Security you can walk through.
Physical Security as a Service — access control, video surveillance, visitor management, and intrusion detection — delivered as an operating model, not a capital project. We design the architecture and source the providers who will run it.

The Thesis
“Physical security is converging with IT: cloud-managed cameras, mobile credentials, and AI-assisted monitoring. Most enterprises are still buying it like it's 2008.”
— Nexora PhySaaS Practice
What We Do
The scope of work.
PhySaaS Strategy & Operating Model
Cloud-managed vs. on-prem, capex vs. opex, and the service model that aligns physical security with your IT governance — not against it.
Access Control & Identity Integration
Mobile credentials, biometrics, and visitor management tied to your existing identity stack — so a termination in AD actually locks the door.
Video Surveillance Architecture
Camera placement, bandwidth, retention, and cloud vs. edge analytics — designed to what you actually need to review, not what the integrator wants to sell.
Intrusion & Perimeter Design
Layered defense for offices, warehouses, and remote sites — with the monitoring and response integration that makes it actionable.
Vendor & Integrator Selection
Independent evaluation of integrators, monitoring partners, and SaaS platform providers — with the contract terms that protect you for the full term.
Cyber-Physical Risk Assessment
Where your physical and digital security overlap — and the gaps that adversaries are already mapping. Converged security, not siloed ownership.
How the Engagement Runs
Three phases. One decision-grade outcome.
01 · Assess
Current state and gaps.
A full read of your physical security footprint: systems, providers, coverage, and the incidents that revealed what the dashboard didn't.
02 · Architect
The target operating model.
Technology, integration, and service design — documented to the level your facilities and security teams can procure and run.
03 · Advise
Through deployment and operation.
Vendor negotiation, implementation oversight, and ongoing advisory as the physical security stack converges with IT and the cloud.

Questions We Answer
If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.
- Q.01Is our physical security converged with IT, or still managed on a separate spreadsheet?
- Q.02When we terminate an employee, does the badge actually stop working — and how fast?
- Q.03Are we over-provisioned on cameras and under-provisioned on the ability to find what we need?
- Q.04Should physical security be capex, opex, or a managed service — and what's the honest TCO?
- Q.05Who is accountable when a physical breach becomes a cyber incident?

An hour with an engineer is worth a quarter of vendor meetings.
Bring the question. We bring the bench. No deck. No pitch. A working conversation with the specialist most relevant to your decision.
