Understand what Martyn's Law means for each property.
Saber Intel helps organisations assess premises, understand applicable requirements, organise supporting evidence and manage preparedness actions within the property record — while maintaining oversight across the wider estate.

From legislation to property action
Martyn's Law creates premises-specific responsibilities. Saber Intel helps turn those responsibilities into a manageable property record.
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 introduces duties for certain publicly accessible premises and qualifying events. Saber Intel provides a structured way to connect scope assessment, responsibility, evidence, preparedness and follow-up.
01 — Understanding scope
A tiered framework based primarily on the number of people reasonably expected to be present.
Under the current statutory guidance, qualifying premises generally enter the standard tier from 200 people and the enhanced tier from 800 people, subject to the Act's other scope conditions and specific exceptions.
Places of worship and certain childcare, primary, secondary and further education premises have special treatment and remain standard tier where they meet the 200-person threshold, even if 800 or more people may be present.
This website provides product information, not legal advice. Organisations should assess the Act and current Home Office/SIA guidance against their own circumstances.
Enhanced duty premises
Generally 800+ peopleEnhanced premises have additional duties, including appropriate public protection measures and documented compliance. Qualifying events are treated in line with enhanced-tier requirements.
02 — A property-centred preparedness model
Premises → Applicability → Tier → Requirements → Evidence → Preparedness → Actions → Oversight
Saber Intel provides a structured path from identifying the premises through to understanding what needs to be evidenced, reviewed and acted upon.

03 — Martyn's Law capability
Organise the information required to understand and manage preparedness.
Saber Intel connects the legislation to the property information, evidence and responsibilities already managed within the platform.
Premises assessment
Capture the property characteristics and relevant information used to assess whether premises may fall within scope.
Tier & applicability
Record the outcome of the premises assessment and the basis for the current classification.
Responsible person
Connect the relevant responsible person and, where applicable, senior individual to the premises record.
Preparedness evidence
Connect procedures, plans, policies, training records and other supporting documents to the property.
Preparedness status
Understand which requirements have supporting evidence and where information or procedures need review.
Follow-up & ownership
Turn identified gaps into owned actions and maintain an auditable record of progress.
04 — Premises preparedness view
See the preparedness position of the property in one place.
Instead of treating Martyn's Law as a standalone questionnaire, Saber Intel connects the assessment to the property, its responsible parties, source evidence and outstanding actions.
The example shown is illustrative only and does not represent a legal determination for any real premises.

- Supporting documents are connected to the premises record for review and traceability.
05 — Portfolio preparedness
Move from “is this property prepared?” to “what is our position across the estate?”
For organisations responsible for many properties, the greater challenge is maintaining a consistent view of assessments, classifications, evidence and actions across the portfolio.
Saber Intel allows portfolio teams to identify which premises may be in scope, which assessments are outstanding and where preparedness actions require attention.

06 — Connected across Saber Intel
Martyn's Law is not another isolated module.
The capability becomes stronger because it uses the same connected property intelligence already supporting security, documents, compliance, people and portfolio oversight.
Property IntelligenceDefines the premises and provides the permanent property context.
People & OrganisationsConnects responsible persons, senior individuals and relevant organisations.
Saber VaultHolds supporting procedures, plans, policies, records and documentary evidence.
Compliance IntelligenceConnects requirements, evidence, status, responsibility and actions.
Security IntelligenceAdds operational security context and relevant incident history.
Portfolio IntelligenceProvides estate-wide preparedness and exception oversight.
07 — Current regulatory position
Built around the Act — without pretending software replaces legal responsibility.
The Security Industry Authority is the regulator for Martyn's Law. The Act received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025, and substantive requirements are not yet in force as of 1 September 2026.
Current SIA material says Martyn's Law is expected to come into force from spring 2027. Organisations remain responsible for determining whether their premises or events are in scope and for complying with the legislation when its duties commence.
