Why Keyholding & Alarm Response are Essential for Business Security

Alarm response and keyholding are an effective and affordable way to protect your business. Although most businesses have regular alarms in place, they are ineffective without a proper response. When an alarm is sounded, roughly 60% of people ignore it completely, with only 1.9% of people calling the police. Don’t let your business become another statistic.

How to Choose a Provider

Having a security strategy in place is the first step in protecting your workplace. However, choosing the right provider can be the difference in the level of service you receive.

Your security team need to be there when you need them most, so be sure to do your research. Be sure to read reviews, check their licences and request a few quotes. In any case, the most important thing when choosing a supplier is the locality. This ensures that they have a faster response time as well as better knowledge of crime in the area, offering a more effective service.
