How Cards‑X Helps You Meet and Exceed Martyn’s Law Requirements
Martyn’s Law, officially the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act, is transforming how venues and event organisers approach public safety. It’s no longer enough to hope for the best; proactive security is now a legal and moral obligation. At Cards‑X, we believe this is an opportunity to lead, not just comply.
What Martyn’s Law Means for You
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act, widely known as Martyn’s Law, is a direct response to the Manchester Arena tragedy.
The legislation introduces tiered requirements:
- Standard Tier (200–799 capacity): Basic measures such as staff training, evacuation planning, and incident response protocols.
- Enhanced Tier (800+ capacity): Comprehensive risk assessments, physical security measures, and robust access control systems.
Failure to comply can result in significant penalties and reputational damage. But beyond compliance, this law is about protecting lives and building trust.
Our Approach: Security Made Seamless
At Cards‑X, we deliver integrated security ecosystems that transform compliance from a challenge into a seamless process. Our solutions are designed to make meeting Martyn’s Law intuitive, scalable, and future-proof. We don’t just provide products, we create connected systems that elevate operational confidence and set new standards for venue safety.
1. Accreditation & Access Control
Our event accreditation platforms ensure the right people have the right access at the right time. This is critical for crowd management and emergency response, giving you full visibility and control over who is on-site.
We supply industry-leading ID card printers and smart card technology from brands like Matica and Entrust. With encrypted credentials and on-site printing, you can issue secure passes instantly, reducing risk and increasing flexibility.
3. Physical Security Integration
we offer turnstiles, barriers, and door systems that integrate seamlessly with your accreditation platform. This enables real-time occupancy tracking and controlled entry, essential for enhanced-tier compliance.
Why This Matters
Security is no longer optional. It’s a brand differentiator. Venues that embrace Martyn’s Law early will not only protect lives but also build trust and loyalty. Those who delay risk reputational damage and financial penalties.
