Security Systems: What You Need to Know

When it comes to your business, having a reliable security system is a vital component of maintaining your peace of mind and safety. Security systems provide protection from intruders whilst helping to deter crime against your business - having a properly installed security access system can save you thousands.

Key Components Of Effective Security Systems

There are five components to an effective commercial security system, which include:

• A commercial monitoring solution: When an alarm is triggered in your building, a dedicated security monitoring company will assess your alarm and respond appropriately, meaning you don’t have to.
• A security access system: Whether you choose physical, hosted or electronic, security access systems mean you can manage who has access to different parts of your building.
• A CCTV system: Having a comprehensive video surveillance system 
• Safety glass: Not only can toughened glass protect building occupants from injury, but safety glass can protect your building from intruders trying to enter your building through force.
• A fire safety system: Aside from being required by law, having a robust fire safety system can prevent your building from being compromised by fire damage.

If your business security system has all five components, you can be confident that your building, employees and customers are protected while on your premises.
  

Why Security Systems Are Vital To Your Business

Protect Your Business Assets

If your business houses physical stock or you have expensive equipment on your premises, having stringent security systems in place means that you can monitor and protect your assets from theft or vandalism. 

Security Systems Are A Deterrent

Sometimes, the presence of a security system is enough to deter somebody from damaging or stealing from your business. If your security systems are visible and clearly advertised, that tends to be enough to prevent potential security threats from occurring. 

Not only does this prevent a financial loss, but it also offers a layer of confidence in a security system's safety.

Employee Protection

As an employer, it is important that your employees feel safe, and a security system can give them the confidence that they are safe at work. Your most significant assets are often your employees, so investing in their safety is paramount.

Prevent Unwanted Visitors With Security Access

Most criminals will target businesses that appear easy to gain access to. By having a security access system in place, you can monitor who you allow into your building, making it much harder for unauthorised people to enter.

Direct Monitoring For Peace Of Mind, 24/7

No matter if you’re at work during the day, or it’s the middle of the night, having an external security company monitoring your security systems gives you peace of mind that your business is protected and professionals will deal with any security issues.

Lower Your Insurance Premiums

Many insurers demand some security systems in place, but by having an up-to-date and comprehensive security system, you can enjoy lower insurance premiums, boosting your business’s bottom line. 

Having a security system installed for your business is a necessity and should be viewed as one of the most important parts of ensuring that your business, customers and staff are safe. Take a look at our security systems, and get in touch to discuss your requirements using the form below.
