Safeguarding your Business Smartly

melbourne city locksmith - smart business security tips

In a commercial environment, building security is critical for protecting the occupants of the building and your property. It is vital to secure your business to protect your prized possessions which include your products and your business valuables in the safe.

If you are not careful, or if you do it yourself some elements of security can be overlooked or assumed which can lead to huge losses. Poor security and lack of facility like CCTV systems can be as bad as lack of security altogether.

So what can you do to safeguard your business and all of your treasured items inside your business premises?

Secure Your Entry Points

Most buildings have more than one entrance and exit. Sadly, securing all these entrances including emergency exits can sometimes be insufficient which is a huge security risk. All exterior doors need to be fitted with cameras and other monitoring devices. As much as possible get the best security video system. The fewer active entrances you have, the more secure your building will be. There is also the windows and the vent outlets to consider.

Lock up Valuables with High-end Security.

Put away your valuables in the safe or vault and expensive products in a room that has no window. An interior room in the centre of your business setting can be ideal for this purpose. The room must have a high-end security door with a keypad entry lock which only a limited number of trusted individuals in your company have access to.

Computer servers now qualify as a valuable. It can be very costly to replace one with all of the information on it and it has your customer and vendors information on it.

Brighten the Exteriors.

Security lighting is extremely important for a business. It is intended to deter or detect intrusions or other criminal activity on a property. It can also be used to increase a feeling of safety. Lighting is integral to crime prevention through environmental design.

It is especially so in the winter months when there are more hours of darkness each day. Your lighting needs to be effective in the parking lot of your business and near all of the cameras on the exterior that make up your security system. A CCTV with infrared lighting will be picked up by your security cameras, but it is not seen by the naked eye. This means that your security team that monitors your business can see the intruders but your intruders won’t realize it.

Surveillance Cameras. 

Loss prevention must be a top business priority. Having a surveillance system can help your business easily monitor customers in a store as well as employees that have access to products within the stores. If an incident occurs having a surveillance camera system can help you backtrack and get the pertinent information during the theft event.
