The idea of a holistic security approach is gaining traction in advanced economies, including Singapore, due to an increasingly complicated security environment, such as terrorism threats and cyberattacks. There is a greater emphasis on asset and life protection by both private and public sectors, and the market's growth is driven by the adoption of a comprehensive National Civil Defence posture.
K&C Protective Technologies (KCPT) is a leading international company with expertise in resilience engineering, encompassing physical security and protective design solutions for buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities. Incorporated in Singapore, the company provides one-stop security and protective solutions, capitalizing on the latest international technologies, Asia's cost-competitive advantages, and Singapore's management skills.
Innovation & Value Engineering
Customers expect high-quality service delivery at competitive prices. To meet these expectations, KCPT ensures that its consultants are experts in their respective fields and have experience engaging with multiple stakeholders. They are well-versed in multi-disciplinary specialties such as digitization, cybersecurity, architecture, and engineering. KCPT also understands that there is a limit to cost when planning or implementing infrastructure design, and compromising on design can be detrimental. To achieve the optimum cost, KCPT performs value engineering but also ensures that physical and cybersecurity resilience and resistance are not compromised.
KCPT began over nineteen years ago when a team of security experts came together with a common goal – to provide a truly holistic approach to security. It understood the importance of being proactive in the ever-changing facets of security and keeping a constant eye on the novelties in the threat landscape. The company’s expertise, experience, and ability to bring best practices to local contexts allowed it to quickly establish a reputation in the industry. Innovation has always been in the company's DNA, and it constantly looks for new talents and innovative solutions to shift the paradigm in security.
The company is now working on a project that aims to bring people's happiness as a significant factor in security design - a testament to its commitment to continuous improvement and adaptation to changing threats. “To make security even more holistic, our new concept aims to bring in people's happiness as a significant factor in planning and implementing complex security systems”, says Dr. Liu Chunlin, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder of KCPT. KCPT advocates technology sandboxing to enable companies to experiment with new approaches in development and understand alternative solutions and challenges.
KCPT offers a range of design-and-build solutions to enhance security for its clients. These services include risk assessment, security master planning, protective design, and actual installations. KCPT provides a one-stop solution that integrates project control, which is cost-effective for clients.
The company's expertise extends to architectural planning, and development, structural and computational engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, cost and value engineering, project development and management, security and blast engineering, and system design and installation.
The company works closely with clients to align with their vision, challenges, and requirements, from the initial phase to the maintenance stage, to ensure that the solutions meet their needs. KCPT also provides knowledge transfer and supports clients throughout their digitalization journey. Clients often prefer KCPT's one-stop outcome as the company offers a single point of project control, delivering cost-effective design-and-build solutions for the very specialized nature of security and protective design. “Our mission is to provide services of a broad spectrum, we strive to be innovative, and our solutions require a multidisciplinary approach”, set by John Crawford, Founding President of KCPT since incorporated in 2004.
Taking A Holistic Approach
KCPT's approach to ensuring the quality of its services is unique and stands out from its competitors. The firm provides a holistic solution to review urban planning and operational requirements rather than offering security consultancy from a narrow perspective. KCPT keeps a constant eye on the ever-changing facets of security, draws the lessons from these detected changes and adjust its services accordingly.
