Security is security, and generally speaking, the security of your business will involve cybersecurity measures and physical security measures. You should be concerned with both to ensure that your business is protected, so it should be good to hear that there are physical security measures you can take that will reduce the risk of cybercrime. The aim would be to reduce the risk of individuals gaining physical access to your business, allowing them to sift through paperwork to find passwords or steal electrical equipment to hack into.

  1. Keyholding service

Our first recommendation would be to reduce the risk of unwanted individuals gaining access to your property. For this, we’d suggest using a keyholding service. This ensures that the keys to your business are with a trusted security professional. In doing so, it helps to reduce the risk of keys being copied, lost or stolen.

  1. Lock and Unlock

Our lock/unlock service ensures that your business is opened and closed each day by a Carter Security guard. This is particularly useful if you have a high turnover of staff, or if you simply want to ensure that the keys to your business don’t get into the wrong hands. Our security guards will ensure only authorised personnel are granted entry.

  1. CCTV monitoring, Manned Guarding, and Mobile Patrols

CCTV monitoring, manned guarding, and mobile patrols all work towards deterring criminals and acting quickly should someone be seen trespassing. Trespassers could be trying to steal more than just your physical assets by peering through windows and sifting through waste in search of sensitive information that leaves your business compromised.

Passwords and sensitive information can often be found left on desks or thrown away in bins, to be emptied outside the property. If these fall into the wrong hands, you could quickly be facing a cybersecurity breach. Having physical security measures in place greatly reduces the risk of this happening.
