Public Sector
Local councils (Parish, District, Town, and County) are the backbone of our communities, providing essential services, managing public spaces, and holding sensitive data. From council offices and community centres to parks and waste management sites, public sector assets require robust and adaptable security solutions that protect people, property, and critical operations. The public sector faces distinct security hurdles:
Protecting Critical Infrastructure Council buildings, and operational sites are vital to public service delivery and must be secured against disruption, theft, and vandalism.
Ensuring Public Safety in Shared Spaces Parks, town centres, and community facilities require effective surveillance to deter crime, manage anti-social behaviour, and ensure public reassurance.
Managing Diverse Public Access Public buildings and services see high and varied public interaction, necessitating systems that balance accessibility with security and staff safety.
Safeguarding Sensitive Data Councils hold vast amounts of confidential personal and financial data, making them prime targets for data breaches and cyber-attacks. While our services are physical security, they support overall data security by protecting physical access points to infrastructure.
Resource Constraints and Budget Pressures Public sector bodies often operate under strict budget limitations, requiring cost-effective yet highly efficient security investments.
Vandalism and Fly-Tipping Public spaces and assets are frequently targeted for vandalism and illegal dumping, requiring vigilant monitoring and effective evidence collection.

We have used Sunstone at Ditton Parish Council for several years. They installed replacement CCTV cameras for us and have carried out annual maintenance since. They are very professional and the service we receive is excellent. Would highly recommend. ​Ditton Parish Council
Marc and the team at Sunstone have been nothing but helpful. They have set up and maintained our cctv system for several years now.
