For a truly effective CCTV system, you need to monitor it round the clock to check for suspicious activity; otherwise, your system is mostly a deterrent or there to provide evidence post event (when most people would prefer to prevent the ‘event’ in the first place).

STANLEY Security, one of the UK’s leading security providers, is pleased to announce it will be providing its round the clock safety monitoring and emergency response management services to Blackline Safety customers across the UK and Europe. 

Many businesses are having to shut their doors on public access areas and high street locations during the COVID-19 lockdown and we know that this can add to a growing list of worries, particularly about how you can ensure your business premises are secured during any extended shut down or closure period. Under normal circumstances, we would recommend undertaking a security assessment with your security provider to ensure all aspects are covered and to identify any particular security risks that need to be addressed.

As the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread across the globe, more companies are adopting stronger measures to protect employees from contracting and spreading the virus.

At STANLEY Security, our purpose is to help keep our customers, their facilities and their employees safe.

Employee Unplanned Absences Matter “Absence makes the heart grow stronger” isn’t a term that’s heard much within the business environment.  In todays stretched workplace, unplanned absences can be a serious and potentially tricky issue to manage.  However, all is not lost – there are ways to tackle it, but it must be addressed in a fair and consistent manner.

and how security technology and awareness can help!  With the topic of security becoming increasingly cyber focused, it’s important for SMEs to not forget and underestimate the physical side. One particular form of attack to be aware of is the social engineering technique called ‘tailgating’  (piggybacking). 

Social engineering is a type of security attack that targets businesses through people. According to Nerds Support, 97% of people aren't even able to recognize when they're being targeted. That makes it essential for SME owners to ensure that their staff have full awareness, to protect themselves and the business. 

Why it’s important to monitor staff hours UK law requires you to keep some working time records, primarily to provide evidence that employees are not being made to work excessive hours.
