REGISTRATION AND KEY HANDOVER
The journey begins with your enrolment in our keyholding service, which involves a detailed assessment of your premises to pinpoint specific security needs. Following this, we securely obtain a set of your property’s keys, stored in a safe, off-site location and accessible exclusively to our authorised security staff. For security reasons, each set of keys is anonymously coded to prevent any unauthorised identification of your property.
ALARM ACTIVATION
Keyholding serves as a crucial link between your business and immediate support, acting as a 24/7 “control room service.” Upon alarm activation at your property, our central command centre in Chelmsford immediately receives a signal. This centre operates round-the-clock with security experts ready to respond instantly. Opting for professional keyholding ensures timely and efficient escalation processes, which are vital for the safety of your business and assets, regardless of the time an alarm sounds. Our approach minimises response delays, providing an essential layer of quick action for the safety of your property.
SITE INSPECTION AND SECURING
Upon arrival, our officers carry out a thorough inspection to ascertain the cause of the alarm. They check all potential entry points for signs of forced entry or tampering and secure the property. If the alarm is false, our officer will reset the system and secure the premises before leaving. In the case of an actual security threat, our officer will handle the situation according to pre-determined protocols, which may include coordinating with emergency services and securing the site to prevent further damage or loss.
INCIDENT REPORTING AND FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS
Following the inspection and immediate response, a detailed incident report is compiled. This report documents the time of the alarm, actions taken, and any observations or measures implemented on the premises. In the event of security breaches, follow-up actions such as damage repairs and coordination with law enforcement are also outlined.
COMMUNICATION AND REPORTING
Maintaining open communication with our clients is crucial throughout the process. After resolving an alarm activation, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing our response and findings. We aim to keep you fully informed at every step, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. For urgent issues, we establish direct contact with you or your designated representative to provide updates on the situation and our actions.
