Cortech & Fortecho: Smarter Security for Museums & Galleries

For museums, galleries, and corporate collections, protecting high-value assets isn’t just about security — it’s about preserving history, culture, and investment. As threats become more sophisticated, institutions require smarter, more proactive solutions to safeguard their collections.

That’s why Cortech Developments and Fortecho Solutions have joined forces, integrating Datalog with Fortecho’s RFID asset tracking. This partnership delivers unparalleled asset protection, ensuring paintings, sculptures, artifacts, and corporate valuables remain secure while enhancing operational efficiency. 

Addressing Sector-Specific Security Challenges 

Museums & Galleries:
Theft and unauthorised movement of artifacts pose a serious risk. Many institutions rely on static security systems, which often fail to detect subtle movements or unauthorised access. The Cortech-Fortecho integration provides real-time monitoring, alerting security teams the moment an artwork is moved—before it leaves the premises. 

Corporate Collections:
High-value corporate assets, from rare artworks to confidential prototypes, need continuous monitoring. With Datalog and Fortecho, organisations gain a single security interface, reducing response time to security breaches and ensuring compliance with asset protection policies. 

How the Integration Transforms Asset Protection

  • RFID-Enabled Asset Tracking – Fortecho’s active RFID tags continuously monitor asset locations, detecting any unauthorised movement.
  • Instant Security Alerts – Datalog automatically raises alarms the moment an object moves outside pre-defined parameters, ensuring rapid intervention.
  • Streamlined Security Operations – No need to juggle multiple systems. Security teams can monitor and respond to threats from a single, centralised platform.
  • Regulatory & Insurance Compliance – The ability to generate detailed audit trails helps institutions meet the stringent requirements of insurers and governing bodies.

Real-World Impact: A Game-Changer for Museums & Galleries 

Recently, a leading national museum integrated the Cortech-Fortecho solution to protect a collection of rare paintings. Previously, security staff relied on manual patrols and CCTV, which only provided reactive monitoring. Now, with real-time tracking and intelligent alarms, unauthorised movement is detected instantly, reducing response times by over 50%.

One security director described the impact: “Before, we only found out something had been moved when it was too late. Now, we can track and respond in real time. The integration of Datalog and Fortecho has revolutionised how we protect our collection.”

For museums, galleries, and corporate collectors, this integration isn’t just about security — it’s about peace of mind.
