subject: Protect Your Business From Unauthorized Personnel [print this page] It is important never to ignore access control to your business premises.
With the ever increasing number of opportune crimes that are being publicised in the press, security needs to be managed by vigilance nowadays and not just relying on your people and luck.
The thinking that it would never happen to me or my business is not really going to hold much confidence.
Access control is quite simply an absolute necessity in the modern world. It is essential, not only for health and safety reasons in the event of a major incident of knowing only authorised personnel are in your buildings but to ensure that any risk to the theft of information, data or materials are effectively managed and controlled.
Access control systems such as one of the more popular methods like card reader systems will not only permit you to monitor the people accessing your premises, they can also, in conjunction with more sophisticated technology, enable you to control exactly who enters which part of your premises.
If you consider for example, the sensitivity and regulations surrounding the Data Protection Act, you will know that the inappropriate disclosure of your peoples personal information or that of your customers, can cause serious damage to your reputation and indeed have devastating financial implications for your business.
You only have to consider all the negative publicity the government have had thrust upon them during announcements stating that customers personal information has been lost to see just how much reputations and finances can be affected.
