Is Your Business Protected From Unauthorized Access?

Is Your Business Protected From Unauthorized Access?

Worried about someone entering your business without permission?

Unsecured doors, shared keys, open access points, and outdated security systems can create unnecessary risks.

Quick answer: Businesses can reduce unauthorized access risks by combining access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance, visitor management, and security monitoring.

Do You Have These Security Gaps?

• Employees share physical keys.
• Former employees still have building access.
• Visitors can enter restricted areas.
• Side or rear doors are unsecured.
• Loading docks are not properly controlled.
• You have limited visibility around entrances.
• Access permissions are difficult to manage.

How Does Access Control Prevent Unauthorized Entry?

Access control lets you decide who can enter specific doors or restricted areas.

Businesses can use key cards, mobile credentials, PINs, electronic locks, or biometric security.

What About Former Employees?

Physical keys can be difficult to track. Electronic access control allows credentials to be changed or removed when an employee, contractor, or other authorized user no longer needs access.

For higher-security applications, see biometric security.

Can Security Cameras Help?

Yes. Cameras can provide visibility around entrances, parking areas, loading docks, restricted areas, and building perimeters.

Explore commercial video surveillance.

What If Someone Enters After Hours?

Intrusion detection can help identify unauthorized activity when a property is closed or an area should be unoccupied.

Learn more about intrusion detection and security monitoring.

How Can You Control Visitors?

A visitor management system can help register visitors, contractors, and vendors while providing temporary or restricted access where appropriate.

See visitor management solutions.

Can Security Systems Work Together?

Yes. Access control, cameras, intrusion detection, and visitor management can be integrated where compatible.

This can give security teams more information about who entered an area and what happened around the entrance.

Final Takeaway

Unauthorized access can happen through more than the main entrance. Businesses should review every door, gate, visitor area, loading dock, and restricted space.

Layered security using access control, video, intrusion detection, and visitor management can provide stronger control over who enters your property.
