Summer Security Checklist for Your Business
As school lets out and warm weather sets in, more mischief takes the place of winter. Prepare your business with Sonitrol’s business security summer checklist. Here are 8 ways to protect your business this summer:
Summer Security Checklist for Your Business
- Eliminate Hiding Places. Take a walk around your business and ensure that all windows and doors are clear of potential hiding places.
- Utilize an Access Control System. Protect your business’ valuables and sensitive data by utilizing an access control system by tracking who goes in and out of your facility.
- Leave a Light on. Ensure that your business has proper lighting at night on the inside and outside, near the sidewalks and entry points.
- Video Camera Security System. Capture high definition video of critical areas in your facilities, to obtain the evidence to identify someone who gains unauthorized access and/or who commits a crime.
- Educate Employees. Instruct your employees, including janitorial staff, to follow daily opening and closing procedures as to not trip alarms during non-business hours.
- Be a Gatekeeper. Do not allow multiple suppliers and service providers to have open access to your facilities.
- Train Accordingly. Be aware of holiday-related false alarms due to untrained seasonal or temporary help, as well as carelessness due to long hours or office parties.
- Secure Valuables. A majority of thieves seek out cash and valuables that are easy to grab quickly and carry on themselves. Keeping cash-on-hand to a minimum is a highly effective and widespread business practice.
