Quickly Locksmith Guide: How to Keep Your Office More Secure in 2023

Quickly Locksmith Guide: Keeping Your Office More Secure

It’s a new year, which means it is time to re-evaluate the security measures you have in place at the office.

In the same way, you put new processes in place as your needs change as a company, it’s essential to relook at what your offices or commercial property needs to remain secure.

Criminals are always looking for new ways to gain access to not only physical assets but sensitive data too. So, it only makes sense for business and commercial property owners to stay on top.

We regularly advise our commercial clients on recommended security changes and considerations, which is why we have put this guide together.

Keeping Your Office More Secure in 2023 – Expert Tips

Here are our top suggestions for making your offices more secure as we head into the new year.

Review Your Emergency Protocols

Fires, bomb threats, natural disasters, and emergencies can happen at any time. When last did you review your emergency protocols and who in your office is aware of them? Not only should you ensure that you have measures in place to deal with various emergencies, but your employees should be aware of them too. You should also have at least two to three people in charge of implementing the protocols should an emergency occur.

Arrange a Security Audit

Technology is changing all the time and if you haven’t updated your commercial security measures in a while, now is a good time. By arranging a security audit, a professional Quickly Locksmith representative will evaluate your premises and any existing security measures.

From there, he can advise you on what needs to be upgraded as soon as possible and the systems you might want to consider shortly. This will include everything from cameras and access control to alarms and floodlights.

What’s more, reputable locksmiths are aware of new criminal trends in Miami and the latest products and technology available to reduce risk and loss.

Review Employee Access

When dealing with a large number of employees, it can be easy to lose track of access cards and codes. To avoid theft and additional losses, make a point of reviewing who has an access card or code. Deactivate any cards or codes that are no longer in use to keep your business more secure.

You may even want to decide whether all employees need access to all areas of the office or building. This can also help reduce security risks.

Update Your Visitor Policies

What policies do you have in place to distinguish visitors from employees and are they still relevant based on your access control system? Any visitors must identify themselves and make the necessary arrangements to be on site. Doing so reduces the risk of theft, vandalism, and other more serious security issues.

Analyze Your Digital Security Policy

Protecting your employees and physical assets is not all you should consider when it comes to security. How you protect sensitive data should be an important part of your security plans for 2023. Let’s face it, it’s not unusual to hear about a new online security breach every other day, so make online security a priority.

Along with locking your server rooms, look at how employees handle sensitive data and who has access to the data. Do you have a strong antivirus and firewall in place? When last did you change your passwords?

If you don’t already, now is the time to put a digital security policy in place and ensure all employees adhere to it.

What’s Next?

By taking a more proactive approach to security, you can keep your offices more secure in 2023 and beyond. Once you have the necessary policies in place, you can update and carry them through to each new year.
