Building A Secure Regime

May 2018

With ever-present security threats, installing an integrated office security system helps build a safe workspace.

Building A Secure Regime

The security of any office space or building must go hand-in-hand with the operations and maintenance of its functions. Strategic use of safety systems can be made to work as indicators and reactors, in case of untimely man-made and natural disasters. A secure system not only ensures a working system that proves resistant to theft, fraud or criminal attack but also aids facility heads to detect faults and difficulties in time to manage the functions.

The making of an overall secure setup starts with an assessment of potential threats and vulnerabilities. Understanding them can help secure the structure by creating different levels of resistance. Each level blocks a particular set of threats, with the goal of making the system more and more impervious. Design, technology and operations work together in achieving a setup that is comfortable and well-guarded.

Perimeter security and door access controls help prevent intruders. This requires installation of a gate access control an burglary alarm unit. All gates and doors can be operated using a biometric system, card access control or keypad-based password protected control. This system helps keep track of who is in the building, where and when, and this information can come in handy especially during emergencies.
