This proven technology has protected over 2 million items since 2005, with forensic evidence linking stolen items to owners through specialist detection equipment. The coding process creates an unbreakable chain of ownership for insurance and legal purposes.

Our comprehensive asset management portal enables digital documentation and tracking of valuable collections. The system integrates with the Stolen Asset Register for real-time theft alerts and provides detailed provenance records for insurance claims. Clients receive regular updates and security assessments for their protected items.

Our certified experts specialise in art, antiques, and high-value items, providing insurance-grade valuations that meet museum-standard documentation requirements for both private and corporate collections.

Questions
How does DNA security coding protect my valuables?
Our unique DNA formulation creates an invisible, permanent identifier on items that can only be detected with specialist equipment, providing irrefutable ownership evidence for law enforcement.
What happens if my coded item gets stolen?
All coded items appear in our Stolen Asset Register, which connects with police databases. The forensic coding provides admissible court evidence to support recovery and prosecution.
Can you value and secure existing collections?
Yes, our consultants assess existing collections for both market value and security needs, implementing coding systems and documentation without requiring item movement.
How do insurance services integrate with security coding?
Our insurance partners offer premium discounts for coded items, with streamlined claims processing using our forensic documentation and asset tracking systems.
What types of items can be protected?
We secure art, antiques, jewellery, ceramics, modern collectables and other high-value items using tailored coding solutions that preserve item integrity.
How do I access asset management services?
Clients receive login credentials for our secure portal to manage digital records, update collection details, and monitor security status of all coded items in real time.
