Banks and Financial Institutions
Banks and Financial Institutions
Banks, microfinance organizations, depositories, cash collection centers, and currency exchange offices require an uncompromising level of technical security. Financial sector facilities are classified as high-risk and are subject to strict regulation by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and law enforcement agencies.
The Smart Security engineering and technical ecosystem for the financial sector is a fault-tolerant, enterprise-level infrastructure that integrates multi-zone access control, intelligent video surveillance with facial recognition, high-reliability intrusion alarms (Grade 3 / Grade 4), secure cabling networks, and server room monitoring.
Smart Security designs, implements, and maintains certified turnkey security systems for bank branches, headquarters, vaults, and ATM networks throughout Ukraine in accordance with the requirements of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and DSTU EN.

Key Security Challenges in the Financial Sector
Security for depositories, vaults, and cash centers: Preventing unauthorized access to areas where cash and valuables are stored through the use of access control systems, biometrics, and multi-factor authentication.
Compliance with the requirements of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and the Security Police: installation of security alarm systems and panic buttons with redundant communication channels (GSM/Ethernet/radio) and connection to a central monitoring station.
Video recording and detailed tracking of cash register transactions: highly detailed recording of cashiers’ actions, cash counting, and recognition of visitors’ faces and license plate numbers of cash-in-transit vehicles (ANPR).
Business Continuity and Cyber-Physical Security: Protection of server rooms and data centers; monitoring of environmental conditions, water leaks, and fires; and protection of structured cabling networks against physical tampering.
Security of ATM networks and terminals: protection against physical tampering, skimming, arson, and vibration using specialized sensors and cameras.
Comprehensive technical solutions for banks and financial institutions
We build a secure environment using equipment from global leaders (Hikvision, Dahua, Honeywell, Satel, Bosch, ZKTeco, Cisco, APC):
1. Intelligent IP Video Surveillance (CCTV / AI Analytics)
Cashier Service Area: High-resolution (4K) cameras focused on the areas where bills are counted and cash is dispensed.
Entrance area and operating rooms: facial recognition analytics for cross-checking against blacklists, identifying suspicious individuals, and preventing fraud.
24/7 ATM Area: Round-the-clock video surveillance with built-in audio detection analysis (detection of screams, impacts, and break-in noises).
2. Multi-level access control and management systems (ACMS)
Airlock booths and door interlocking: automatic access control to depository areas and teller counters (the next door opens only after the previous one has closed).
Biometric authentication: access via palm veins, fingerprints, or 3D facial scanning with anti-spoofing protection (Live Face Detection).
The “two-person” rule: Access to the depository or vault is permitted only when two authorized employees are present at the same time.
3. High-end security alarm systems (Grade 3 / Grade 4)
Security for safes and vaults: seismic sensors for safes, explosion sensors, optoelectronic detectors, and tilt detectors.
Duplicate emergency pedals and buttons (KTV): discreet buttons under cashiers’ counters and mobile key fobs carried by staff for instantly summoning the Security Police.
4. SCS, Network Infrastructure, and Data Center Security
Shielded cable systems (Cat 6A / Cat 7 FTP/SFTP): protection of data against electromagnetic interference and unauthorized physical connections.
Physical access control for server racks: biometric locks on the racks, monitoring of temperature, humidity, and smoke, and liquid leak sensors.
Benefits of Partnering with Smart Security
Full compliance with regulatory requirements: system design in accordance with NBU Resolutions No. 93 and No. 141, DSTU EN 50131 (Security Systems), and DBN V.2.2-9.
Guaranteed fault tolerance: use of redundant power supplies (UPS) and dual central processing units in security systems.
Strict confidentiality policy (NDA): All Smart Security employees undergo security clearance, and project documentation is stored on encrypted media.
Rapid Response and SLA: 24/7 technical support and scheduled maintenance with a fixed response time for engineer visits.
Project implementation stages
Audit and inspection of the facility: examination of the architecture, categorization of premises by risk level, and analysis of vulnerabilities in the perimeter and cash handling area.
Development of a detailed project: drafting the technical specifications (TS) and project documentation in accordance with the requirements of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) and obtaining approval from regulatory authorities.
Installation and Commissioning: laying shielded cables, installing armored access control system components, cameras, alarm sensors, and server equipment.
Commissioning: conducting comprehensive tests of alarm scenarios (Fail-Safe / Fail-Secure), connecting to the Security Police Control Center.
Service support: regular maintenance, software updates, and prompt resolution of any malfunctions.
