SimonsVoss Launches Access Control Readiness Survey
For Sports Venues, Ahead Of Martyn’s Law Enforcement The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 - better known as Martyn’s Law – is approaching enforcement, and it looks to set a legal duty for sports venues to strengthen their approach to security.
SimonsVoss, a leader in digital access control, is offering stadium and sports venue facility management teams a way to assess their internal access control readiness in preparation for the new rules.
The company has launched an Access Control Readiness Survey which will provide stadiums, arenas, and other high-footfall sporting venues with a quick, confidential way to evaluate how prepared they are across key access control factors - including internal door security, role-based permissions, lockdown capabilities, and audit logging.
“This isn’t about scaremongering or selling
systems,” said Bruce Donald, UK Sales Manager at SimonsVoss. “It’s about giving venues a simple way to identify potential gaps and begin making changes before the law makes it a requirement.”
Martyn’s Law applies to venues where 200+ people may gather and introduces clear obligations to protect the public from the risk of terrorism. It will be overseen by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and is expected to be fully enforceable within the next 18–24 months.
While Martyn’s Law encompasses a range of preparedness factors - including evacuation procedures, staff training, and risk assessments - this survey focusses specifically on internal access control, an area where SimonsVoss, along with its integration partners, offers deep expertise and proven solutions.
SimonsVoss is known for its work with leading sporting venues, including Northampton Saints Rugby Club, helping them move from traditional
locking to intelligent access control across multiple zones.
The new survey is now open and free to complete. Respondents will
