A security programme is usually let down in implementation rather than in specification. The features are sound and the integration is not.
Trace Core conducts technical audits, provides regulatory guidance and supports implementation, working with an institution to identify gaps and align its systems with evolving requirements. For security printers, that extends into production planning, quality assurance and the integration of overt and covert features — holograms, microtext, UV inks and serialisation — into a running print process.
The work is advisory and technical rather than commercial. Where a specification does not justify its cost, we say so.
