6 Security Must Haves for your Office

It is unfor­tu­nate when crimes hap­pen in the work place, but it hap­pens every day. In order to catch a crim­i­nal oper­at­ing inside of your busi­ness, you’ll need to have some secu­ri­ty fea­tures in place to help make the task eas­i­er.

Alarm sys­tems and cam­eras are a great way to find out who the per­pe­tra­tor is in your place of busi­ness, but there are much more ways to catch crime.

What are addi­tion­al secu­ri­ty mea­sures you can take to pro­tect your busi­ness dur­ing oper­at­ing hours?

1. Install key-card access secu­ri­ty sys­tems on all appro­pri­ate doors.
2. Issue work ID badges con­tain­ing infor­ma­tion about the employ­ee includ­ing their pho­to, job descrip­tion, and badge num­ber.
3. Mas­ter keys should be hid­den from employ­ees who do not need one for their dai­ly job activ­i­ties.
4. Install Hi-Secu­ri­ty locks.
5. Always keep your office space tidy so that you can iden­ti­fy strange peo­ple or objects that do not belong.
6. Make sure you have an alter­na­tive com­mu­ni­ca­tion sys­tem such as a two-way radio in the event of tele­phone fail­ure.
7. Invest in secure fil­ing cab­i­nets to keep doc­u­ments con­tain­ing per­son­al infor­ma­tion safe.
8. Add a Cam­era Sys­tem to mon­i­tor activ­i­ty in cur­rent time, record activ­i­ty when you are not there, and view in remote­ly via smart­phone or com­put­er.

Con­sid­er Remote Mon­i­tor­ing

Nowa­days, many com­pa­nies opt to uti­lize a remote alarm mon­i­tor­ing sys­tem. This is less expen­sive than in-house mon­i­tor­ing and allows the busi­ness lead­ers more time to take care of more impor­tant oblig­a­tions. If some­thing needs to be brought to their atten­tion they will be noti­fied so any urgent issues can be han­dled as soon as pos­si­ble.

There are many things most busi­ness­es do after-hours to pro­tect their com­pa­nies, like turn on alarms and keep all entrance doors locked, but that doesn’t pre­vent them from run­ning into trou­ble dur­ing office hours. Whether you run a store where you keep a cash reg­is­ter on hand or you have an office that hous­es expen­sive elec­tron­ic equip­ment like mul­ti­ple com­put­ers, it’s impor­tant to go the extra mile to pro­tect your com­pa­ny!
