Client: Leading IT & Consulting Services Firm
Location: Corporate Campus, Delhi NCR
Sector: ITES
The Challenge
The client’s flagship corporate campus in Delhi NCR hosted over 3000 employees, including top executives and a critical data center. While traditional security measures such as boom barriers, CCTV, and private security personnel were in place, a recent internal review highlighted concerns regarding vehicle-borne threats.
Key vulnerabilities included direct, high-speed vehicle access to the main building, poorly designed vendor lanes, and limited delay mechanisms near entry gates. The absence of data-driven assessment on how vehicles might actually behave on the premises meant that threats such as vehicle ramming or forced intrusion remained insufficiently addressed.
Our Approach
MitKat was commissioned to conduct a Vehicle Dynamics Assessment (VDA) to evaluate the site’s exposure to hostile vehicle threats. The process involved:
- Mapping road geometry, surface gradients, and access routes
- Profiling potential threat vehicles (SUVs, delivery vans, light trucks)
- Simulating real-world acceleration, braking, and turning scenarios
- Auditing barrier placement and evaluating response time gaps
- Running dynamic simulations to identify high-risk entry points and blind zones
Findings and Recommendations
The Vehicle Dynamics Assessment (VDA) revealed that vehicles could achieve dangerous speeds up to 50 km/h, within short approach distances near the executive wing. Certain boom barriers were slow to activate, and passive bollards were spaced too far apart, allowing smaller vehicles to pass through at angles.
MitKat recommended:
- Installation of serpentine (chicane) lanes to reduce linear acceleration
- Upgrading passive barriers to crash-rated active wedge barriers
- Integrating LPR cameras with speed-based auto-triggering systems
- Redesigning vendor entry zones to restrict vehicle manoeuvrability
- Training security teams on VDA-based response protocols
The Outcome
- Identified and mitigated six high-risk vehicular breach points
- Reduced hostile vehicle approach speed
- Improved barrier effectiveness without significant capex increase
- Enhanced executive and infrastructure protection posture
MitKat’s VDA-led perimeter security approach enabled a leading corporate campus in Delhi to transition from static, assumption-based defences to a dynamic, threat-responsive security design—mitigating immediate vehicular intrusion risks while strengthening long-term site resilience and executive protection.
