REGISTRATION AND KEY HANDOVER
The process kicks off with your sign-up for our keyholding service. This stage includes a thorough assessment of your premises to identify your specific security requirements. Subsequently, we securely acquire a set of your property’s keys. These keys are kept in a secure, off-site location, accessible only to our authorised security staff. For security purposes, each key set is anonymously coded, preventing unauthorised property identification.
ALARM ACTIVATION
Keyholding acts as an essential communication bridge between your business and immediate support, serving as a 24/7 “control room service.” When an alarm is triggered at your property, our central command centre in Colchester instantly receives a notification. This centre is staffed around the clock with security experts prepared to act immediately. Opting for professional keyholding ensures timely and efficient escalation processes, which are crucial for your business and asset safety, irrespective of when an alarm occurs. We reduce response delays, adding a critical layer of swift action for your property’s safety.
SITE INSPECTION AND SECURING
Upon arrival, our officers will conduct a detailed inspection to determine 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 departure. In the event of a real security threat, our officer will manage the situation following pre-established protocols, possibly involving emergency services coordination and site securing to prevent further damage or loss.
INCIDENT REPORTING AND FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS
After inspecting and addressing immediate needs, a comprehensive incident report is prepared. This report outlines the alarm time, response actions, and any observations or measures taken on the premises. In cases of security breaches, follow-up actions, including damage repairs and law enforcement coordination, are also detailed.
COMMUNICATION AND REPORTING
Communication with our clients is paramount throughout the process. After an alarm activation is resolved, you will receive an in-depth report detailing our response and findings. Our goal is to keep you fully informed at each stage, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. For urgent matters, we establish direct contact with you or your nominated representative to keep you updated on the situation and our actions.
