Corporate Security Best Practices
Regardless of what industry you work in, commercial security should be a priority for any business. By taking appropriate measures to protect your staff, customers, and equipment, you can provide peace of mind and create a secure future for your business. Even small business owners can easily implement the steps below.
Access Control
Certain parts of your building may contain valuable equipment or sensitive data. By limiting access to those areas with a keypad or fob system, you can ensure that only authorized individuals can enter sensitive rooms. Keep a record of who accessed and area and when for security reviews.
Security Presence
Having a professional security guard on-site can give employees and customers peace of mind and provide an extra layer of defense against potential threats. Security staff can patrol the facility, identify and intervene during suspicious activity, and even assist with controlling access to sensitive parts of your business.
Video Monitoring
Video monitoring can go a long way in enhancing your business’s security. Not only do security cameras deter potential thieves, but they also encourage honest behavior among employees.
Employee Training
Your employees are your greatest asset—but they can also become a security liability without adequate training. Make sure to implement and teach them certain strategies—such as removing cash from the register and placing it into a safe at the end of each business day. Don’t let them leave doors to the outside open when stepping out for a smoke or phone break.
