This critical function focuses on the protection, security, and integrity of the assets that back Central Ura and Central Cru as money. Central Ura Reserve Limited, along with its subsidiary entities, is responsible for implementing comprehensive measures to ensure that these assets are securely stored, properly accounted for, and safeguarded against a wide range of risks. Below is an in-depth look at the strategies and practices involved in Asset Safeguarding.
Physical Security

High-Security Vaults
Central Ura Reserve Limited employs high-security vaults for the storage of physical assets. These vaults are equipped with advanced security features, including biometric access controls, reinforced barriers, and 24/7 surveillance systems.

Access Control
Strict access control protocols are in place to ensure that only authorized personnel can access the reserve assets. This includes multi-layered verification processes, security clearances, and regular audits of access logs.

Disaster Recovery Plans
To safeguard against natural disasters, fire, or other catastrophic events, Reserve Management has developed comprehensive disaster recovery plans. These plans include off-site storage, fireproof vaults, and emergency response procedures to protect the physical assets.
Digital Security

Encryption
All digital data and electronic records are encrypted using the latest encryption technologies. This ensures that even if data is intercepted, it remains inaccessible and unreadable to unauthorized parties.

Cybersecurity Measures
Reserve Management employs a multi-layered cybersecurity strategy that includes firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and real-time monitoring of network activities. These measures are designed to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats in real-time.

Data Backup and Redundancy
Regular data backups are conducted to ensure that all digital records are securely stored and can be quickly restored in the event of a data breach or system failure. Redundant systems are in place to maintain continuity of operations and minimize the impact of any disruptions.
Asset Accountability

Comprehensive Record-Keeping
Detailed records are maintained for every asset within the reserve portfolio, including information on ownership, value, location, and security status. These records are updated in real-time to reflect any changes in the asset base.
