The Challenge
This prestigious law firm, located in a 1920s historic building on Nassau Street, needed a comprehensive security upgrade to protect confidential client information and valuable assets. The challenge was implementing modern security without damaging the building's historic features or disrupting daily operations.
Key Security Concerns:
- Historic building restrictions prevented traditional wiring installation
- Multiple entry points including a public-facing reception area
- Need to protect confidential client files and sensitive legal documents
- After-hours access required for partners and senior associates
- Compliance with legal industry security standards and client requirements
