What does a security audit usually entail?
Pop-A-Lock’s trusted and professional commercial security audit generally consists of the following:
- Mechanical security: Checking physical structures and mechanisms such as locks, windows, and door frames
- Security system: If your business already has a security system, our technicians will evaluate the system itself as well as management
- Code compliance: It’s crucial that your organization is within compliance of things like ADA, electrical, and fire codes
- Security outside the building: This includes things such as lighting, cameras, gates, and even landscaping
- Environment: The physical location of your building can also play a critical role in recommending security solutions
Why would it be smart to get my business audited?
It’s important to keep in mind that there is no one standard security system that necessarily works for every single business. There are a lot of factors that can influence the level of security you need, therefore the system that best suits your needs is not the same universally.
Will Pop-A-Lock be able to install a system according to their recommendations?
Yes! In addition to performing a security audit on your business, our professional technicians will be able to install the system you choose on a different day. To schedule an installation appointment, call your local Pop-A-Lock and be one step closer to peace of mind.
What factors should I consider when deciding on a security system for my business?
Although every business is different, there are a few common factors that should be considered when determining which system is the best for you:
- Future plans: Think about any short or long term plans you may have for your business (such as expansion)
- Current system: This is where it is important to establish the plan going forward. Do you need an entirely new system or will you be upgrading the existing one?
- Assets: Consider the value of your existing assets and how it changes over time. Did you recently acquire new assets that will require a higher level of security?
- Credentials: How do you authenticate entry with your current system? Does this pose a security threat?
- Convenience: Oftentimes, higher security means sacrificing convenience. Deciding where that balance lies for you is crucial
