Proven Business Security Measures to Stay Safe This Summer

Summer is a time for well-earned breaks, quieter schedules, and longer, sunnier days. But it can also bring increased risks for businesses  from reduced staff presence to opportunistic crime. If your premises are left monitored less than usual, the potential for theft, vandalism, or disruption can rise.

Now is the time to strengthen your security strategy and ensure your business stays protected, no matter how many people are on site.

Why Summer Brings Added Risks

During the holiday season, your usual security routine might not be enough.

• Reduced staffing means fewer people are on hand to spot and respond to issues quickly. 
• Empty or low-traffic areas can become easy targets for intruders. 
• Seasonal hires may not be fully trained in your security protocols. 
• Longer daylight hours can create more opportunities for potential criminals to observe your site.

4 Smart Security Measures to add for the Summer Months (& Beyond)

1. Increase Manned Guarding
   Having trained security officers on-site during busy holiday periods sends a strong deterrent message and provides an immediate response if an incident occurs. 
2. Upgrade CCTV and Remote Monitoring
   Make sure your cameras are working properly, positioned effectively, and monitored in real-time so any suspicious activity can be addressed instantly. 
3. Tighten Access Control
   Restrict entry to authorised personnel only. Key cards, fobs, or biometric systems can help you manage who comes and goes.

4.Have an Alarm Response Plan
        Partner with a provider (such as CSA Service Group) who can respond quickly to triggered alarms, day or night.

Don’t Forget About Staff Awareness

Even with fewer people on site, your team plays a vital role in security.

• Brief them on any changes to security measures before summer begins.
• Provide clear instructions for locking up, reporting suspicious behaviour, and handling emergencies.
• If you have lone workers, ensure they have a safe way to check in regularly.
