Top Security New Years Resolutions for 2022
It’s the time of the year to start planning out resolutions for the next 365 days. While losing weight and saving money are great resolutions, many business owners should be more concerned about protecting their locations in the new year.
If your local business, bank, or government entity had some security issues in 2021, now’s the time to follow these simple security resolutions in the new year to upgrade your security systems.
Resolve All Immediate Security Problems
When your security system completely fails, it’s usually due to a buildup of technical problems that went undetected. Getting a whole system replaced can be an avoidable expense when you plan security inspections regularly throughout the year.
A security system inspection can uncover minute security issues that can be easily fixed at a reasonable cost. So, not only does resolving all uncovered security problems ensure your system is working properly, but it saves your location so much money on long-term repairs.
Make Changes to Your Access Control Codes
Your employees have gone in and out of your doors all year long; and unfortunately, not all of them may have made it to the end of the year. If your entryways are protected by an access control system, now is the perfect time to make a company-wide move to reset your access control PINs and give your current employees new ways to access your building.
Although this may seem tedious, it’s an excellent strategy towards keeping the right people in and the wrong people out. While you could be safe leaving your access control codes alone, the off chance that a disgruntled past employee makes their way into your location is something that any employee would like to avoid for their team’s safety and the security of their inventory.
Backup Your Surveillance Footage
Sometimes issues like internal theft can pop up months or even years after the incident occurred. In order to ensure a culprit is caught and your financial loss can be recovered, you’ll need to have your surveillance footage on hand.
Unfortunately, sometimes data is manually erased or corrupted via malware. In these cases, it can be impossible to prove a crime without any backup. So, make sure to backup your surveillance footage to the cloud or an external device. This is an extra step that you should never miss in your security “to-dos” because you never know when past footage will come in handy.
Never Forget Essential Security System Maintenance
Finally, perform standard security system maintenance on all of your equipment at least once a year. From testing batteries to cleaning off surveillance equipment lenses, a quick maintenance sweep could be the security strategy that saves your inventory in the event of a break-in.
