1. Marking
Items of value – vehicles, computers, mobile phones, MP3 players, bicycles, Home Cinema systems, power tools . . . in fact any personal property that could be lost or stolen – are permanently and visibly marked with an unique security code as well as the 24/7 contact telephone number of the International Security Register (ISR).

2. Registration
The ISR is a secure database, owned and operated exclusively by Retainagroup. It holds accurate details of ownership and other specific data – such as vehicle key security codes – for a wide range of marked property. The ISR currently holds information on over 9 million vehicles, 27 million security codes and over 1 million valuable assets.

3. Verification
Operating 24 hours a day, every day of the year, Retainagroup’s Global Security Gateway enables anyone – the general public, businesses, police and security forces – to instantly verify ownership of property listed on the Register with just one phone call to the ISR contact number. The ISR also operates a highly secure service for maintaining and providing to authorised parties under strict protocols, other highly sensitive information, such as vehicle security codes.

The System at a glance
Using simple but technically sophisticated marking techniques linked to a secure Register, the Retainagroup system makes every item of marked / registered property instantly identifiable and ownership immediately verifiable with just one phone call to the ISR. This not only deters theft and detects cloning, it also increases significantly the rate of recovery.
