Case Study: Capital Vaults

The Challenge

Capital Vaults sought a secure, automated alternative to conventional safe deposit boxes for a high-security casino site in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The goal was to provide clients with discreet, round-the-clock access to their valuables, without the need for staff involvement, while maintaining the highest standards of physical protection.

The Solution

Gunnebo Safe Storage partnered with Capital Vaults to install the SafeStore Auto Maxi, an advanced automated safe deposit system. The solution was seamlessly integrated within a certified EN 1143-1 Grade VII vault, ensuring robust security and compliance with international standards for burglary resistance.

The SafeStore Auto Maxi operates entirely within a certified strong room, remaining closed and secure at all times. Multi-layered authentication, including a proprietary six-eye protocol, ensures only authorised users can access their safety deposit lockers. The vault is isolated from external networks and does not require an internet connection, reducing the risk of hacking or data breaches.

Located within the broader security perimeter of a major entertainment complex, the site benefits from constant surveillance, controlled entry and exit points, and on-site security teams. Customers enjoy complete privacy inside the private suite where their locker is delivered.

The Benefits

• 24/7 access to valuables without staff interaction

• Highest level of physical protection in a certified Grade VII vault

• Multi-layered identity verification and proprietary six-eye protocol

• Vault isolated from external networks for enhanced cyber security

• Complete privacy and discretion for customers

• Items commonly stored include jewellery, documents, luxury watches, precious metals, digital wallets, and family heirlooms

Through a close partnership, we combined our SafeStore Auto technology with a certified high-security vault to deliver 24/7 access in a secure environment.”

The OutCome

The successful installation at the casino complex demonstrates how advanced vault technology can be adapted to local requirements while meeting international certifications. As demand for private secure storage grows, Gunnebo Safe Storage expects similar solutions to play an increasing role in providing individuals with peace of mind and uninterrupted access to their most valuable possessions.
