Tips for Office Security

Office security is often overlooked when considering internal risk. When a company grows, little details can cause a world of upset if the proper procedures are not implemented. This includes proper security protocols to ensure your assets and office are secure. Here are a few tips to limit the risk to your office.

Hide Valuables

This may seem obvious, but leaving valuables on the desk can entice an intruder or an untrustworthy employee to steal! Valuables don’t have to be just phones or other electronics but can include sensitive financial information or even client information. With all this in mind, make sure valuables are not left in plain sight to entice unethical behaviour.

Make sure IT/Comms Rooms are locked

In the digital world we live in today, one of the most secure places in an office should be the IT and Communications rooms. This is a room that can hold servers or internal shared drives that should have restricted access only by IT professionals. This being said, all offices with dedicated IT and Communications rooms should have access control systems for security and accountability.

Keeping a key audit within your staff

Key audits allow you to keep track of, verify, and account for every key that has access to your workplace. It’s essential to conduct an audit in order to account for each and every key, whether you’ve given the employees in your workplace 4 keys or 50. This can minimise unauthorised entry to your office and stop anyone who is not an employee from entering.

Office Security Alarm is back-to-base

A back-to-base alarm system is extremely beneficial. The key advantage of back-to-base monitoring is that security experts are always on hand and prepared to respond to alarms. A control room will be alerted if there are security breaches and take appropriate action to secure your office. In order to make your office more secure, back-to-base monitoring is a reliable security solution to further protect your workplace.
