Most commercial break-ins happen outside business hours. The good news is that a few layered measures make your premises a much harder target.
Start with the perimeter
Good lighting, secure gates and visible cameras deter many intruders before they reach the building.
Control every entry point
Access control schedules can lock doors automatically at closing time, so no entrance is left open by mistake.
- Automatic lock schedules for every door
- Alerts if a door is forced or held open
- A clear audit trail of who entered and when
Add monitored alarms
An alarm is only effective if someone responds. Professional monitoring means alerts are acted on immediately, even at 3 a.m.
Review regularly
Test alarms, check camera angles and remove access for former staff at least every quarter.
