What is G-SEC Keyholding services?
Keyholding is a specialist security service where a contracted security firm holds a set of keys to your commercial premises — in a secure, off-site location — to be used in the event of a security breach. Keyholding puts the responsibility of responding to a security issue, such as a burglary, in the hands of trained, reliable security personnel. This, as you can imagine, has a wide range of benefits to any business, and that’s what we are looking at in this article.
Does my business need this service?
Some businesses will nominate a selected member of personnel to respond to emergencies. They, often a manager or higher, will have a set of keys or a specific access code and will be alerted when an alarm is set off no matter the time of day or night. In some cases, small shops or offices in safe surroundings, this system works. But for larger companies, especially those in busy urban areas or industrial zones, need something more substantial. That’s where GSEC professional keyholder services come in.
