The main entrance may receive the most security attention, but it is rarely the only way into a facility.
Employee entrances, emergency exits, loading docks, parking garages, service corridors, gates, stairwells, rooftops, and utility areas can all create vulnerabilities when they are overlooked.
Start by thinking about your facility from the outside in.
Where could someone approach the property without being easily observed? Are exterior areas adequately illuminated? Are gates, doors, and barriers functioning correctly?
Next, consider how employees and contractors move throughout the building. Restricted areas should not become accessible simply because someone has already passed through the main entrance.
Loading and delivery areas deserve particular attention because they often combine outside personnel, vehicles, equipment, and frequent activity.
Organizations should also consider operational changes. Renovations, temporary construction, new equipment, or changes in staffing can alter previously established security boundaries.
Security works best as a series of overlapping layers rather than a single checkpoint.
New Age Protection helps organizations identify security requirements across facilities and operations and develop solutions appropriate to their environment.
