FAQs
Are Unify technologies compliant with the Ministry of Justice and HMPPS standards?
Yes, all Unify custodial solutions are ISO27001 certified and designed to align with MoJ and HMPPS frameworks, ensuring full compliance with security, safety, and rehabilitation policies.
Can Unify systems be integrated into existing infrastructure?
Of course, our modular and flexible systems can be easily retrofitted on-site to any endpoint you desire, while guaranteeing minimal disruption and downtime.
How do Unify solutions contribute to prison safety and contraband prevention?
Our technologies, such as UMDS, actively locate and provide real-time data on mobile devices. While in cell systems reduce the need for movement, mitigating any associated risks.

Our easy-to-use systems open communication, reduce admin time, and enable controlled and live overviews for all staff, establishing more focus on safety and operational efficiency.
Is data or reporting available to help monitor system performance?
Absolutely. We ensure our platforms are integrated with live feeds, reporting, and historical data tools that help governors and staff identify trends and oversee facility operations.
What support is available during installation and beyond?
Our systems are built in-house to evolve with each facility, which is why we provide end-to-end project management, including installation, training, and ongoing support 24/7, 365 days a year.
What are Unify's Decarbonisation Commitments?
Unify are committed to playing our part in the transition to a carbon net zero economy by reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
As part of this commitment, we are aiming to transition our electricity consumption to renewable energy sources by 2030. This shift will significantly reduce our direct and energy-related emissions and support the growth of clean energy infrastructure.
Looking further ahead, we are committed to addressing our broader environmental impact by working to reduce our Scope 3 emissions—those arising across our value chain—by 2050. We recognise that achieving this goal requires collaboration with our suppliers, partners, and customers, and we will actively engage across our network to drive meaningful change.
We will track our progress, maintain transparency, and continuously seek opportunities to improve our environmental performance as we work toward these goals.
