Securing the perimeter for India’s Naval Bases

In a naval environment, perimeter security is mission-critical. It is not only about stopping threats. It is about enforcing SOPs, maintaining control under pressure, and giving commanders a single operational picture they can trust. Cidroy partnered with one of the largest naval bases in Asia to deliver a turnkey perimeter security and surveillance capability—integrating access control, screening hardware, biometrics, and real-time monitoring into one command-grade platform.

The context

In a naval environment, perimeter security is mission-critical. It is not only about stopping threats—it is about enforcing SOPs, maintaining control under pressure, and giving commanders a single operational picture they can trust.

Cidroy partnered with one of the largest naval bases in Asia to deliver a turnkey perimeter security and surveillance capability. The objective was to unify access control, screening infrastructure, biometrics, and real-time monitoring into a command-grade operational platform.

The base was operational and expanding, with approximately 40,000 personnel—including labour teams, contractors, and workers—moving daily through multiple entry points. While SOPs existed, execution was slowed by fragmented checkpoints and lack of centralized command visibility.

The challenge

Secure multiple high-throughput gates without compromising SOPs or discipline
Long processing times due to manual coordination and disconnected systems
Fragmented screening infrastructure (UVSS, baggage scanners, DFMDs) with no unified control view
Limited centralized visibility for officers and commanders
Identity verification gaps leading to paper-driven and manual checks
Delayed response to incidents due to scattered alerts and evidence

The CIDROY Solution

Cidroy implemented CWMS as a mission-critical, turnkey command platform for perimeter operations—engineered to align with naval SOPs, gate layouts, and command hierarchy.

Centralized command dashboards for live visibility across all entry and exit points
Unified integration of UVSS, baggage scanners, and DFMD checkpoints
Multi-biometric authentication using facial recognition and fingerprints
Real-time surveillance with event correlation across identity, screening, and movement
Vision-based anomaly detection with automated, role-based alerts
Emergency operational controls for rapid restriction, shutdown, and controlled movement
Digital audit trails for compliance, traceability, and incident reconstruction

The system unified existing and new infrastructure into one coherent operational layer, rather than adding disconnected tools.

How We Delivered Value

Throughput improvement: processing time for 1,000 personnel reduced from 30–40 minutes to ~5 minutes
Productivity regained: reduced waiting and manual coordination across daily operations
Centralized command visibility: a single operational view for commanders across gates, screening, identity, and incidents
Stronger security posture: biometric verification and correlated screening reduced ambiguity
Faster response: real-time alerts enabled quicker intervention and disciplined escalation
Digitized perimeter governance: audit-ready records improved accountability and post-incident analysis

Strategic Takeaway

Perimeter security in naval environments is a control problem, not a device problem.
This engagement succeeded because Cidroy delivered one integrated, command-grade platform—aligned to SOPs, interoperable with OEM systems, and reliable under real operational load.

The outcome was not more hardware, but decisive control, speed, and trust in execution.
