BSIA member Hirsch UK is proud to announce that it has won the prestigious Security Hardware Product Innovation of the Year award at the 2025 Security & Fire Excellence Awards for its groundbreaking hatchmonitoring solution HatchSecure.

HatchSecure was created to solve real-world challenges in protecting high-risk assets, and this award is a powerful testament to the hard work, dedication and innovation invested by the Hirsch UK design and development team.

“We’re absolutely thrilled and honoured to receive this award,” said Adam O’Reilly, Perimeter Director at Hirsch UK. “HatchSecure was born out of a commitment to deliver next-generation security solutions for the most demanding, high-risk environments. This recognition validates the countless hours the team has invested in its design, testing and deployment.”

 Richard Huison, Managing Director of Hirsch UK, added: “Winning this award is a huge milestone for us and underlines how seriously we take innovation, reliability and delivering real value to our customers.”

 HatchSecure is NPSA rated and designed specifically for deployment on Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and other high-security sites. Its advanced multi-sensor architecture delivers precise detection of tilt, vibration, impact, cutting and other forms of attack, while offering seamless integration to front end PSIM systems as well as existing IDS architectures. Engineered for rapid installation, simple maintenance, and long-term robustness, HatchSecure supports secure operations without causing disruption.

Installations have included remote access hatches, underground chambers, water and wastewater network assets, and power infrastructure enclosures. Thanks to its flexible mounting options and minimal wiring requirements, HatchSecure allows operators to deploy reliable security protection rapidly, even in challenging environments where access time is limited and downtime must be avoided.
