Are you putting your residents and your reputation at risk? Ensuring your residents’ safety, privacy, and comfort is paramount. You implement security measures such as enhanced lighting and cameras and offer amenities such as workout facilities and laundry services, but are you neglecting other issues that are putting your property’s reputation on the line? Delayed maintenance requests inconvenience and frustrate residents. More seriously, inadequate key and fob control allows employees and contractors to abuse their access to residents’ homes. Lost or stolen packages or even identity theft can create a sense of unease.

Whether you need to protect proprietary R&D, trade secrets, personally identifiable employee information, or warehoused products, you probably recognize the importance of securing your buildings, assets, and data. In fact, you likely have policies and training programs that cover physical security and access control. However, security policies are only as good as your ability to hold employees accountable for their actions. Poor key control literally leaves the door open for outsiders to threaten your safety and security as well as for employees to abuse their access and harm your company. Much like how major data breaches can go undetected for years, small thefts from your facility or misuse of vehicle fleets can be difficult to discover and will cost thousands of dollars or more over the long term. Do you know if your employees are following your policies?
