The team behind
the
one-way connection
dbr is an engineering company, not a software vendor with a monitoring add-on. We designed the hardware-enforced architecture ourselves, and we hold every client to the same non-negotiable principle: no data path back into your systems, ever.
Engineers first
dbr’s team carries over 50 years of combined experience in hardware design, data analytics, and industrial applications. That depth is what lets us take on the systems other monitoring vendors won’t touch — legacy controllers with no native connectivity, safety-critical equipment that can’t tolerate any risk of interference, estates spread across multiple sites and sectors.
We built BusByte, our air-gapped collection architecture, in-house with our technology partner in2detail. It’s the same engineering that underpins every dbr deployment, from a single gas detection network to a multi-site building management estate.

We also work with a small number of specialist delivery partners, including Technik IMS and in2detail — see our partners →
Built around your systems
Every dbr deployment starts with the same question: what do you need visibility of, and what can never be put at risk to get it? From there, we build a solution around your systems — not the other way round.
We work directly with your IT and facilities teams to confirm the architecture meets your security requirements before anything is installed. Most pilots are live within 48 hours of hardware going in.
Principles our customers can hold us to
Honesty and transparency
Clear communication with clients, partners, and staff, built on straightforward answers rather than sales positioning.
Social responsibility
We hold ourselves to the same standard we ask of our supply chain — ethical, accountable, and built on trust.
Diversity and respect
We work with staff, suppliers, and clients from a wide range of backgrounds, and we think that range is part of what makes the engineering better.
Environmental responsibility
We look for ways to reduce the environmental impact of what we build and how we deploy it.

Whatever you run, we already know how to see it
A station, a ward, a plant room, a tower block — one live dashboard, streamed out over a one-way channel enforced by hardware.
