Protive Security Weekly Round-Up: Keeping Your Business Safe & Secure

Welcome to this week’s Protive Security Newsletter, where we highlight key insights, innovations, and best practices in security and fire safety. Whether it’s improving access control, enhancing fire safety, or choosing the right monitoring solution, we’ve got you covered.

Fire Safety is Everyone’s Business!

Fire extinguishers are one of the first lines of defence against fire, but are yours easily accessible when you need them?

? Quick Response Saves Lives: In an emergency, every second counts. Having extinguishers in key locations such as emergency exits, kitchens, and high-risk areas ensures faster response times and could significantly reduce damage.

? Regular Checks Boost Reliability: If extinguishers are clearly visible, they serve as a constant reminder for regular maintenance checks, ensuring they function properly when needed.

? Compliance & Insurance Benefits: Proper placement and servicing help businesses meet fire safety regulations and can even reduce insurance costs.

When was the last time you checked your fire extinguishers? If it’s been a while, now is the time!

The Power of Biometric Access Control

Security is evolving, and biometric access control is leading the way in securing business premises. Why are businesses making the switch?

? Unique to Each Person: Fingerprints and facial recognition ensure only authorised personnel gain access.

? Fraud Resistant: Unlike traditional keys and passcodes, biometric data can’t be duplicated or stolen.

? No More Lost Keys or Passwords: Never worry about misplaced access cards or forgotten passwords again!

? Quick & Efficient: Seamless, instant access speeds up entry times, keeping operations running smoothly.

Biometric access control not only enhances security but also improves efficiency and convenience. Is it time for an upgrade?

New Installations: Strengthening Business Security

This week, we completed major security installations, enhancing access control and perimeter security:

New Automated Hydraulic Arms & GSM Intercom System installed at Kelling Group LTD.

Lost Keys Are Costing Your Business More Than You Think!

Did You Know? Employees lose an average of 1 hour per week searching for misplaced keys or access cards. That’s over 50 hours per year, per employee—leading to delays, security risks, and lost productivity.

Why It’s a Problem:

?? Operational Delays – Time spent searching for lost keys could be used productively.

?? Security Risks – Lost access items increase the risk of unauthorised entry.

?? Employee Frustration – The constant hassle affects efficiency and morale.

?? Financial Costs – Replacing keys, cards, and locks adds unnecessary expenses.

Solution? Modern access control systems—such as keyless entry and biometrics—eliminate these risks, keeping businesses secure and efficient.

Ready to say goodbye to lost keys? Let’s discuss an upgrade.

Your Security, Your Choice – Professional vs. Self-Monitoring

When it comes to monitoring your security system, which option suits your business best?

Professional Monitoring:

? 24/7 security experts watching over your premises.

? Rapid emergency response for immediate intervention.

? Peace of mind knowing your security is always in good hands.

Self-Monitoring:

? Cost-effective, with no external monitoring fees.

? Full control over system management and notifications.

? Flexibility to customise based on your business needs.

The Downside? Self-monitoring requires constant attention, and response times may be delayed in an emergency. For businesses handling valuable assets or high foot traffic, professional monitoring provides an added layer of protection.

What’s your preference—Professional Monitoring or Self-Monitoring? Let us know in the comments!
