Offices can be targets for theft, unlawful entry, kidnapping, bombings, forcible occupation and sabotage. Effective barriers, both physical and psychological, can reduce the likelihood of these threats. The following guidelines will help you analyse office security and offers measures to reduce your target potential:

Install key-card access systems at main entrances and other appropriate doors.

Issue access control badges, with recent photographs, to all employees and authorised contractors.

Upgrade perimeter control systems with intercoms and closed circuit-monitoring devices.

Keep master and extra keys locked in a security office.

Develop crisis communication among key personnel and security officers, involving intercoms, telephones, duress alarms or other concealed communications.

Have a back-up communication system, such as two-way radios.
