§ ABOUT
Sensing plane. Sibling to TicketWave.
TicketWave Witness is the physical-security sensing plane that sits next to TicketWave's decision plane. TicketWave decides who is allowed where, when, and on what basis. Witness senses what is actually happening at the perimeter — who walked in, where they went, whether the same person reappeared on a different camera ten minutes later.
Together they are unified physical security. Apart, they are each the strongest version of their own discipline.
§ FOUNDER
Founded by Jordan Gilbert.
Jordan is the founder of TicketWave (the decision plane) and Witness (the sensing plane). He's a Harvard-trained engineer, runs the day-to-day across both products, and is the only person you'll talk to during the pilot conversation.
That is, on purpose, a small operation. We'd rather take three buildings well than thirty buildings shallowly. The cohort of UK BTR + boutique-hotel + mid-market venue customers we're targeting numbers in the low thousands; the team is sized to that cohort, not to a Series B pitch deck.
§ EARLY
We are early. On purpose.
-
§ 01
No paid pilots yet
We've had pilot conversations with UK BTR operators and boutique-hotel groups. None have signed yet. We won't claim shipped customers we don't have — the same template-not-claims framing we use across the wider network.

§ 02
ICO ZA-registration in progress
The Information Commissioner's Office data-controller registration is filed; we'll publish the ZA number on the security page on issuance.

§ 03
DSPT v8 alignment, not certification
Our control mappings are built for v8. We are not yet a DSPT-assessed organisation in our own right — that audit happens after the first paid pilot completes. The 30 June 2026 deadline applies to our customers; our own assessment follows on the same cycle.

§ 04
Headcount: one
Single-founder operation today. We'll grow with the first three buildings, not before. If the cadence of your DPO reviews requires a 200-person vendor, we are not yet that vendor.
§ WHY NOW
June 2026 is the right month.
The Data Security and Protection Toolkit v8 becomes mandatory on 30 June 2026 for our buyer cohort. The ICO has tightened its facial-recognition posture across three decisions in the last 18 months. UK BTR operators are finally large enough to centralise security operations across multiple buildings. The Sense vs Witness brand decision (which is to say: are we sensing-plane or are we witness-as-name) settled in our favour the same week the Companies House filing window opens.
The combined picture is: a regulatory deadline, a sympathetic regulator, a maturing operator cohort, and a decision-plane sibling that already has the customer conversation open. We'd rather start now than wait for the shape of all four to drift.
