University of Oxford bolstered security at COVID-19 research facility and vaccine trial site
The COVID-19 Oxford Vaccine Trial is run by the University of Oxford's Jenner Institute and the Oxford Vaccine Group clinical teams. The trial and research center is conducted in collaboration with multiple study sites across the UK and internationally, including a temporary research installation on the University grounds.
The organization knew it needed tight security surrounding the facility to mitigate risk and ensure the safety of staff and assets. Leaders within the University recommended First Response Group (FRG) after they had used the company's security resources on campus during the first national lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
