28–30 April 2026 | NEC Birmingham | Stand 5/H105
Soloinsight at The Security Event 2026 marks the company's first major appearance on the European stage, and it arrives at exactly the right moment. Physical access execution has been consolidated for years. What European security leaders are now confronting is the question that execution systems were never built to answer: who should have access, under what policy, for how long, and with what audit-grade evidence to prove it? That is the Physical Identity Governance problem. That is what CloudGate solves.
If you are attending The Security Event at NEC Birmingham this April, Stand 5/H105 is where that conversation starts.
What Is The Security Event, and Why Is Soloinsight There?
The Security Event is Europe's leading commercial, enterprise, and domestic security exhibition. It brings together more than 17,500 security professionals across three days, including CSOs, security directors, facilities managers, integrators, consultants, and enterprise end users from across the UK and Europe.
For Soloinsight, this is the right room. The audience arriving at NEC Birmingham is actively evaluating what comes after basic access control. They are under pressure from regulators, boards, and auditors to demonstrate that physical access decisions are policy-driven, documented, and defensible. That is precisely the mandate that CloudGate was built to address.
Physical access execution is not the problem. Most organizations already have it. What they lack is the governance control plane that sits above it: the layer that defines who should have access, enforces that policy continuously, and preserves the decision lineage that compliance and accountability demands.
What You Will See at Stand 5/H105
Soloinsight at The Security Event 2026: The Governance Control Plane in Action
The CloudGate platform is not another access control product. It is the system of record for Physical Identity Governance. It governs who is physically present, why, under what policy, and with audit-grade evidence across every site, every identity type, and every execution system already in place.
At Stand 5/H105, the Soloinsight team will walk visitors through live scenarios built around the problems that European security leaders are dealing with right now.
1. The Audit Question
When a regulator, an insurer, or a board member asks who had access to a restricted area on a given date, under what policy, and whether that access was still appropriate at the time, can your current stack answer that question in minutes? Not hours, not days. Minutes. CloudGate is built so the answer is always ready. Audit-grade decision lineage, continuous enforcement, and a single source of truth across all governed identities and locations.
2. Identity Lifecycle Governance: From Day One to Day Done
Every organization deals with the joiner, mover, and leaver cycle. New employees, contractors, vendors, temporary staff, and third-party service providers are constantly cycling through sites. The access permissions associated with these identities need to stay aligned to policy as people onboard, change roles, move between locations, or exit. Without a governance control plane, that alignment breaks down fast. CloudGate closes that gap.
3. Contractor, Vendor, and Third-Party Access That Is Actually Governed
Third-party identities are one of the most common and under-addressed access risk vectors in enterprise environments. Maintenance crews, IT vendors, catering contractors, and service providers frequently hold access that was issued for a short engagement and never revoked. CloudGate brings structured, time-bound, policy-driven governance to every third-party identity, across every site, without adding administrative load.
4. Governing Above Your Existing PACS Stack
Lenel, CCure, Genetec, and other physical access control systems execute access decisions. They were built to answer "did the door open?" CloudGate sits above them and answers the questions they were never designed to answer: should it have opened, for that person, at that time, under that policy, with that credential? This is not a rip-and-replace conversation. CloudGate governs above your existing infrastructure without displacing it.
5. Modern Credential Governance: From Plastic Cards to Mobile Wallets
The physical card is no longer the right primitive for governing identity at scale. It is expensive to issue, difficult to track, and slow to revoke when risk changes. CloudGate supports mobile credentials across Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet, so organisations can govern credential issuance, active status, and revocation as part of the same identity lifecycle that governs access policy. When an employee changes roles, loses clearance, or exits the organisation, the credential is addressed as part of a single governed event, not a separate administrative task. For security leaders managing large, dynamic workforces across multiple sites, mobile credential governance is not a convenience upgrade. It is a risk reduction.
6. Cyber-Physical Convergence: One Control Plane for Physical and Digital Identity
Physical access decisions and digital identity are no longer separate concerns. Data center access, server room entry, and network infrastructure spaces sit at the intersection of physical and cyber risk. CloudGate connects to enterprise identity systems like Active Directory, Okta, and Workday, so physical access stays in sync with digital identity as the workforce changes. Security, IT, HR, Facilities, and Compliance work from the same operational truth.
7. Compliance Without the Scramble
GDPR requires accountability and data minimization in how personal data is used to make access decisions. UK regulatory frameworks demand demonstrable control over who can access what, when, and why. Industry standards across healthcare, critical infrastructure, banking, and enterprise environments make access governance a board-level obligation. CloudGate turns compliance readiness from a seasonal scramble into a continuous operational capability.
Who Should Visit Stand 5/H105?
The conversation at Stand 5/H105 is built for security directors and CSOs who are being asked to demonstrate policy-driven access governance at scale. It is built for CIOs and IT leaders who are navigating the convergence of physical and digital identity. It is built for compliance and risk officers who need audit-grade evidence on demand. And it is built for facilities and operations leaders managing large, dynamic workforces across multiple sites.
If your organization runs on Lenel, CCure, Genetec, or any major PACS platform, and you are still managing identity and access policy manually, with spreadsheets, disparate systems, or ticket-driven processes, the question to ask is simple: when the auditor asks who had access and why, what does your answer look like?
CloudGate makes that answer clear, fast, and defensible every time.
The Right Category for the Right Moment
The physical security industry has done an excellent job consolidating execution. The next decade belongs to the organizations that establish governance authority above that execution layer. Okta did not replace directories. It became the governance authority above them. ServiceNow did not replace ticketing tools. It became the system of record for IT operations. CloudGate is doing the same for physical identity.
Soloinsight at The Security Event 2026 is the beginning of that conversation in Europe.
