What Sets Vitessa Vault Apart
Vitessa Vault provides a discreet, professional approach to safeguarding your most valuable possessions.
Our purpose-built facility in Oakwood, North London has been designed specifically for secure storage, combining advanced security systems with carefully managed access procedures.
Every element of the environment, from vault construction to client access, is structured to support privacy, control and protection.
As an independent safe deposit centre, we offer greater flexibility and personal service than traditional banking facilities, giving clients confidence that their valuables are stored securely, professionally and with complete discretion.
Security Key Features
Grade 9 High-Security Vault
Our Grade 9 high-security vault is designed to exceed industry standards for the secure storage of valuables. Housed within a former NatWest bank branch, the building has been structurally reinforced with additional steel and concrete to enhance protection.
Multiple layers of physical security are built into the vault environment, providing a highly controlled and resilient space for storing important documents, jewellery, precious metals and other high-value items.
On-Site Security Guards
Our facility benefits from an on-site security presence, providing an additional human layer of protection alongside our electronic security systems.
This combined approach ensures the building and vault environment remain carefully monitored, supporting a secure and controlled setting for clients accessing their safe deposit boxes.
Advanced Biometric Access Control System
State-of-the-art biometric technology ensures that only authorised individuals can access our secure areas, with fingerprint and facial recognition systems providing dual authentication.
24/7 Monitored Security Systems
The premises are protected by round-the-clock monitored security systems, including advanced CCTV coverage and professional alarm monitoring.
These systems are designed to detect and respond to potential threats promptly, supporting continuous protection of the building and vault environment.
Cutting-Edge Alarm Systems
Our alarm systems incorporate multiple layers of protection, including seismic detection technology designed to identify unusual movement or interference.
All systems are integrated into a monitored security network, helping ensure rapid response in the event of an alert and reinforcing the overall security of the facility.
Dual-Key Security System
Each safe deposit box operates on a dual-key system, requiring both the client’s key and a vault key held by authorised staff.
This ensures that access to a safe deposit box is only possible when the client is present, providing an additional safeguard and reinforcing privacy and control at every visit.
