With 2020 firmly behind us, now may be the time that you are considering your commercial security plan and how the potential benefits of upgrading your security system could yield for your business.
This article will explore our top tips that you should know when it’s time to upgrade your commercial security system.
The Time To Upgrade
There’s no denying that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all businesses over the past year. While it’s always a good idea to regularly review your security system, the events of 2020 have highlighted many issues to business owners— such as the inability to monitor their premises through their CCTV system remotely. Here’s just a few questions that you need to ask yourself when considering a security system upgrade:
- Have there been any significant changes to your business recently?
- Have you opened a location or perhaps a new building?
- Has your company suffered any thefts over the past year?
- Have you made a significant investment in new technology or equipment?
- When was your current security system installed?
- When was the last time your security system was maintained?
Security Upgrades That You Should Consider
There’s a lot of security systems that can add significant benefits to your organisation. It’s natural to feel a little overwhelmed, and therefore it’s always important to speak with a trusted and accredited security provider to get the very best from your security system. Here are a few of our tips to consider:
- Consider Access Control. It may be necessary that you need to grant access to some employees to specific areas of your building but not too all. If this is the case, an access control system is just one recommendation we would make. Access control can link to your payroll systems too.
- Utilising Security Systems. As COVID-19 restrictions continue to be in place, having a security system that can help keep employees safe and conform to workplace policies can significantly improve health and safety.
- Security Audit. Speak to your accredited security provider about key recommendations on how you can improve security in your organisation.
- Security Camera Locations. You may have increased capacity or made changes to your building’s layout, therefore take a look at where your cameras are located to ensure your premises are fully protected. Consider external monitoring or our CCTV Healthcare package
These are just a few ways in which you can improve your commercial security strategy.
Your business’s needs and requirements will change over time, and therefore reviewing your security is a critical component in ensuring you remain safe and protected.
