- CCTV, NVRs and remote viewing access
- Telematics portals and machinery logins (where in scope)

- Simple guidance for staff and contractors
Smart Farm Secure in 4 steps

- 4 Educate – give you and your team clear “do this, not that” guidance.
Smart Farm Secure can be a one-off exercise or part of an ongoing Protect+ plan.
