Maintaining a safe, secure business is naturally an ongoing priority for any owner. If you want to improve your business’s security and enjoy the rewards that follow, such as greater peace of mind and merchandise protection, there are many ways to do so. Here are a few security system suggestions and other related tips to follow for your business. 

How to Upgrade Your Business's Security

1. Refrain From Distributing a Lot of Keys

The more keys you give out to team members and other personnel, the more people have access to your business. Consider switching the locks on your store or other business or upgrading to a keyless entry system with rotating entry codes. If you want to stick with traditional locks and keys, limit how many people have copies, such as top-tier employees only. Depending on the nature of your business, you might need to add locks to closets containing sensitive information or expensive inventory and equipment. 

2. Install a Quality Security System 

Experienced burglars and similar individuals typically know how to spot dummy security cameras. Whether your business features such cameras or does not currently have a security system that includes cameras and door alarms, think about implementing one. Today’s security systems are usually “smart” and allow you to monitor your business from your phone. Such systems also provide alerts in the event of unusual activities, such as someone loitering for extended periods and taking photos of the business.  

3. Upgrade the Windows and Doors

If the windows and doors in your business are older or poorly made, they make it easy for unscrupulous individuals to break in. Do a window and door audit to see what needs repair or replacement and look for new products with high safety ratings. In terms of new doors, equip them with deadbolts. Unlike knob locks, deadbolts are virtually impossible for intruders to pick and therefore contribute to optimal business security.
