Keyholding services are a great option for businesses looking for professional 24/7 security solutions to safeguard their premises without the need of a permanent guard presence. In this blog, we’ll explore the advantages of hiring external keyholding services to elevate your business security, from enhancing security compliance to saving money on in-house security teams.

Read on to discover how contract keyholding services can contribute to a safer, more secure workplace for your staff and customers, and explore our advice on how to choose a security provider for your business.

1.  Save on In-House Security with Keyholding Services

Delegating keyholding services to external contractors like Samsic can save you money by streamlining your security fees and eliminating the need for costly training courses for internal security staff for the same role. Professional commercial keyholding staff provided by external contractors are fully trained and fully equipped to handle a range of security breaches and accessibility threats without you needing to train in-house staff or invest in equipment.

2. Rest Easy Knowing Experts Are Protecting Your Business

Whether responding to break-ins, fire alarms, or unexpected disturbances, keyholding services provide a trusted point of contact to manage security concerns without disrupting business operations. For out-of-hours emergencies or security risks, you can rest assured that your business is securely protected by trained professionals with years of experience, so no matter where you are, your business security is in safe hands.

“As an Estates Manager of Tarmac Mountsorrel Quarry, I would like to say what a great working partnership we have with Samsic Security. They have a great team working for us, and their management is always there to help us when we need something” – Estates Manager, Tarmac Mountsorrel Quarry

3. Never Worry About After-Hours Threats Again

With keyholding services, professional security teams are available 24/7, ensuring a rapid response to alarms, emergencies, or suspicious activity, day or night. Whether there is an unexpected midnight alarm activation or an early-morning access risk, your business can rely on expert support from external keyholding services at any time, maximising its safety when you are not around.

4. Rapid Emergency Response When Every Second Counts

Keyholding services ensure a swift and professional response to emergencies, minimising risk and preventing damage or disruption to your business operations. As keyholders have full access to your premises, security risks can be monitored and attended to without you being present, removing the need to wait for access before handling security threats.

5. Effective Accessibility Control – Anytime

Keyholding services provide a structured approach to accessibility, ensuring that only authorised staff can enter designated areas while preventing unauthorised access, especially out of business hours when access risks are increased. Keyholding services can also support lock-up and unlocking procedures, ensuring businesses open and close securely each day. This prevents security lapses, forgotten locks, or improper access management, ensuring optimum safety for your premises and staff at all times.

6. Reduce Security Risks Without Putting Your People in Harm’s Way

When an alarm is triggered or an access risk is detected, trained security staff can act immediately by arriving on-site to assess and handle the situation, eliminating the need for business owners or employees to put themselves at risk by responding personally, and minimising associated risks.

 

Samsic Security has exceeded our expectations in every way. Their expertise, meticulous planning, and genuine care for the wellbeing of our staff have been key factors in the success of this partnership.
