The Moment Most Security Systems Ignore
A piece is often at its most vulnerable the moment it leaves the wall — between a home and a gallery, a storage facility and an exhibition, or one venue and another. ArtworkSecurity coordinates the security side of that movement, so protection doesn’t stop at your front door.
Security Planning for Movement, Not Just Premises
We plan the security requirements around a piece’s transit — secure handover procedures, tracked transport, and coordination with your existing security systems at both ends of the journey.
Our Secure Transit & Transport Coordination Services Include:
- Transit Risk Assessment: Identifying where a piece is most exposed during a move, and planning around it.
- GPS-Tracked Transport Coordination: Working with secure transport providers and tracking movement in real time.
- Secure Handover Procedures: Documented, verified handover points between venues, storage and transport.
- Exhibition & Loan Security Planning: Coordinating security requirements when a piece goes on loan or into a temporary exhibition.
- Departure & Arrival Security Checks: Confirming security measures are actually in place at both ends before a piece moves.
Why Transit Security Is Often the Gap
A collection can be superbly protected at home and still be exposed the moment it’s in a van, a loading dock, or between two venues. We don’t move the art ourselves — we make sure the security planning around that movement is actually there, working alongside your logistics provider.
Benefits of Proper Transit Coordination
Continuity, Not a Gap
Security that’s thorough at both ends but absent in between still leaves a real gap. Proper transit coordination closes it.
