Securing your offices
Professional services organisations across the East Midlands use Foremost Security Ltd to protect their office premises. Using the term professional services in the broadest sense, the list of Foremost's clients includes: Lawyers, accountants, bank branches, auction houses, architects, financial advisers and insurance brokers.
None of these businesses hold massive inventories of valuable equipment in their offices. For most the information they hold in physical files and on electronic media is the asset they have to protect most securely. That and their staff, of course.
Office security
The service mainly relied upon by service companies is Keyholding and Alarm Response with some Lock and Unlock used too.
Signage, advertising the use of security services, is sometimes not required because they don't want to give anyone the idea that there is something worth breaking in to steal. They aim to fly under the radar - staying low key to avoid bringing into question why there is security on the premises.
When offices are empty they are most vulnerable. So, much of the cover provided is between 5.00pm and 9.00am and over the weekends and Bank Holidays.
Protecting your offices and information
The potential impact if information in physical files or on electronic devices is lost through burglary or even just seen during a burglary can be severe. The disruption to the services you provide and the reputational damage which could follow can not be over-estimated.
Business managers have the responsibility of taking appropriate steps to ensure that the offices are kept secure out of hours. The use of professional security services is seen as one of the key tools in their arsenal to achieve this aim.
Security risk management and mitigation
Offices are often relatively easy targets. Out of hours there is rarely anyone around and this is relied upon by criminals, both professional and opportunistic.
Minimising the risk of break-ins and criminal damage for office premises often relies primarily on the use alarm systems. One key aspect of any alarm system is the response when the alarm is sounded. Keyholding and alarm response services, such as the one Foremost provide, ensure timely reaction on-site. The service also ensures that your staff are not dragged out at all hours to what may be a false alarm or, if not, it may be a dangerous situation.
