The problem

Martyn's Law isn't another compliance exercise

It changes how organisations manage operational risk, continuously, across every site, with named people accountable for it. That is a management problem before it is a paperwork one.

A document is a snapshot

A written plan describes one moment. Capacities change, layouts change, people leave. The document stays where it was, and the gap between what it says and what you do widens quietly.

A spreadsheet has no governance

It can hold information, but it can't say who owns a duty, when it was last reviewed, or what changed and why. Without that, there is nothing to assure and nothing to demonstrate.

Advice still needs operational management

External expertise is valuable at a point in time. It doesn't run your review cycle, hold your records, or keep obligations connected to daily operations once the engagement ends.

Each of these produces output. None of them produces a system.

The model

Legislation. Management System. Operational delivery

Legislation defines the obligations. Operations deliver them. The Management System is what connects the two, and keeps them connected as both change.

Legislation

What the Act requires, tier by tier.

Management System

The governance layer that holds it together.

Operational Delivery

What your people actually do, on site, every day.

Every organisation's operations are different. The Management System shouldn't be.

CORE COMPONENTS

Built on recognised management system principles

It isn't the point. It is the mechanism that makes the system operable, day after day, across five functions.

Governance

Duties assigned to named people, with the tier, scope and accountability for each premises made explicit.

Documentation

Procedures, measures and reasoning recorded in one structured record rather than scattered across files and inboxes.

Evidence

Every decision timestamped and attributable, so what you did and why is demonstrable on request.

Assurance

A current view of where each site stands, so leadership can state its position with confidence rather than hope.

Continual improvement

Review cycles, change detection and prompts that keep the system live as your operation moves.

Who we help

Who We Help

The obligations are the same wherever they land. How they are delivered depends on what you run.

Permanent venues

Fixed premises with standing procedures, recurring review cycles and a consistent responsible person.

Temporary events

Short-lived operations where the same obligations must be established, delivered and evidenced at pace.

Hybrid operations

Estates that run both, permanent sites hosting temporary activity, each at its own tier, under one system.

What it gives you

What good operational management looks like

Not Software features. The organisational outcomes of a Management System.

Consistent governance
A consistent governance model across every site, regardless of who is delivering operations.
Clear accountability
Every legal duty has a clearly defined owner and accountability is visible across the organisation.
Documented evidence
A structured record of decisions, implementation and continual improvement.
Executive assurance
Leadership can report with confidence because evidence is always available.
Repeatable operational management
Operational management becomes a repeatable discipline rather than a one-off compliance project.

This is what a Management System delivers.

Martyn's Law Portal provides a Management System for the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. It helps organisations understand their obligations, govern their implementation, and maintain an evidencing record. It does not certify compliance with the Act and does not provide legal advice. The responsible person retains full legal accountability. The Security Industry Authority is the sole regulator under the Act.
