How we find the right security systems

Security systems

There are numerous security systems available to businesses, and it can be hard to know exactly what’s appropriate for your needs.

Earlier this year, Vanguard Risk was brought on board to manage all of Baron Insulations’ security systems and risk management needs at their new site in Melbourne.

For this, we conducted a detailed review of the site security, including the perimeter fencing and gates; key system; lighting; legacy alarm, access control and CCTV systems.

This led to a number of recommendations being adopted, including full maintenance and modifications on the alarm and access control systems.

We also implemented the appropriate class of alarm monitoring and alarm response, a full system test, and appropriate SOPs for system use – achieving an enhanced security outcome for the business.

This example raises a great question often asked by our clients…

How can security systems be designed and implemented in a holistic fashion?

There are numerous security systems available to businesses, and it can be hard to know exactly what’s appropriate.

However, once you find the right security system, it can be not only the security system protecting your people and assets, but also a business-enabling tool increasing operational efficiency and safety onsite.

Each business is unique, and requires different strategies to run smoothly, so it’s important to consider your needs before you make a decision; this is where Vanguard Risk can assist.
