only your business operations but also your overall quality of life within a thriving, sustainable community.
