National Museum Implements Callmy Alert

A London Museum implements Callmy Alert to Support Martyn’s Law Compliance and Enhance Visitor Safety

London, 27 May 2025 — One of the foremost London museums has taken a significant step in bolstering public safety by implementing the Callmy Alert service. This move supports compliance with Martyn’s Law (also known as the Terrorism Protection of Premises Bill), reflecting the museum’s proactive commitment to safeguarding its staff, visitors, and heritage.

Martyn’s Law, named in memory of Martyn Hett who tragically lost his life in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, is new UK legislation that aims to improve security preparedness at publicly accessible locations. In anticipation of the law’s enactment the London museum has adopted Callmy Alert, a critical communication and emergency response solution, designed to provide secure lockdown messages and support for incident management.

“We are proud to be among the first cultural institutions to adopt this level of preparedness,” said the Head of Security for the London Museum. “The safety of our visitors and staff is paramount, and the integration of Callmy Alert ensures we are not only compliant with Martyn’s Law but also equipped with modern tools to manage emergencies swiftly and efficiently.”

In this 45 minute session we will explore:

– How an attack may be planned and how to identify behavioural triggers

– How security teams can improve their use of detection technology

– How communication plays a critical role in making a response

Our experts will take you through real examples of how we are helping customers today to Prevent, Detect and Respond to security threats and will be on hand in our Q&A session to answer all your questions.

Callmy Announce New SMS Broadcast Service

We are pleased to announce the Callmy Alert service now supports a new SMS broadcast feature.

What does the SMS feature provide?

As an alternative to sending messages to user’s Callmy Alert app, you can now also send messages to their mobile as SMS.

Why has SMS been introduced into the service?

We recognise there are some scenarios where you have the responsibility to deliver important messages to end users, but it’s not always practical to install an app on their phone – such as visitors to your sites or temporary contractors – this may currently be a consideration with your plans for Martyn’s Law.

If you now simply add user’s mobile number, via the Callmy Alert Portal, and allocate them to an appropriate message group, they become part of your emergency communication community. In a scenario where you need to lockdown a site or warn of an imminent threat, you know your regular users will receive messages via the app (installed on their phone, table tablet or desktop) and your more informal contacts will be alerted via SMS.

A premium service

As the service will be used for critical situations where a fast response is required, from potentially a large number of users, having a reliable service with none of the normal bottlenecks is vital. We have engineered a carrier class service with a high degree of capacity, with the intelligence to navigate around potential network disruption.

From a resilience perspective the SMS service also creates a useful fallback channel that overcomes situations where data connectivity is lost, possibly due to a cyber-attack, or just isn’t available.

How fast is the delivery?

We have operationalised a “Carrier Class” SMS gateway to support the delivery. Messages are delivered at a rate of 1,000 per second and being carrier class, high levels of resilience and performance are introduced.

We hope you find this feature useful and please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Martyn’s Law Webinar

We are pleased to be supporting an IFSEC webinar on the new “Martyn’s Law Protect Duty” with our our partner Peoplesafe.

With the recently published Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, also known as Martyn’s Law, the government have finally started to outline what is expected of Publicly Accessible Locations (PALs). Organising a response and communicating clearly was one of the key issues outlined in the enquiry and is now part of the draft bill.

Communicating across an organisation to ensure the command teams are mobilised quickly and effectively is a vital part to reacting well to a crisis, as is getting the right type of communication to every level of your organisation. With clearer outlines in this draft bill on what is expected by PALs, it is now something that will come more into focus for all those affected by this forthcoming legislation.

When you attend this webinar, you will learn:

The key expectations from the draft bill
What the bill expects from PALs with regard to communication
How to mobilise and communicate to different response levels across an organisation
How to ensure all communications are clear and consistent
Ways to audit communications
Best practice from a real-life case study
