We understand as a business it is difficult to keep security in check when you become short of staff or when the workplace becomes vacant for several days. We have listed a few tips you could use to take advantage of security before the holidays.
1. BCP
What is a ‘BCP’?
A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is a manuscript which details how a business will continue to manoeuvre in the case of an unexpected disruption of service. This is important for any business and is suggested to be created if there isn’t one in place. This would initially make sure that you have a Plan B if your current plan fails. Some of the aspects a BCP should include would be an impact analysis, business recovery, organisation, and training process.
2. Servicing Alarms
When was the last time you serviced your alarm systems?
The best way to know your business is safe and up to standard for the holidays is to service your alarm systems, allowing you to have peace of mind while you are away. Servicing your alarm systems are crucial to the safety of your business and employees. There have been many cases where people have left their businesses without checking their alarm systems to return the following day to find there has been a fire outbreak or a break-in. This could take a toll on your business potentially losing revenue.
3. CCTV’s
If you haven’t installed surveillance cameras at your place of work already it would be recommended to do it now. Most surveillance cameras in today’s age are backed up by the cloud resulting in cheaper running costs, with the benefit of accessing security footage anywhere if you’re connected to an internet source. Moreover, with Black Friday and Christmas around the corner, it would be the best time to pick yourself up a couple surveillance cameras.
4. Outsource your front desk for the holidays
We know it’s going to be difficult keeping your business operational during the holidays. What we’ve discovered what most companies do during times like these is outsourcing concierge and front desks remotely. We’ve seen this work in the past especially in lockdown where most companies streamlined their business to cut costs. Cost effective and reliable, lifting the weight off your shoulders allowing you to focus on spending time with your families.
5. Checking Locks
What most businesses forget to do sometimes is the checking of locks. Whether the locks physical or digital it is essential to check your locking systems on a regular basis, especially on such a big public holiday. At Clear Watch Security we highly suggest you double check on your security systems such as the locks on your doors windows making sure that your valuable assets are safe from any potential break-in or security breach.
