Service 01
Secure Asset Custody
We protect business-critical technology assets in a controlled, secure environment.
Custody means accountability. Every asset is received, identified, secured and recorded — so protection is a system, not a hope.
What is Secure Asset Custody?
Secure Asset Custody is the service where a third party takes accountability for your technology hardware, not just floor space for it. MigStore receives each asset, records its identity and condition, holds it in a monitored environment and keeps it ready to deploy. Storage protects the box. Custody protects the asset and its record.
Service overview
Traditional storage rents you space and leaves the rest to you. Secure Asset Custody is different: MigStore takes responsibility for the asset itself — its identity, its condition, its location and its readiness.
Assets enter through controlled intake, are labelled and registered, and are held in a monitored, disciplined environment with structured access. You always know what is in custody, and in what state.
Every service here is one discipline of Technology Asset Custody, and the programme that holds them together is MigStore Vault™.

What custodyis not
| Common assumption | What we hold instead |
|---|---|
| Custody is storage with a nicer contract. | Storage is priced by the square metre and its responsibility ends at the door. Custody is priced by the record it maintains: intake, identity, condition, location, readiness. |
| Anything inside a locked building is secure. | A lock answers theft. It does not answer whether this is the right device, whether it still works, or whether it can ship tomorrow. Those answers need a record, checked as often as the door is. |
| Idle assets cost nothing. | Idle assets cost twice: once when they are bought, and again when a near-identical one is bought because nobody could find the first. |
What changes
- 01
Accountability from the first scan

Protection that is procedural, not incidental

A complete custody record per asset
- 04
Confidence that assets exist where records say they do
Who it’s for
Every engagement runs on the Technology Asset Custody lifecycle — receive, identify, secure, track, prepare, deploy, recover, optimise. See how the lifecycle works.
How an engagement starts
Four steps, in order. None of them need a system you do not already have.
- 01
Portfolio walk-through: what you own, what you suspect you own, and what has been drifting between sites.
- 02
Agree the asset classes and the record fields each one needs, such as serial, condition, status and home location.
- 03
Schedule intake. Assets arrive, are scanned and labelled, and the register builds as they land.
- 04
Define readiness: what counts as deployment-ready for each class, and who is allowed to call it.
