Maintaining a Secure Premises During Holiday Periods
Shuretech • 5 November 2019
Most businesses will have periods where either no staff or very few are present at the premises, most commonly during the Christmas period. At times like these, it’s very important to make sure that your business is as protected as usual.
So, with that in mind, we thought it would be helpful if we gave you some tips about how to keep your business premises secure during these times of the year.
Addressing Any Known Security Issues
The best place to start is to address any issues that your security systems already has. If there’s something that you’re already aware of that could prove to be a frailty as far as security is concerned, it's time to fix it.
Criminals may have already identified these areas as weak spots in your security and they may just be waiting for the perfect time to take advantage of this.
Test All of Your Security Systems
Making regular checks of your security systems is important, regardless of the time of year. However, if you’re planning a period of decreased activity it’s worth putting some time aside to make sure that all systems are operating as they should.
Some of the checks we would recommend would include, making sure that CCTV systems are providing adequate visibility and that there are no blind spots that could be taken advantage of. We would also recommend checking all alarm systems are working as intended.
Fix Any Potential Security Flaws
Now that you’ve tested all of your security systems, it’s important to fix any issues. Some of the issues could be easily fixable on your own, perhaps an alarm just needs some batteries replacing. However, if larger issues are present, we’re here to help.
At Shuretech, we specialise in providing a variety of security solutions. So, if you’ve realised that your shop’s shutters or your site’s CCTV systems

Hire Extra Security
With less, or perhaps no people at the premises during some parts of the year, it’s important that there are enough people to sufficiently protect your workplace. Chances are, at the points of the year when you and your employees are away from work and relaxing, criminals will be most likely to strike.
With that in mind, we would recommend reviewing your current security personnel setup and whether it is the appropriate level of protection for any potential security threats.
