Corporate security is a top concern for any business. It keeps the employees safe during the day and prevents the building from being broken into after hours. Consider the following list of options to increase your business’s security.

5 Business Enhancements to Increase Corporate Security

1. Fire Alarms

Your business should have alarms and smoke detectors that are appropriate to the size and style of your building. Alarm and fire suppression systems may be required by insurance companies or entitle you to discounts. A fire management system keeps employees, equipment, and inventory safe.

2. Lighting

Potential vandals or burglars are looking for an easy opportunity where they won’t be detected. Install bright lighting and motion lights around the building to deter unwanted nighttime visitors. Make sure that there are no dark spots where someone could hide. Good lighting is also valuable to employees during the winter months, helping them feel secure when they arrive and leave work in the dark.

3. Keyless Entry

Smartphone apps and key cards replace keys that can be easily misplaced or stolen. It’s also easier to change keyless access codes or passwords than to change locks and make new keys.

4. Security Cameras

One of the best ways to prevent theft, vandalism, and other crime during and after business hours is to invest in security cameras. Closed-circuit TV deters criminals and can mitigate harassment, theft, or bullying within the staff. When people know their actions might be caught on a security camera, it can motivate more ethical behavior.

5. Regular Property Inspections

Inspect the safety measures of your property monthly. Make sure security cameras are working, test fire alarms and motion lights, and inspect the fences, door locks, and other areas where corporate security might be compromised. Consider hiring professionals to help you assess and maintain your business’s security systems.
