Client: A leading global IT services and engineering firm
The Situation
Two high-capacity data centres located in North and South India required a comprehensive physical security upgrade. These brownfield sites supported global clients and operated 24/7, making downtime unacceptable. The company needed a partner to assess, redesign, and manage the phased enhancement of its Data Centre Physical Security infrastructure.
Our Response
MitKat began with a detailed site risk analysis to understand legacy systems, physical flow constraints, and emerging threats. The project involved:
- Reworking security zoning based on critical asset location and access patterns
- Upgrading surveillance infrastructure and consolidating it into a centralised PSIM platform
- Replacing badge-only access with biometric-based multi-factor authentication
- Coordinating all design, procurement, and execution through structured project governance
Emphasis was placed on audit-readiness, documentation, and user training.
Outcome
The security upgrades were completed across both sites with zero operational interruption. Surveillance coverage increased by over 60%, access violations reduced significantly, and security audit preparedness reached full maturity. The client reported improved confidence from external stakeholders and audit bodies.
MitKat’s brownfield upgrade strategy empowered a global IT services provider to modernise legacy infrastructure into a unified, audit-ready security ecosystem, bridging compliance gaps and strengthening physical resilience across critical assets.
