Whether you’re planning on closing down your business over the Christmas holidays, or you’re going to be open but perhaps with amended hours or limited staff, now’s the time to get your business premises security sorted for the new year. That way, you can come back in January and know that one task has been ticked off the to-do list. Putting the necessary business security solutions in place now will also mean that you can relax over the Christmas break, safe in the knowledge that your premises is as secure as possible. Here are some of the security solutions that you could introduce for a safe and hopefully successful new year.
CCTV and burglar alarms
If you haven’t already installed CCTV cameras and a burglar alarm at your premises, you should definitely get this sorted for the new year. These staples of business security will ensure that, if anyone tries to break into your building, you will know about it. Crucially, if a break-in occurs, you can give the authorities footage to help catch the person responsible.
Fire alarms
Natural disasters like fires can be hugely damaging to your business, so protecting your assets while the office is empty is essential. In terms of data, this means backing up files (ideally in the cloud). For physical assets (like computers) and paper records, this means installing fire alarms to ensure that the emergency services are notified as quickly as possible if a fire occurs at your business premises. It is also a good idea to have a plan in place so that, in the case of a fire or even a flood, everyone in the team knows what to do.
System maintenance
Your business’s security systems need to be regularly serviced and updated to make sure they’re operating as efficiently as possible. When it comes to burglar and fire alarms, this means thoroughly testing the system and its component parts, as well as any detectors that are located around the building. By investing in 24/7 maintenance for your security, you can relax in the knowledge that your systems are being monitored at all times – whether you’re in the office, out and about, or at home enjoying your Christmas break with loved ones!
