SEiNG by Alert Data joins Secured by Design
Wiltshire-based SEiNG, part of IT services company Alert Data, has joined Secured by Design (SBD), the official police security initiative.

SEiNG is a fully managed Cloud CCTV platform, also known as Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS), designed to provide flexible and scalable video security solutions without the need for traditional on-site infrastructure. The platform works with both new and existing CCTV cameras, enabling users to build systems tailored to their specific requirements while maintaining a high standard of security and reliability.
At the core of the platform is the SEiNG Cloud Gateway, which has achieved Secured by Design’s Secure Connected Device (SCD) accreditation for both CCTV and digital software. This demonstrates that the system has met the rigorous requirements of the SCD scheme, providing assurance that it has been designed with appropriate levels of cyber security to protect against unauthorised access and data breaches.
SEiNG’s cloud-based approach removes the need for servers and complex hardware, instead offering secure UK-based data storage, automatic system updates and proactive monitoring. The platform also incorporates AI-powered video analytics and intelligent search functionality, enabling users to quickly identify and respond to incidents while gaining valuable operational insights.
The system is designed to support a wide range of applications, from small scale installations to multi-site operations, with the ability to manage multiple locations through a single, user-friendly interface. Its flexible deployment options allow integration with existing infrastructure, supporting both modern and legacy CCTV systems.
By joining Secured by Design, SEiNG demonstrates its commitment to delivering secure and resilient digital security solutions that align with recognised police standards, supporting the safe and effective use of connected surveillance technologies.
Phil Davies, Director at Alert Data, said: “Achieving Secured by Design accreditation reinforces our commitment to delivering cloud-based video security that is not only flexible and scalable, but also built with security and resilience at its core. At SEiNG, we believe that robust cyber and physical protection should go hand-in-hand, and joining SBD reflects our dedication to the highest standards in safeguarding both our customers and their data.”
Lyn Poole, Secured by Design, commented: “SEiNG were great to work with from the start. They knew they wanted Secured by Design accreditation and went through the process of having their product tested by IASME to achieve the Secured Connected Devices accreditation. We are very pleased to have a unique product amongst our many members thousands of security products, showing that it’s not only the physical locks that matter.”
