9 Ways to Protect your Business with Summer Security

Summer security tips for your business

With the weather heating up as we head into the intense summer months, your business should be adequately preparing for the increased security risks that the season can bring.

At Arundel Fire & Security, we have a deep understanding of these security risks and how to effectively tackle them to ensure complete protection, no matter the season.

We have compiled a list of our top tips to help keep your business secure during summer:

Secure Valuable Items

Before the workday ends, laptops and other valuable items should be locked away out of sight. Hiding the key in an unsuspecting and less obvious place where employees will remember to access it is recommended. This tip is simple, but significantly lowers the chances immediately of being burgled.

Lock all Doors and Windows

While it’s tempting to open windows and doors for fresh air, make sure all entry points are securely locked at the end of each working day. It is recommended to assign this job to a particular trustworthy individual at your place of work, as this places accountability and authority on their shoulders ensuring that checks are carried out thoroughly.

Install CCTV Cameras

A CCTV system can be a strong deterrent to combat criminal activity. Visible cameras can discourage potential intruders and provide essential evidence if a security breach occurs.

Choose Smart Security Systems

Smart security solutions are a cutting-edge option which can provide real-time monitoring and alerts. These alerts are sent directly to your mobile device, allowing you to stay connected to your business premises remotely from anywhere. Responses to a security breach will be a lot quicker, should you choose to install this advanced and modern security solution.

Check alarm systems regularly

It is key to make sure that your intruder alarm system remains effective by scheduling regular maintenance. A well-maintained system promptly detects unauthorised access and alerts authorities promptly. Arundel Fire and Security provides quality intruder alarm maintenance checks for commercial alarm systems.

Check exterior security lighting

It is important to ensure that your business’ exterior lighting is functioning at its brightest and best. Criminals tend to avoid well lit areas where this is risk of them being spotted by pedestrians or CCTV cameras.

Keep surrounding bushes and hedges trimmed

Make sure that bushes and hedges around your premises are fully trimmed down. This will eliminate potential hiding spots for intruders, especially during the summer when vegetation growth is rapid.

Be Discreet About Business Closures

Avoid publicising business closures on social media platforms. Opportunistic thieves can use this information to target empty premises.
