Detention and Defence
___
Security in detention and defence facilities demands strict control and safety for staff, detainees and society. These environments face heavy regulation and operational complexity.
Point FWD supports authorities in creating resilient security concepts that balance compliance, effectiveness and human factors.
Independent expertise for secure and resilient facilities
___
We bring expertise in detection and security technologies to the detention and defence sector, where screening of prisoners, staff, and visitors requires tailored solutions. With an independent and data-driven approach, we guide organizations in assessing, testing, and embedding technologies, ranging from access control to advanced screening protocols, into coherent security concepts. Through trial programs and training development, we translate innovation into effective and sustainable operations.
Detention and Defence - Services
Technology and concept development services
Identifying, selecting and validating security technologies for detention and defense requires careful assessment and rigorous testing. We support clients with independent technology evaluations, pilot programs, and trial supervision, covering everything from body scanners and automated x-ray screening to presence detection.
Our approach includes developing operational concepts (CONOPS), creating and delivering training programs for staff, and running structured data collection to measure performance. We also drive innovation programs that identify and test emerging technologies to meet evolving security needs.

Innovation and transition services
Security transitions in detention and defence facilities are complex, high-stakes, and often resource-intensive. They require independent guidance to move from strategy to reality without losing sight of compliance, safety, and operational continuity. Point FWD supports institutions by managing transitions with clarity and structure, ensuring that new security concepts are implemented smoothly and responsibly.
What sets us apart is our focus on innovation as part of transition. We don’t just implement today’s technologies; we help clients prepare for tomorrow by running structured innovation programs. These include vendor market consultations, controlled pilot projects, and long-term roadmaps that align facility needs with emerging security solutions. By combining proven project management with forward-looking innovation, we ensure detention and defense facilities remain both resilient and adaptable to evolving threats.
We create functional security designs that work in real settings.
Every checkpoint has its own context, shaped by passenger flows, infrastructure, regulations and operational goals. Our role is to translate these complexities into designs that work in practice. By combining data analysis, modelling and hands-on operational expertise, we create layouts that are efficient, compliant and sustainable. The result is a functional design that integrates people, processes and assets into a checkpoint concept you can rely on every day.
